Many thanks to Rockwolf for the ID help with this tiny plant bug! This is one of the two Stictopleurus bugs known in the UK - S. punctatonervosus and S. abutilon. Both are historically rare or accidental, but have recently become well-established in the UK.
GROUP: SMILE ON SATURDAY
THEME: BUGS
SUBJECT: A SPIDER DEVOURING A BEE
Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
This little fellow has been invading my office twice today (flying and crawling). I have never seen this species before. Now I know this bug is "Leptoglossus occidentalis" and comes from North America. First seen in Europe in the late 1990s, since 2006 here in Germany.
I put him on my window sill where he remained and observed me all day long.
This bug was one of a number on our Acacia fimbriata. This shot and the one in the first comment box are obviously of different development stages. I have yet to see a mature specimen with wings fully developed. To give you an idea of their size, the diameter of the wattle flower is 5 mm.
I am still waiting for an ID. It is probably one of the Miridae family.
Actually its not my hobby. I just bought them at ebay to practice macros with subjects which do not run away ;-) Focus Bracketing for example which I have also used here to get the whole bug sharp (not the needles).
Dock Bug, Coreus Marginatus.

Hope this meets your approval dear partner x
I think this is an adult Hawthorn Shield bug (on an Ivy leaf) if anyone could confirm the ID I'd be grateful. I can't wait for some better weather to get out & take new shots, for now I'm still raiding the archives. HGGT & HBBBT everyone!
this is two of my biggest fears, That is The Time That passes and the cockroaches.
I'm trying to expand more and more concepts of my photos, I hope it is a year full of emotions that ...

Another phone pic of these Southern Green Shield Bug nymphs, taken at the same location 5 days after the earlier shot. At a rough guess there were at least 50 on this bush. They appear to all be 4th instar.
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.
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.
A bug, possibly of the Pentatomidae family, but I cannot get any closer than that..

Vitex trees attract all kinds of pollinators. From bumble bees to flea beetles.

I wanted an awesomely detailed face shot. The beetle had other ideas. Well at least it is still detailed.

There are aphids on this rosebud. Apparently, the big one is a mother who has given birth to all the little ones.
The camera can see better than I can. I had no idea there were bugs there.
There were ladybug larvae on the roses last year, so hopefully they will appear and gobble up the aphids.
Speke Hall
The kitchen garden in the grounds of Speke Hall. The little wooden building by the terracotta bell pots on the left, is a hotel for bugs and insects. The beds in the garden are planted with potato’s, broccoli, cabbage, carrots and numerous other veg. In the far right corner is an area dedicated to herbs.
The building with the very wonky chimney that is situated just outside the garden is now a cafe, In the 1600’s this was a much large timber framed barn.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
I saw this bug on a car window. When I saw the image on the computer I liked the effect and to me it looks as if it is in space.
This bug is genus Riptortus, a pod-sucking true bug, with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
Body length 20 mm.
