    Hi Karin!

    I like the composition of this one, strong wire display, nice contrast here, and the shield bug just wow. Well chosen perspective and rule of thirds too!     Posted 12 years ago

      thank you so much, Ludo Sak. I could take this picture close to my home, a place called Eppstein. The bug was sitting on a fence, thats protecting a company. It very kind, to let me know your impression of this. Posted 12 years ago

The Hawthorn shield bug

The hawthorn shield bug, ''Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale'', is a common European shield bug. Its chief food is haws, the fruit of the hawthorn tree, but adults can overwinter on a diet of leaves, and individuals can be found on many potential food plants, including pedunculate oak, sessile oak and whitebeam.
