A Red-legged Shieldbug stands on a wet heuchera leaf after a rain shower. The bug is large, with extended angular "shoulders". It's mainly a deep bronzy brown colour, but it has an orange spot at the tip of its scutellum, and the connexivum (the flattened edge of the abdomen) is chequered in cream and dark blue. Its legs are a deep orangey red, with tiny black spots. The leaf is a deep violet colour.
