Corroded Bronze - _TNY_0045

Most shieldbugs are herbivore, but some of them instead are predatory - like this bronze shieldbug (Troilus luridus) with the beautifully shimmering parts in blueish green which I found as I was exiting the Tyresta National Park at Åva-Stensjödal after a short photo trip.

 

It looks quite nice as a nymph as well which can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52789998287/
