Hoverfly arriving at Thistle flower


Shieldbug nymphs Bronze Shield Bug (Troilus luridus)

These nymphys were found on a gooseberry plant close to my home. The two larger ones are approx 3mm in size and the one on the bottom left has just shed its skin. They are possibly called  Bronze Shield Bugs (Troilus luridus)
