Anyway, I found these two sunning themselves on Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood) last Wednesday. I enjoy finding them around October each year. Their colouring interests me.
These two may be the same species although there is a bit of a difference in antennal markings.
I think these Shield Bugs are probably Oncocoris sp. Hemiptera : Pentatomidae.

Excellent shots! Nice and clear.
You might want to shift the ranking up a little with Hemiptera as the Order and Pentatomidae as the family. You'll find the families end in 'dae' and the subfamilies end in 'nae'.
Thanks Mosura. You are correct. I was asleep at the wheel again! :-)
