Hawthorn Shield Bug

My first Shield Bug of the year flew in and landed on the window. Hawthorn Shieldbug, with its pointy shoulders, is a colourful and common bug in deciduous trees. They over-winter as adults and appear each Spring with a new generation appearing in August/September. I usually see a few each summer.
