Spiked Shieldbug

I love the white bands on its antennae and limbs, and, of course, the armour it carries everywhere it goes. Best seen in "Fit Browser Width"

Really impressive in every respects. Almost unusual shield bug, the likes of which I've never seen before 🤓

Yes, most unusual. Note the orderly array of little gold “buttons” running the length of his shield! I was lucky to spot it at the city’s Riverdale Park, site of a working farm —right in downtown Toronto.
