Captured this little guy a couple days ago at the park. He was not interested in having his photo taken. Had to chase him round and round the plant he was on.

C&C welcome & and if I have the ID wrong, please feel free to correct me.

Thanks Joan, he gave me quite a workout chasing him around.

Thanks Brian, there was a slight breeze and I spent almost an hour chasing round and round. It'a almost he was trying to play games with me.

Once shieldbugs get spooked they won't stay still will they? :)
Both shots have plenty of detail but look soft. If you added a bit of sharpening to the reduced image before posting they'd pop a bit more, especially shot 2. There's a great shot in there trying to get out!

Thanks eccles, I tried the sharpening a bit.
Did I make em better or worse?
