Hawthorn Shield Bug

 

Hawthorn Shield Bug in Scotland

This is a Hawthorn Shield Bug. I've posted one of these little guys before along with other Shield Bugs. They are nice little things. He was happy to walk on my hand for a short while.

  7. It is exquisitely marked. As you point out they are also referred to as stink bugs, for good reason - so be careful!
