A sunbathing Shield Bug

I was going to pick this apple for lunchtime but guess it can stay another day.
The Apple tree is only 4ft tall but produces a great crop of sweet, crisp and juicy apples similar to Golden Delicious.

Wonderful tasty shot! Favourite

[Brian]

Lovely. I like the photo bomber beetle.

[Babs]

I am sure the bug will guard the apple for another day

[Kathy A]

Nice shot. I hope the photo bomber doesn’t eat your apple

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely different type shot

I really like the composition and the color. The little photobomber is just an added benefit.

[Kitty Hawke]

They do look yummy.....not the critter of course !

[Mags]

Beautiful capture!

[PhotoCrazy]

Nice capture!

[Kate]

I love apples but wouldn’t want that bug!

[Lis Lapthorn]

Very autumnal. Great capture.

Hi Sudan having trouble with my router sorry for delay. Cam you do a photo full of movement please. Good luck.

[Susan Wakely]

@allsop now that’s a bit of a challenge but happy to give it a go.

[Wylie]

Stink bug? Yuck!

[Ingrid]

Ha! He hopes to stay dry when it rains!

[Kathy]

Shield bugs. I think here they might be called stink bugs. Yes. Distance and time are good.

[LManning (Laura)]

The apples look quite appetizing! The bug not so much.

[Beth]

Yes, we’ve had a few stink bugs circulating around. I DO NOT like these STINKY flying bugs!,

[Dione Giorgio]

Some beautiful apples you have there. And they look delicious, too. I don't like bugs on my fruit trees but I don't like spraying insecticides either.

Excellent creature
