Hello Denis, What a little cracker that is. I'm pretty sure it is a Hawthorn Shield Bug. Apparently it also shares the name 'stinkbug' with many other shield bugs due to it exuding a pungent fluid when alarmed! So I hope you didn't get a whiff :)
So sorry to have missed commenting on the previous post, I honestly thought I had but I seem to do that a lot :( All of your lovely little dogs looked beautiful after their session at the beauty parlour :) Missy looked particularly elegant and Cass looked like she was smiling for the camera.
