Thanks Wabbit. I don't think I would like to be speared like that.

Great capture - I didn't realise they were preditors/insectivores. Thought they were sap eaters for some reason.

Thank you Linda. It pays to stay still in a spot for a few minutes and watch what is going on around you. This is in an area where there always lots of shieldbugs.
