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?

Of course. :)

"...Just had a look at the books ,and i think this is Nezara viridula..."

Thanks for that, lots of shield bugs around here.

Sunday, Sea Kayaking at Arisaig. Not great quality photo but look at the sea !

I'm feeling a bit homesick now, lovely pic. :)

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I am advised that my book is out of date and Nezara viridula does occur in the UK.
