Peninver at lunchtime

Amron it was lovely today right enough I spotted this sunning itself in the garden and wondered if anyone knows what it is. Probably quite common but I have never seen it before. It was about the size of a 10p piece.

Anybody know what it is called??

Hi Jeanette,

It's a type of Shield Bug known as a Forest Bug. There are some other nice pictures here: http://gardensafari.net/english/shieldbugs.htm

Thanks Gary, I'm not too keen on insects and usually ignore them but this one is quite impressive.

A wee pic taken half an hour ago

That's lovely amron I took one about half an hour ago as well Plenty practice we might make photographers yet I'll go and see if I can find it.

Not as clear as yours

It certainly is. I found one on our Landrover last year, hence how I know what they are. Don't often see them as they prefer the murky depths of the forests.
