    I photographed a few of these Striped Bugs at different locations last year when we travelled to the North.
    This year we went to the South and found the other one - Half-spotted stink bug.

The Minstrel Bug

Graphosoma italicum is a species of shield bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is also known as the Italian Striped-Bug and Minstrel Bug. The bold red and black warning colours indicate that the insects are foul-tasting, protecting them from predators.
