About half a dozen paddlers in Oban around half ten this morning they had the sunshine i got the rain heading south
A interesting insect.
Lovely picture. That's a nymphal stage of a shield bug. Can't say which species.
can I swipe your picture for my "What is this bug?" thread please?
"...Just had a look at the books ,and i think this is Nezara viridula..."
Sunday, Sea Kayaking at Arisaig. Not great quality photo but look at the sea !
Harvestman agrees. It does indeed look like Nezara viridula. That's what I get for posting without looking things up. Thanks Jason, again.
Sandbender, you must not be in the UK, as my book says that isn't a UK species.
I am advised that my book is out of date and Nezara viridula does occur in the UK.
Doesn't really matter as Sandbender is in Hungary & they're very common in Europe, the shield bugs that is , not sandbenders.
