Lygus rugulipennis (aka Tarnished Plant Bug)
by Yorkie
Whenever I get out my macro rig and head out into the garden, the bugs head off on holiday - and today was no exception. However, I did manage one quick shot before this 6mm little blighter got airborne. It wasn't until I saw it on the computer screen that I realised that it is quite a handsome critter, so all is forgiven - for now.

Certainly easier to say Karl.
Could I ask a Mod to correct my stupid spelling mistake in the title, from Pland to Plant please, it's doing my head in.

Nice capture. They come in all colours it seems. This is quite a pretty one.

Bit of a mouthful identification wise though...i'd call it the 'Love Bug' re. the heart shape behind its head.
