I am always happy to read your comments, dear readers. However, I am trialling 'word verification' for a little while, as I have been receiving a lot of spam. The spam never makes it onto the comment pages, as I am moderating all comments. But it is starting to get tedious to moderate all the spam. I hope this will not cause any inconvenience to any of may regular readers. Please leave a comment - I am always happy to hear from you! :)
Do I get a prize for naming the bug?

You sure do, Maggie! What would you like? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. It does look like a shield bug.
It looks like a juvenile of the Green Vegetable Bug, a type of shield bug. They are the bane of my life, very destructive in the veggie garden, and they love the Solanaceae.
