British insects, Common Green Shieldbug, Exapion ulicis, Gorse weevil, Green shieldbug, Palomena prasina
Slowly, slowly, more insects are emerging. When I was getting a Gorse photo for last Sunday’s yellow wildflower challenge, this teeny tiny Gorse weevil (Exapion ulicis) paid a visit. I’m not sure if it was getting salt from my hand as it seemed quite reluctant to leave.
And yesterday I was scanning a Buddleja for leaf mines when I had the feeling I was being watched. This Common green shieldbug (Palomena prasina) was very well camouflaged sitting perfectly still on its leaf.

This was one of #WildflowerHour’s weekly challenges (using that hashtag on Twitter or Facebook should find it). Each week there’s a new challenge, the results of which are then shared online between 8 and 9pm on Sundays. Last Sunday it was to find as many yellow-flowering wildflowers as possible. If you flick back to Sunday’s blog, you can see what I found. 🙂
