Cheerful looking small green #ShieldBug visited me in the garden today.

Pollen Beetles, Byturus ochraceus, Ham Hill this morning - one of my favourite beasties @somersetwt.bsky.social @dandelionappre1.bsky.social #britishbeetles #britishbugs #britishinsects #yevilcountrypark #hamhill

Just came across this beauty running across the road near Gairloch as I’ve been staring out the door of my camper enjoying the evening. A granulated ground beetle I think, which runs around like a maniac hunting slugs and worms.
