  1. Thank you so much for dusting of your archive, Arp! I know it's a lot of work, but you know these bugs belong here for us to enjoy, rather than be mere bytes on a disk somewhere local :) Posted 6 years ago

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.
