@rogerhorton.bsky.socialIn the garden this morning a gathering of Southern Green Shieldbugs, Nezara viridula, maybe 3rd, 4th & 5th instars. Are they missing the climbing beans that were dug up a week ago?! 😬 Lower right photo seams to show nymph with discarded exuvia.

@rogerhorton.bsky.socialFrom the garden this morning a Lygus sp. bug. On a leaf (L) and under a lens (R) in the hope of seeing the 'punctures on middle of corium' for id but no success. 😐

@gremlingraeme.bsky.socialFirebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus)
Historically very rare and known only from a single Devon population, but many other colonies have been recently reported from Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Suffolk, Kent and Bedfordshire, most of which are probably the result of accidental introductions
@rogerhorton.bsky.socialComing to Woodbridge in East #Suffolk today wasn’t going to help as it’s Firebug central including lots on Hollyhocks in Turn Lane.

@thattnicholls.bsky.socialMet the new nextdoor neighbours today (Firebugs - Pyrrochoris apterus - in case you’re wondering)….
If they shuffle sideways by a metre or so they’ll be a new garden tick for us. The urge to give them a nudge is very strong 😬
@rogerhorton.bsky.socialMeeting for lunch in Cambridge. One day soon I’ll get tired of taking photos of Firebugs. Pyrrhocoris apterus, on Hollyhocks near a Lime tree in New Square #Cambridge today.

@wildlifetom.bsky.socialThe last few times I’ve put the moth trap out, it’s attracted the attention of several Turtle Bugs! Thrilled to have these pottering around my garden
@rogerhorton.bsky.socialParent Bug, Elasmucha grisea, for some reason failing to recognise that my finger isn’t a plant.
