Saw this little critter amongst the anemone that i was deadheading... Crawled right up my arm. Friend or foe?

shield bug, harmless.
Green Shield Bug Palomena prasina . Not beneficial, but not harmful either.

Ok, thanks! Nice bug!!
We love shield bugs - we always call each other to 'come and have a look' when we find one
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I found Tortois shell beetles on my runner beans yesterday.. They appeared this time last year for a couple of days then just went... I never did anything about them as the beans have 95% finished now...
