This insect is not so commonly found. I took this picture on May 17th, 2004, apparantly during the mating season.

hi Frank..wellcome to TE..
I think this is a nice picture..you caught a rare animal on beautiful plants..but it is a little crowded and especially the stem at the left distracts attention too much for me..I tried a ws trying to bring out the insect more...I hope you like it..

1st welcome to TE
Well Ive been unable to find a common name for these shield bugs but they are ( Graphosoma italicum )I do like your picture very much ,the greens and reds against the black BGare very nice and it is good and sharp.
The WS works really well.
