Hello Aviar, there are not many predatory shield bugs and this is one of them. I'm very certain it is Picromerus bidens and it's a fat one! I've seen them eating caterpillars before and I have some shots although not as nice as this.

Lovley composition and details, very well done.

Not so sure that it's a wonderful moment for the victim! I think the bug is Picromerus bidens (I don't know any common name for it). A nice shot of one of nature's small battles.
Thanks, Nigel.

Brillante capture Aivar!

L'éclairage est excellent et la netteté très bonne.L'action meurtrière de l'insecte est aussi surprenant.Bravo pour les belle couleurs et la composition.

Merci.
