Extras: I've not really had much success with bug shots over the years - so when this little chap presented himself close to the House this morning, I thought "365" - what else? Best viewed on black (just click the photo, if you're not sure how to do this).
In the UK these are called "Green Shield Bugs", I think, although there are other colloquial names elsewhere (Green Stink Bugs, Green Soldier Bugs etc).
Later note: Just realised this shot qualifies for two of the June daily word challenges -Bug" and "Macro"!
@sarahlth Thanks, Sarah. @fbailey Yep. spot on. They're called something else outside the UK I think. @onewing Babs, thanks. He does, doesn't he. I was surprised he stayed and posed for the shot, as the lens was only about 2cm from his head. I suppose it may have been a bit cold for him first thing! @flowerfairyann Thank you, Ann. @quasi_virtuoso Thanks, Rachel.
