Shield bug families!
The 5 UK shield bug families can be thought as the 5 points of a shield! Though compared to the approx. 13 families worldwide our island is just a small collection of Pentatomoid Hemipterans (represented here by the green shield bug Palomena prasina).
Enjoy! As per feel free to ask me anything about anything :)
Bothering the resident Hemiptera again, specifically the Hairy/Sloe Shieldbugs (Dolycoris baccarum).
