Another shield bug

Paul Iddon

I hadn't seen any that I could recall in all my 48 years as a human (I was once an alien, I'm sure, heheh) and then 3 come along all at once.

Following on from my first shield bug, I founmd 2 more at the in-laws house and popped them into a tub and brought them home to photograph.

Still not had the right light to get a really good shot, but managed this one. Will try to improve if I get the chance and the bugs survive in their new home-made environment long enough.

C&C as always.

Great shot. Bugs lend themselves to portraits much like people.

We call them "stink bugs" in USA. They are about everywhere - but a little more brown than your guy:




Mine is missing an antenna!

Cheers Brian.

It was mobile sometimes, and steady at others. I just had to wait.
