| | | Like a shield bug, but not
Found this when sweep netting a wildflower strip. Reddish brown in colour. Looked a little like a shield bug, but without the 'shield'. The edge and surface of the abdomen were rough rather than rounded and a smooth line. Using an awful camera, so didn't come out well.

Thanks, Jason.
I've seen lots of the adults and probably had them down as a type of shield bug, but none in this form I don't think. Now I know what the adults that I've seen before are, so thank you vey much

Ta very much. I'm slowly putting together a very amateurish collection of species I find on a piece of land for a local farmer, and the pooled knowledge in these forums is staggering. Books cost an absolute bomb and are being obtained slowly but surely  |

I'd just been looking at shield bug life cycle stages on there!
Thanks very much again
