I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks. Found it on the British Bugs web site. It is indeed one of the shield bugs. It's a final instar nymph.
We love Shield bugs ... I've never seen one like that
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Agree. They are lovely.
Got his 'Saturday night out' clothes on, Dove
Not seen one like that either, although there was a little green one by the pond yesterday. I had to be careful when I was moving gravel and rocks around in case I squished him

Think that one's dressed up for Strickly Fairy ... that looks like the bug equivalent of spray tan and glitter
