In all my life until today I had never seen one myself...
One of the most interesting bugs I think I have ever found - the shield bug (usually green I believe) turns brown around autumn time. I spotted this one on the wheel of the wheelie bin after it had been emptied today, and was very surprised - never having seen one before.
So I took it indoors to take photos as when these beetles fly, they are loud and fast, and if it took off the chances of a finding it again would be scooby.
So this is my first one , a marvellous insect that ranks as one of my faves now!
C&C of course as always invited.
Paul.
