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.
The first time in my live see this creature,I don't know the name this Bug.or insect.
Thank you Sir Francis.I got the name now.
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.
A bug, possibly of the Pentatomidae family, but I cannot get any closer than that..
Suburban Canberra, Australia, January, 2017.
Non Native invasive species from North America. Had an incident with my car windscreen. Recovered fine but I made use of the reflection. Big beast just under 2 cm long.
This one got Explored!
I wasn't concerned
When it landed on my arm
Thought it was harmless
Note: Apparently Assassin Bugs can deliver a rather nasty bite, so I got lucky.
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 wanted an awesomely detailed face shot. The beetle had other ideas. Well at least it is still detailed.

I watched a video that said to use a flash outdoors when you photograph flowers. So, I tried it with one of my prime lenses and sure enough, it works pretty good. However, not so good with yellow flowers. In fact, the yellow wild flowers were hard to photograph period. The bug, don't know what kind, was a bonus. I didn't see him until I processed the image..:)
Didn't actually realise he caught anything until looking at this photo on a PC. Very fast and difficult to capture birds.
I don't usually tend to double up with my uploads but this is another shot of the Brown Shield Bugs on my Tibouchina tree taken two days ago after a small petal fell on them during overnight rain and scattered them a bit. This shot was again taken end on with near maximum aperture but with a flash and shows the reality we face dealing with shallow depths of field.
I was doing a bit of research over the weekend and was also amazed at the difference to DOF that different focal lengths make. For instance with two otherwise similar lenses with otherwise similar settings, a factor of two in differential focal length (say 105mm to say 60mm) results in DOF's for the same aperture that can be five or more times different. That's a significant amount and meaningful in terms of outcomes of macro photography and shots.
Many of these small (4.25 in. or10.79 cm) Orange-crowned Warblers were migrating through Anza Borrego this past weekend.
This shot has a large crop. View Large on Black

Think the ID is correct but if anybody thinks different I would be very glad to know as I am a very amateurish bug detector
Captured with my iPhone 8 and the "black eye" macro lens...for this weeks "Looking close... on Friday!"
