Here's #bugtober day 1: Spined Soldier Bug nymph. Very cute. Too small to pet, sadly.
Another true bug, but I'm really not sure what kind. I think it is in one of the subadult phases. Central Park in late May.
A selection of True Bugs found in #Bath #Somerset #UK this weekend: Green Shieldbug, Dock Bug, Hairy Shieldbug and Hawthorn Shieldbug.
