A Stinkbug from a different angle. 
It is very interesting to see the detail of the fold-away mouthpiece and how it is used!
Here it is sucking sap from an immature flower bud.

  1. Exquisite as usual, Maggie! You get the most awesome angles of high interest. This shows so much armour and perfectly, amazingly designed working parts!

  3. Stinkbug… That’s what we used to call John… the second husband of my Dad’s sister. He was a Scotsman, and didn’t feel the need to bath regularly. In fact your “stinkbug” looks a lot like him. I’m cruel, I know.
