Description: Green shield bugs are about 10mm long and have broad, flattened bodies with a shield-like shape. The adults are pale green with a blackish-brown triangular area at the rear end.
Where to find them: The adults overwinter in sheltered places and can be found after they have emerged in late spring but are more readily found in late summer-early autumn. At that time they can often be seen sunning themselves on the foliage of a wide range of plants.
Interesting fact: The green shield bug is unlikely to be seen in Scotland but there are other species of shield bugs, mostly yellowish brown in colour that can be found there.
