Nymphs And German Shepherds, Come Away*

We had lovely rain all morning. Mish and I went hunting for droplet bugs. We found this pair of mid-instar nymphs of the southern green shield bug on a spent Spanish daisy bloom. This species has recently arrived from Africa and unlike our common green shieldbugs, they can be pests in crops. Like me they're fond of runner beans. 

Mish likes going out in the rain as she loves being towelled down afterwards.

*I loved singing Nymphs and Shepherds at school.
