This week's Beetles / Bugs
/So far this year I haven’t had many bugs, for instance shield bugs seem in short supply, but here are three bugs & beetles from the last few days. The Red Soldier Beetle was fished out of the swimming pool, looking a bit the worse for wear; it’s only maybe the third I’ve recorded though it’s common enough in the surrounding countryside. The small & stripey Pea Leaf Weevil dropped onto my dinner plate one evening Mirid bug, Liocoris tripustulatus, is also small and easily overlooked, but present; especially where I left a clumps of stinging nettles.
