Pointy Nose, pt. 1 - _TNY_9983

This streamlined little guy is a bishop's mitre shieldbug (Aelia acuminata) clinging on to the seedhead of a blade of grass just outside the Naturum park information centre in Tyresta National Park during the Midsummer's Eve celebrations.

 

The Swedish name for this guy, "liten spetsnäsa" literally means "minor pointy-nose".
