Shield Bug?
by paullucas
This bug was on a honeysuckle in my garden yesterday. I think it's a Shield Bug but am not entirely sure as I didn't see the back of it.
Also the thing coming out of it's mouth, is it part of it or a meal?
I have tried to find out what it is but have had no luck, so am sticking to my first thoughts of a Shield Bug.
I would be grateful if someone can confirm its name.
Lens: Sigma EX 105mm

I do not know what kind of bug it is, but I do know it is an excellent capture of the subject - well taken.
Not everything in life is Black & White, If only it were!
