Three different instars of Nezara viridula nymphs spotted in a west London garden, early this week - and it seems the adults look quite different again!

Lens extension tube arrived - which means I can get EVEN CLOSER TO THE BUGS. Ahem. Cue some photos from a quick test-drive out in the garden...

Butterfly: Pararge aegeria
Ladybirds: Coccinella septempunctata
Shieldbug: Coreus marginatus?
Spider: possibly Araneus diadematus?

Red-legged Shieldbug, Pentatoma rufipes?
