This is a great picture. I’m glad to learn the name of that insect, too. I recently posted a similar looking insect (http://punctalucis.com/2014/01/27/green-bug/), but didn’t know what to call it.
I always enjoy my visits to your blog.
Thank you Mr. Gentleduck. My image shows a Hawthorn Shield Bug. I think your image is of a Gorse Shield Bug.
I am glad you enjoy visits to this blog.
He is getting to be quite a venturesome fellow, hope he doesn’t get blown away by the gales!
They are quite hardy insects.
Lovely colouring.
