After ‘kinda sorta’ searching a few databases, still couldn’t find the name for this bug. I think bugs and beetles are quite lovely and so many different colours, sizes and shapes.
I must admit I love those pinboards in museums that show the different species from small to large in all their splendour – not that I would go about pinning bugs, beetles or butterflies myself. I do however have a small collection of dead beatles and butterflies I have found on my wanders.
This particular I think quite striking bug, went on its merry way amongst my everlasting daisies….

Lovely shot Lynette,
I looked up my book and the closest insect I could come up with is the Gum Tree Shield Bug (Theseus modestus). Try looking it up and see what you think. Lesley
