A new shieldbug for me - a tortoise shieldbug Eurygaster testudinaria I think

A new jumping spider for me on the long and winding road

Brian,

Nice set.

Good news and bad news about your shield-bug.

The bad news first it is not E. testudunaria.

The good news: it is the Scarce Tortoise Shield-bug Eurygaster maura, found mostlyon chalk grassland, also on dunes. Very local and only in the south.

Distinguishing features: second antennal segment twice as long as the third and no central depression on the head. In my book, it has the additional white dorsal markings.

Wonderful tree peony. I have 9 trees of my own, but own no white tree peonies. Thanks for sharing.
