Being a very wild and windy weekend, the camera was resting and I was doing some tidying in the garden when I felt something crawling up my arm. This little shield bug, with patterns I have not come across before, was obviously requesting a photo shoot, so I put him on a nearby twig and duly obliged

A very smartly turned out fellow quite deserving of your time and effort.
I generally find if something crawls up my arm it stings me.....
A beautiful little creature Carol, very interesting markings.

A bejewelled beauty, Carol.

We never have anything like that in Leeds.

I seem to have the opposite effect, and scare creatures away! Great set, Carol, love the iridescence of the colours

Super new variety to add to your collection. Sylvia
What a beautifully marked little bug Carol, the detail you've captured is exceptional. I'm amazed at the biodiversity you have in your garden, the number of different species you've recorded over the years astounds me
What little cutie! How well you recorded the metallic shine in his markings!
4 wonderful shots, you have done so well to get the camera.
Btw I came out from the doctor last night... What did I see? A shield bug I the grass. Yes, I did the same you did. I'm glad the doctor didn't send me to see the psychiatrist
