Super Fuzz - _TNY_6010

The sloe bug (Dolycoris baccarum) is a shield bug which looks like this: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/51857074470/

 

It is also known as the hairy shield bug which feels like a weird name when you look at the adult one.

 

Seeing the third instar form of it which is what we have here makes it much clearer though - even if this specimen was exceptionally fuzzy.
