My love affair with these bugs continues, mainly because they appear so often and they’re straightforward to identify. Not that I know which capsid bug this is.

It’s always good to resist attributing human traits to animals but this micro moth does look a little bit angry. Obviously I don’t know what species it is!

This is a capsid bug, but I’m not sure whether it’s a common green capsid bug or a potato capsid bug. At first I thought it might be a shield bug but the head is completely different. Whichever one it is, it was on a privet bush in the garden, not doing very much.
