Shield bug?

That's all the information I have!

I took some old trampoline edging to the tip and found all sorts of fun creatures :-)

In other news..... TFI Friday.  No.2 son has not enjoyed school this week.  Neither, I expect, has the little girl that was bitten by him or the boy who he pushed over.  We're going to re-group over the weekend and start again on Monday *sigh*

No.1 son however, has had a lovely playdate after school and I was so proud of him when I picked him up.  He was massively sweaty and implausibly muddy but so unusually polite and calm.  Bless him :-)
