Some pictures I have gathered over the years of shield bugs, quite the variety of them it seems.

Bee in the hole
The bee hotel has given me a great opportunity to watch the Bees doing their thing. Resting, gathering and nesting, its very cool. I’ll do more posts of them but this pic from last week is one of my favs.

Egyptian Grasshopper
This post is just for the Egyptian Grasshopper. We had many just hanging around in Spain, so good for photo opportunities. Not so good when you didn’t see them and they fly off catching you unaware.

Tiny speckled bush-crickets
These little guys are super small, but once I saw one it was easy to spot the other two. Three little speckled bush-crickets happily getting some sun on the potato plants. Which has reminded me of how awesome bush-crickets are, so I may just do a bigger post with all the different ones I have photographed over the years. I’ve also been naming flies, bees and beetles, so there may be a few more nature posts coming up 🙂

Rosemary Beetle
Not the best shot as it wouldn’t turn around and was quite shy. But such beautiful colours and a metallic look.

Bloody-nosed beetle
I have only seen this type of beetle once while out walking in Oxfordshire Countryside I think this was a couple summers ago. Luckily I had my phone for a picture.
