Pied Shieldbug

And his shadow.

OK I failed the wet Tiny Tuesday challenge but it's been such a nice dry sunny day. I was actually hoping for a peacock butterfly. One (I'm convinced it was just the one) has been messing with me all day, first flitting around in the garden, then following us on our walk across the fields. It would land in a sunny spot but take off as soon as my hand went anywhere near the camera. I was waiting for its return on this nice warm rock, but got the bug instead. About 5mm in size. I did like his shadow.

Camera club went very well last night, much better having a live speaker than a recorded talk, even over a Zoom link. Hybrid Zoom is the future!
