Two Green shield bug nymphs

Two Green shield bug nymphs I like the black and white stripes on the edges of their shields, it looks just like they are hand painted. These are two second stage nymps of the green shield bug sitting on a blackberry (the analog version ;). Dutch name: Groene Stinkwants (Palomena prasina) Austria,Geotagged,Green shield bug,Palomena prasina

    Great capture. Love the light on the shields.
    Did the animals smell badly according to their name? ;-)

      Actually I didn't try to sniff them ;)
      And the smelly secretion is only excreted when disturbed and I didn't disturb them, they really couldn't be sitting better then this.
