Two unknown bugs...

...but then most are unknown to me. :D

This first bug was quite difficult to capture as there was a light breeze that kept blowing him out of view. It did drop off enough for me to get a few shots to choose from, this being the best of the bunch.

I was about to leave for home when I felt something small hit my hand. I looked down and this next one was just sat there. I was able to get quite a few images.

The eye here looks OOF, but when I zoom in on the original it looks fine (ish).

Anyone have any comments on this :dunno

    2nd could be a species of shield bug, brian will probably know.
