Stuck for the name of a bug or weird insect????

Unlike Christine and Melody, I am fairly clueless what each creepy crawlie is, so I have found this good website that has pictures!!!! and has loads of info on plants, birds, insects , animals in Britain

Just go to the relevant sections A-Z guide ]

I thought seeing as I am on a bug finding mission at the moment, it was rude to just snap away without knowing what it's name was

Oh yeah here's the website

That's where I go when my books or google searching comes up with nothing, there are one or two other sites I also use, but on that one I'm registered as briar rose I guess I've been sussed

Sorry, but you do know an awful lot about creepy crawlies, wherever you get your info fromwithout you and Melody I wouldn't have a clue xxx

I found a weird bug today, I was gardening so didn't take a pic,had dirty hands.
It was another one of those Shield bugs, but a different one this time, I mean colour,that is how I discovered this website searching for insects.

It is good and is now in my faves, so next pic , hopefully I can say what it is

I love Shield Bugs, they are so cute a little while ago I took a pic of wasp type thing in my garden, and he was so lovely, I didn't know what it was, but posted it on the forum for ID, and found out it parasitises Moth Caterpillars so I went of him rapidly
