Title: mystery insect time
Post by: Ragged Robin on September 01, 2004, 22:20:32

O.K you wise ad wonderful folk, heres one for you:-
 Have recently seen a new beetle/bug in my garden which i have been unable to identify, it looks somewhat like a cross between a shield bug and a ladybird with either a dark green or black top with cream spots around the edge with a light pinkish coloured underbelly and is currently to be seen on the buddlijha and chelone......

Any ideas to its identity and as to whether or not i should be concerned over its presence will be gratefully received
    Many thanks

Have no idea, but there are some good pics on this site. Can you spot it here??

And if you can, is it a goodie or a baddie??
