Very Red,Very Green, Pt. 2 - _TNY_8163
I met this colourful guy close to our house and I think it is a birch shieldbug (Elasmostethus interstictus).
This one was quite shiny and proved a challenge to photograph without catching excessive reflections in the carapace.
Shot at 2.7:1 magnification.
Part 1, shot straight from the front can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/50997529557/
