Harlequin Bug

I was wandering around our garden this morning looking for our resident blue tongue lizard to give him some mushroom and came across this harlequin bug, so I thought I would take a photo of it.

I took a few more photos while I was out there too and will post them over the next few days.

Another hot day, just off to physio.

Australian birds are colourful than New Zealand birds, now, your bugs are more colourful too. Envy.

Intetesting. It is different to our halequin ladybird which is an invasive species.

Great shot and colour. I think our harlequin ladybirds are black

[Babs]

@ludwigsdiana Not sure the physio is helping. Will give it another go and then maybe give up on that one.

@helenhall @busylady This isn't a ladybird. Different species.

[Helen Jane]

@onewing thanks - I thought perhaps it wasn't a ladybird, but has similar markings.

[Rob Z]

Nicely colourful. I hope the physio is helping...

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He certainly is a colorful fellow- but he'd better watch out for that lizard or he could become dinner. Good shot!

[gloria jones]

Terrific close up

[Tunia McClure]

I'm not fond of bugs but this one is beautiful.

[Kathy]

Hello you bright bug.

[Pat]

Ooh look at him! What a beauty!

[Shutterbug]

Nice capture. I love the colors and details.

[Babs]

@olivetreeann Indeed the blue tongue lizard gets rid of all the nasties in our garden including snails.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Wow

[Kathy A]

Nicely shaped and patterned bug

[4rky]

A pretty neon bug...but you can keep it! :)
