Reverse Candy Bug - _TNY_7275

I am not completely sure this is a birch shield bug (Elasmostethus interstinctus), but almost.

 

It was, along with ten or so more of its brothers and sisters hanging out on the window sill one early morning.

 

These guys were actually quite difficult to shoot as they are so bloody shiny, but at least them being a little cold slowed them down a bit for me.
