Adult - _TNY_6004

Yesterday I posted two shots of green shieldbugs (Palomena prasina) in their final instar stage before taking their adult form which I took on the same tansy (Tanacetum vulgare). Here : www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53640811803/ and here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53639718662/

 

Well, here is another one from the same place - but this one has already moulted so this is what it will look like for the rest of its life. Notice that unlike the nymphs, this one has wings and can fly when needed.
