    Howdy,
    This is NOT Pentatoma rufipes, but Coreus marginatus (family Coreidae).
    Please remove/add tags accordingly so the images may be displayed in the correct galleries :o)     Posted 8 years ago

The Dock bug

"Coreus marginatus", commonly called the dock bug, is a species of squash bug. It is a speckled brown insect with a broad abdomen, and is common in most parts of Europe. It is often found in dense vegetation, such as hedgerows and wasteland, where it mainly feeds on the leaves and seeds of docks and sorrels.
