Bugs from the Patch today

I love it when we score with a wanted species - Pied Shieldbug in the back of the potter!

Presumably a 1st for the patch as will be I guess the Brassica Shieldbugs on Jack by the Hedge along the approach track to Ringstead Downs!?!  Andy found a Rhombic Leatherbug whilst searching for Blue Shieldbug (still no joy) and on the way back to the cars we recorded Green & Sloe Shieldbug.  Early in the day we had a Hawthorn Shieldbug along Green Lane.
