LOVELY capture of this small bug.

Hello Yves,
This is one species of insect that is always interesting to view due to the vast array of color variation from one country to another. Seems like every region of the globe has it's own distinct variety.
Sharply focused and displaying exceptional detail. I like it's unique markings, especially the red heart shaped pattern on the lower portion of it's back. Super job!!

Hello Yves
very good dorsal view of this schieldbug, interesting to see the bright red point onhis back, the details are very sharp, the BG makes a fine contrast
Have a good day

Hi Yves
I have seen many species of these shieldbugs in my country, but I don't know their names.
Excellent picture.
