The yellow margins and
partially reddish-brown antennae of the shieldbug Acrosternum
heegeri
are useful identification features for this species. This bug is absent from
the UK and the photographs were taken at two sites on the South of France. It
feeds on a variety of plants and the mouthparts may be seen clearly in the
first two photographs. The remaining images are of one of these insects that
had been attracted to a light.
