I found what I think is a shield bug in my garden in the Scottish Highlands during august. Could someone identify for me please. It was on aster plants.

Hello, Jane!
It's a Pentatomidae nymph. Could be
Holcostethus
, but that is just a guess.

Hi Jeurgen,
Thanks for confirming Pentatomidae nymph. I wish I knew which one for definite. This is a species I have not seen before.
Best Wishes
Jane

Looks like Piezodorus Lituratus
