    This chap sometimes visits our garden. Is he a goody or a baddy?

    Its a Shield Bug of some description Clueless; I've never found them to do any harm, I find I see them more when its windy as they get knocked out of the trees...there are much worse bugs out there, not one to worry about..:dbgrtmb:
