Two more pics from earlier in the year. These are true bugs, Hemiptera, and belong to the group known as shield bugs or stink bugs.
The one at the top was in a hedge opposite my house. The specimen shown below came to the moth trap at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve. As the name suggests, they inhabit hawthorn bushes, and I have seen them on the hawthorns in my garden. They seem to be quite common.
