I found what I think is a shield bug in my garden in the Scottish Highlands during august. Could someone identify for me please. It was on aster plants.

Hello, Jane! It's a Pentatomidae nymph. Could be Holcostethus, but that is just a guess. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hi Jeurgen, Thanks for confirming Pentatomidae nymph. I wish I knew which one for definite. This is a species I have not seen before. Best Wishes Jane |
