Hello!

I was wandering round the garden looking for my favourite bugs when I spotted this one. it looked a bit strange to me so I had a closer look behind the leaf. I saw what I thought was a spider. This made me think the poor bug was being predated..

But it was wriggling quite a bit. Then I released it was going through a moulting stage. Wow! it's not some thing I've ever witnessed before. And a few minutes later, a bright green shield bug just wandered off and left the shell of a former life behind. (See extra)

Serendipity....
