Corroded Bronze, Pt. 3 - _TNY_0047

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.
