Shield Bug , Sloe Bug (Dolycoris baccarum ) on Ragwort
Almost sure I've got the right one !

On camera flash.

Interseting John as I have only seen it in green, is this a new model?

Thanks all.
Stephen.- Most of them are in fact greenish but there are a lot of species The Hawthorn shield bug is green and that's quite common. Even individuals of the same species can vary a heck of a lot.

Great detail in the shell

Some great looking colouration in there John.
Nice detail showing the subject well.
Looks slightly off on the back end but nice all the same.

Very nice capture John, like the central comp and those Ragwort make for a very colourful BG.
