Meadow plant bug (Leptopterna dolobrata)

These are one of the most common, most colourful, and biggest of the plant bugs we get in this region. Often seen in numbers on Timothy grass. Used to be called Miris dolobratus. I think this is the female because of the very short wings.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/1000s f/2.8 at 5.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
