Shield

Whilst sorting through our firewood yesterday I came across this curious looking creature.

Forest Shield Bug

I rescued it from the impending fire and watched it happily scuttling off into the undergrowth. A bit of investigation shows that this is a Forest Shield Bug, which has a liking for trees and apparently can be considered as a garden pest. I'm not sure I like the term 'garden pest', I'm quite happy with it being here.

We also had this lovely Angle Shades moth in the porch last night.
