Dolycoris baccarum Sloe Bug
Family: Pentatomidae
A large and distinctive purple-brown and greenish shieldbug which is covered with long hairs. The antennae and connexivum are banded black and white. During the winter, the ground colour becomes uniformly dull brown.
This bug overwinters as an adult, emerging in the spring. Larvae, which are also hairy, may be found on numerous plants besides blackthorn (sloe), particularly those in the Roasaceae. The new generation is complete from August onwards.
Common and widepsread in many habitats throughout Britain, particularly hedgerows and woodland edges, becoming scarcer in the north.
Adult: All year
Length 11-12 mm

Hello Jan
Nice photograph of this bug. Interesting POV. This point f view made more difficult to take sharp image, but you've managed well and DOF is very good.
Good, natural colours.
Thanks for showing
Ania
