Green Shield bugs - Adult and nymph
Saw these two this afternoon on my Twisted Hazel Coryllus avellana 'Contorta'
The lower one is the adult, the upper a nymph, probably in its final stage before adulthood.

They are Green Shield Bugs Palomena prasina

Nicely captured and it's of interest to see the difference in markings between the adult and nymph :cool:

Hi David

You have controlled the 'contrasty' light well showing great detail!

Nice and sharp where it counts and very good exposure control :toast:

Your SD14 is serving you very well David :smile:

Very nice shot - thanks for the info about these beasts. Might it crop vertically rather nicely and minimise the OOF on the right??
