Good capture - tend to be called shieldbugs in the UK and stinkbugs in the US.

Nice shot. Depends on what side of the pond you are on. They are the same.

Cheers everyone, I had thought it was a Shieldbug but saw an identical bug on another post described as a Stinkbug.

Cleared that up a treat :D

We call them Stinkwanze in Austria, so I call them Stinkbugs now :)
Nice shot btw.
