Hi I'm new here :-)
My wife is the one with green fingers, she keeps finding these insects in the garden, see attached, well I hope it's attached, then she asks me what they are. I'm clueless. :-( Does anyone know, also if they are good or bad for the garden? Thanks for any indication |

The message
from hondo contains these words: Does anyone know, also if they are good or bad for the garden? It's a shield bug. It's not exactly a friend, though it doesn't do a lot of harm: sucks it juices from plants, and may not be welcome if you have raspberries - they leave you with the little stones in the drupes, though. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
