"What Is That Bug?"

Green Shield Bug

Palomena prasina

This flat, shield-shaped bug is common throughout England and Wales, but less so in Scotland.
It is bright green and stippled with tiny black dots in spring and summer, but changes to greeny-bronze in autumn. Its wing tips are dark brown.

Adult shield bugs hibernate in grass tussocks or leaf litter and emerge in May.
Females lay clusters of small, barrel-shaped eggs on the undersides of leaves. These hatch into wingless nymphs, which crawl between plants to feed, and become the new generation of adults in September. These bugs can often be seen basking in the sun during late summer before they hibernate. Both adults and nymphs suck plant sap.
It is sometimes called a green stink bug as it produces a pungent odour from special glands if handled or disturbed.

As if by magic this bug stopped by to say hello and ended up the subject of the theme... isn't it a ugly brute.... ha!

This will be my last Header Challenge as Wiggers World is now going on hold for a while... I would like to thank you all for stopping by.. not just for the fun of the Header Challenge but to all who visit blogs... I don't think any of us blog for the number of visitors we get.... it only takes one comment now and then to give encouragement to another blogger, it lets one know your pictures and writing are appreciated.. Keep visiting others, drop a comment there now and then and enjoy yourselves..

Once again thank you all.

Setting Sun

I took these this weekend as the sun was setting.... the sun caught the leaves of this Bay Tree and lit up the leaves bright orange.... I had to go get the camera. The sun will be setting over Wiggers World for a while after this weeks Header Challenge.... see post below for why.. in the mean time enjoy the views

Weekend Moon

As of the end of this week Wiggers World will be taking a rest for a while.... this is to give me chance to renew my picture folders and to concentrate on a new project about my town of Hyde in Cheshire. Thank you all for stopping by and visiting, comments and 'online' friendship.

Thanks to my old school friend David Gee for this shot of a resent visitor to his garden... this reminds me of the saying 'Bitten off more then you can chew'... I have to say that I like the light in this shot... thanks for sharing this Dave.
