Are there any insect experts on here who can tell me what type of #Shieldbug this is and whether it's beauty masks an evil nature? Spotted near Lorgues, Var a week or so ago.

More buggies from the National Botanic Garden. Missed the focus on the nymph but there's still enough there to ID it ^.^
Hard to see against the leaf, this elevated, slender shieldbug is a Box Bug (Gonocerus acuteangulatus).
This is another recent arrival in the UK.
A little above freezing but the bright sunshine resulted in some basking.
This was the star of the day.
Graphosoma italicum (Müller, 1766)
