My pictures of this one are not very good. It was a heavily overcast day and the bug was very shy.
Nevertheless it has to have a post.
If I saved every penny that I earned for the rest of my life I doubt that I would be able to afford one of these, they are exquisite. If I ever did have one of these I would give it to someone that I loved as a present. Dream on.
It is a nymph of the Bronze Shield Bug.
We have had this nymph on before in “A Bug to Hug” this is what it looked like then.
This is what it has become today.
Come Back! I can make you famous.
Come back…… Stupid bug.

Sometimes pressing “like” doesn’t do it. WordPress needs a “Absolutely love” button. They really are a Faberge thing. But better ‘cos they can move.
