I managed to acquire this cutie for free with some cut dahlias, and then photograph it before I gave it the run of my garden :-)

This shot was taken in this very early morning together with the member of KLNO (Kuala Lumpur Nature Outers).

 

Bukit Rahman Putra in Sungai Buloh is really a wonderful habitat for these very-rare insect species.

No idea what type - there seems to be quite a few!

Every night we get two or three of these Shieldbugs on the half-glazed back door, looking like they're longing to come in!

 

In order to get a shot, I open the door so light falls on the bugs and take my shot there .. the underside is shot through the glass, hence slightly blurred!

 

Thank you very much rockwolf for comfirming this is the Forest Bug, Pentatoma rufipes, much appreciated!

 

We have a stand of sycamore trees behind the house, plus assorted wild plants and grasses.

  

Shield bug, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

 

Thought it was about time I shot some more macro, so I saw this little pest in the garage and took his picture!

 

The yellow "dust" over the bug and the handle is Pine pollen that blows over this part of New Zealand at this time of year. Everything gets a coating

As a child you would wait

And watch from far away

But you always knew that you'd be the one that work while they all play

 

In youth you'd lay awake at night and scheme

Of all the things that you would change, but it was just a dream!

 

Here we are

Don't turn away now (don't turn away)

We are the warriors that built this town

Here we are

Don't turn away now (don't turn away)

We are the warriors that built this town from dust

 

The time will come when you will have to rise

Above the best and prove yourself

Your spirit never dies

 

Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above

Don't weep for me

Cause this will be the labor of my love (my love)

 

Here we are

Don't turn away now (don't turn away)

We are the warriors that built this town

Here we are

Don't turn away now (don't turn away)

We are the warriors that built this town from dust

 

Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)

We are the warriors that built this town

Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)

We are the warriors that built this town from dust

Commemorative shield, once displayed at the church of Kristdala, Småland, Sweden, as a memento of the either Lyder Svinakula or his son Henrik Svinakula. The family came from northern Germany in the early 14th century. Henrik was born sometime in the first half of the 14th century, and was quite wealthy, owning several estates in Östergötland and Småland (including six in the parish of Kristdala). He also married well, his wife was Kristina Björnsdotter who had land in another part of the country - Närke. But towards the end of the 1350s Henrik had severe economical problems and for the next twenty years their estates were sold off (including Kristina's ancestral home). Henrik is mentioned for the last time in 1384. He left no known issue (his daughter Ingeborg died before her father).

 

This shield (one of a couple) was never used in battle, and was never intended to be used in battle either. It was used at a funeral, and then left in the church where the funeral had taken place. The shape of the form has made researchers suggest a 1380s date, which make it likely to date to the death of Henrik Svinakula.

 

The shield shows a black boar (I might add that 'svin' means 'boar') on a golden field - displaying a couple of nasty fangs and a red tongue.

 

On display at Historiska Museet, Stockholm.

San Francisco, California. November 12, 2025.

The Bear Gulch pictograph site is located outside of Grass Range, Montana. The day after our ice caves hike, we headed over there to tour the site.

Bear Gulch contains over 3000 individual pictographs (drawings) and petroglyphs (engravings) on the rocks, over 1/3 of which are shield-bearing warriors. The shields cover most of the body, with just the feet and head seen sticking out behind it, such as the small one dead center in this photo.

The site is located on private land, but you can call ahead to arrange for a tour. The site was extensively documented in 2005 as a result of 35 researchers spending 2 weeks to capture the art found at the site. Here is an interesting article for further reading:

The shield shop in Batuhan crafts and sells the best shields west of Petraea. Besides crafting shields for the Batuhan Guard, shields are made to order or repaired when needed.

 

This MOC is my entry into the Medieval Shop Category of the 2020 Colossal Castle Contest (CCC XVIII). An interior to the workshop (second floor) can be seen in my Shieldsmith MOC.

Zen moments in the garden:)

This has to be the best set of portraits of a Shield Bug that I have managed so far :)

It wandered into our conservatory and wouldn't let go of my washing, so I decided to take his/her portrait!

An unexpected find in the garden today. I'd gone out there to hopefully capture a bird, but was on my way back indoors when I spotted the Shield bug on the Alstroemeria.
