Heterocordylus tibialis

26 Jun 2015 1 582
A specimen of Heterocordylus tibialis I think, found on Broom originally but did the usual trick of dropping off as soon as I approached for a picture. This one never stopped running either, trying to pan along blades of grass in pursuit of a tiny bug with Canon's MP-E 65 is an amusing activity for those watching.

Dolycoris baccarum (Hairy Shieldbug)

12 Mar 2015 5 2 496
A hairy Shieldbug coloured green on its dorsal surfaces and legs by a covering of Pleurococcus or similar simple green algae. I have seen quite a few like this along with many specimens of green Shield bugs that have a similar coating on the dorsal surfaces and legs. I assume that the algae has grown whilst they were hibernating and has yet to be cleaned off by the bugs as they fully awaken.
