Bug patterns

This bug was wandering around the edge of the basket I use to collect vegetables from the garden. I think it's a Stink Bug?

[Marnie]

Yep, that's a stink bug all right. Eats your flowers and veggies, but be careful how you squash it.

A brilliant image Robyn, well taken. Myself, I would cut back on the contrast. It will give you far more tone's. but still a fav.
It's one of the many Shield bug's.

[Taffy]

What a great idea! And it really came out well to see these different textures/patterns in the bug.
