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.
I don't know the name of that bug. Does anybody know it's name?
The length of that bug is just about 2mm and unfortunately I had no tripod with me. Therefore this is a free hand shot, made just with the help of my E-M1 in body image stabilizer.
Took the Beetle for a spin today after being stored over the winter. Took some shots next to a field of rape. 10 minutes later I broke down and had to call for help. Nice to break down in the middle of a busy island junction!
A few interesting insects I have photographed when I couldn't find much else stirring.

2)Oleander Aphids
3)Pyrota lineata - a type of blister beetle.
4)Ascra bifida - a type of stinkbug

Thank you all so much for stopping by and for the kind comments and favs. They are very much appreciated!
My plan was to capture the shroom but then this bug landed and the camera changed focus. I had it set on a 5sec delay so...
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.
Or should that be B B B B B B B B Bond Bug (s)?
Back in the early 1980s a friend of mine who was about 6 foot 3 and built like a brick ****house had one of these.
This bug, wanting to become the smartest one in the world, kept me company during the last night's endless learning session.

Location :
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.

Bugs never bug my head. They are amazing. It is the activities of humans which actually bug me all the time.
