Berries and bugs, Bangor
Image: © Rossographer Taken: 27 Aug 2008
Some bright red hawthorn berries ripening on the North Down Coastal Path near Smelt Mill Bay in Bangor. I hadn't noticed the green bug on the bottom right of this picture when I was taking it. Thanks to Keith Edkins http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/11413 for identifying it as a nymph (immature stage) of the Hawthorn shield-bug Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale and also for spotting a second hiding under a leaf in the bottom left of picture.
