I've been watching St Aldhelms regularly this Spring. One of the corners on the patch that I check has proved to be a great new site for Shieldbugs on sunny days. On this visit, I ended up seeing four species, with a big appearance of Sloe Bugs and a single Green Shieldbug: both new for the year at St Aldhelms. There were also some of the Boat Bugs and Brassica Bugs that I've already seen on a few occasions at this site this Spring.
