A fourth instar nymph in Earlham Cemetery, Norwich - July 2020 Thanks to Chris Brooks via iSpot for the id.
I came across this individual in the kitchen. At this time of year, Common Green Shieldbugs take on a bronze hue before hibernating and this is clearly evident in this insect. It will re-emerge bright green in spring. It is sitting in an old hummus pot whilst having ts portrait taken prior to being reintroduced to the garden. Norwich - November 2019
