Bugs

[Splitpin]

Did a spot of weeding this morning, and I saw these......

First off, the Giant green shield thing (Palomena prasina)


And then I came across this......the greater bejeweled Patagonian fleebedoo, evidently very dangerous if ingested.

Stinkbugs, all!
DO they have redeeming features??

Charl, "DO they have redeeming features??" not that I can find, other than interesting to watch.
The little one is actually "The Southern green stink bug (Nezara viridula) is one of the most important pentatomid pest species. It is believed to have originated in Ethiopia but is now distributed throughout almost all tropical and sub-tropical areas, and it continues to spread also in temperate areas where it is mainly found in greenhouses.
