    As usual, great shots. And this time, it appears as if he is watching your every move.

    They will often be present on vegetation, especially shrubs. They don't draw attention to themselves by (often) flying and tend to be of similar colour to the foliage. They are often seen when stalking other subjects, such as flies.

    Thanks all for the comments- appreciated :)

    Jo - you are right about it "appearing" to be watching my every move - the "pupil effect" is caused by the light that hits the eye directly opposite the camera lens going down into the eye instead of being reflected off so it always appears directly towards the camera lens.

    It is not green enough for the species and the underside should be pink. Nice pictures, anyway.

    Yes appears I have mis-ID'd it - it's a Gorse shieldbug
