Stilt Bug, Metatropis rufescens, (Berytidae family).
Length 9-11 mm.
This large and unmistakeable orange-brown Stilt Bug is a woodland species, feeding on the leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade, Circaea lutetiana, an indicator of ancient woodland. They feed predominantly on the reproductive organs of the plants.
Despite its name, Enchanter’s Nightshade is unrelated to other Nightshades. It actually belongs to the willowherb family and is found in sun-dappled woodland, flowering between June and September.
This Stilt Bug is found throughout much of southern Britain including Wales, although absent from Ireland. It occurs in shady, mostly moist habitats in deciduous forests.
Overwintering occurs as an imago, (the final and fully developed adult stage), under loose bark or dry ground litter. Mating occurs in May and the females lay their eggs individually in June and July on the stems and leaves of Enchanter's Nightshade. From August, sometimes also in July, the emergent new generation occurs, and nymphs can be found until September.

This poor kid has such a bug phobia. She just can not hold it together around stink bugs or spiders. She's crazy allergic to mosquitos and develops these huge baseball sized welts wherever she's bitten. After several weeks of camp, creek walking, she is covered in massive itching welts. This evening a gnat flew in her ear and she fell to the ground, covered her head with her arms and just sobbed "I just can't do it anymore. I hate them so much. I just hate them! WHY DO THEY LOVE ME SO MUCH?"
I was actually trying to shoot some lichen on this twig, when this guy wandered into the scene and demanded some attention.
I've been in Coventry visiting my parents for the weekend. Dad brought a conifer into the house to decorate as a Christmas tree - and a couple of juniper shield bugs came in with it :-) I haven't seen these in my garden, so a new photographic record from the weekend.
Handheld, natural light.
(NB. My photos-of-the-day were of family members so I've not made them visible for public viewing)
I changed the formula a bit and tweaked the color and lighting settings a good deal. Mot a totally new fractal, just a light tweak, but I do like the results. Thank you, Garth, for sharing the parameters.

Saw this big bright bug on a milkweed pod. Looked it up for an ID. Go figure.. Large Milkweed Bug. LoL!
A new bug for my collection - a Common Sawfly (Tenthredinidae) of some kind. Sawflies and their larvae are food for various birds, such as stonechat (Saxicola) birds, partridge chicks, nestling corn buntings, Black grouse chicks, and chestnut-backed chickadees, according to wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawfly
This was on the wall behind a Vitex tree. A new kind of stink bug for me and very pretty. They eat both other insects and plants. They don't damage agricultural crops the way other related species do.
