Hi guys
Help required with an ID, please.
Spotted today, Glendurgan Gardens, Cornwall, on flowers of Erica verticillata.
Google lens gives me Dolycoris baccarum, but I am not 100% convinced. I know colours can vary, but this was what I would describe as metallic bronze with an orange ventral surface while on-line descriptions say"purple-brown and greenish".
The pics I got don't really show it's true colour, as it was determined not to have it's picture taken.



TIA
Fof

Looks a deadringer for Dolycoris baccarum to me.

Thanks aeshna.
I had my doubts because of the colour and my lack of trust in Google Lens

Gorse shieldbug was a new one for me.

I had a new garden shieldbug a couple of days ago - juniper (at least I hope it is!)

Found this one in a private garden in NW Cambs UK. The smallest Shieldbug I have seen.
The nearest I can find is Eysarcoris venustissimus (Woundwort Shieldbug).

Can some please take a look?

Yours, Gareth
