I found this little chap on an outside wall and can't identify it.
Anyone know?
Edit. Now identified as final instar nymph of Parent Bug (Elasmucha grisea).
Happy "Looking close... on Friday!" with "bugs & co".
... and thanks a lot for your views, faves and comments! :-)
My husband thinks this is a cherry tree, but I thought cherry blossoms were pink, so I am not sure lol.

Leaffooted Bug (A true bug!), Leptoglossus oppositus

Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family. Several species are economic pests of agricultural crops. Like members of some other genera in the family, these bugs have leaflike dilations of the hind tibia. Leptoglossus oppositus is one of a variety of species of leaf-footed bugs. It looks very much like Leptoglossus fulvicornis but can be distinguished by the deeper scallops in the leaf-like feature of the hind tibia and the addition of three white spots across the hemelytra.

This tiny bug can hardly make a good macro shot for me. I blame it on its size and the competency level of the kit lens used. And yet I still think it lives up well to my bokeh upload with some sense of depth perception.
Let me share a little profile on this petite creepy-crawly, I think it belongs to a stink bug family. I remember this type of bug is quite a nuisance that would discharge stinky smell when they got disturbed. In a good dry season they may congregate in millions. It is known to be agricultural pest that causes widespread damage to fruits, vegetables and crops.
When you see this kind of bug, don’t try to pick it up, just take a picture and leave.
Don’t bug the bug!
HBW everyone!

Sloe Bug (Dolycoris baccarum) on spent dandelion head. Feeds on flowers and fruits of hedgerows and woodland edges..Family Pentatomidae (Shield Bugs). Hartington Meadows Nature Reserve (Derbyshire Wildlife Trust).
Predatory water bug.
Approx 12mm long. It is alive and I put it back into the water. These can bite. They are strong fliers and I think this one was about to take flight.
