Shieldbug predator
This "Bronze Shieldbug" (Troilus luridus) was present on the same posts in Mewslade valley as the Harlequin Ladybirds. It is a predator of small insects and may have been feeding or trying to feed on the Harlequin larvae present. Our native ladybirds might yet be saved. [photo by Paul Parsons]
