Problem BUG with Young

[Beeclose]

This is the first time I have seen this Bug with it's offspring,on the apple tree, I will have to get the spray to them!

Nice capture. I'd leave them alone- I haven't used insectacide in my garden for years- tends to self balance- other bugs eat them :).

Nice capture - looks similar to a shieldbug?

Hiya Beeclose,

Nice shot, looks like it may be one of the Predatory Stink Bugs- that are found in your part of Oz.

you could see if you can find a positive ID here

So it may well be beneficial to your Apple Tree

Cheers for now

Nice shot of a Stinkbug

Nice shot. Don't spray it let nature take it's course.
If we spray every where there will be nothing to photograph.
