                  @martin-f lovely photo of a 3rd instar juvenile shieldbug ....just think those beautiful markings will soon be lost.... and will turn to brown to overwinter in the fallen brown foliage of Autumn and Winter....then revert back to green when the Spring appears and everything will green back ...to continue the successful camouflage...Nature is incredible...never ceases to amaze me :)

                    Thank you for the information BH :),

                    If it doesn't chose a different place to hide the birds will eat it :frown:, it was hiding in the sunflower heads i put above the compost heap for the birds.

                      @martin-f don't think many birds will ...or if they attempt to they soon reject them as their other name is "Stink bug" :eeew: so not too palatable methinks :heehee: It's no doubt looking for very small bugs inside the drying Sunflower head ...you're gardens been a veritable hive of activity ..just think of it not so long back when all these visitors were strangers to your home how wonderful that you and the family can experience and live alongside each other :) ....maybe a small stumpery in the gardens the next project ;) they will overwinter in there alongside ground and stag beetles who are fantastic for the garden as preditors to slugs :dbgrtmb:
