It was a surprise to get 4 Turtle Bugs (Podops inuncta) out of grass tussocks last Sunday in Perton (Staffs), as I normally only ever find one at a time! #Pentatomidae #Shieldbug

@rockwolf74.bsky.socialWhen recording Shieldbugs & Allies in Kent back in 2016/17, I didn't see any Vernal Shieldbugs (Peribalus strictus vernalis). Last week, I saw quite a few! #Pentatomidae #Shieldbug #Kent
@rogerhorton.bsky.socialFirst year I've had Southern Green Shieldbug around my house. Ones in the front garden look like torquata but the ones in the back are different - is there a name for those? Haven't looked at iRecord yet but wonder how to record. How many more to get a full set? 😉

@rockwolf74.bsky.socialMy first Halyomorpha halys (Brown Marmorated Shieldbug) in the UK, from Gravesend in Kent last Monday! Perhaps I oughtn't be pleased about it, but I am!! 😆 #Shieldbug #Kent #Pentatomidae
@rockwolf74.bsky.socialIt's the first time I've found the snazzy torquata form of Nezara viridula (Southern Green Shieldbug) in the UK! From Gravesend in Kent last week! #Heteroptera #Kent #Shieldbug
@brightonwildlife.bsky.socialEurydema ornata is a native #Shieldbug species (this one is the pale form adult)
There are very few local records, only four in East Sussex!
@pkster101.bsky.social found these in #Brighton near the clifftop.

@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
