Creature spot

It is Friday and leading up to the bank holiday I have spied two creatures: the first was a Peacock butterfly (my first sighting of one of these this year) ... which was sipping nectar out of a Buddlhea flower but for a few brief seconds before it flew off over the roof tops. The second was a green Shield bug ... these are one of my most favourite little bugs. It flew into the kitchen and I had to place my finger in front of it so that it could climb on board and be helped back outside into its natural habitat. I first tried to help it onto a Nasturtium leaf which it would not go near and climbed half up my arm to escape this choice. Then I tried helping it onto a Lady's Mantle plant but it obviously didn't like the velvety leaves and again began a walking race up my arm. Finally, it settled onto a Fuchsia leaf ... I took pictures of the Shield bug but sadly not one was in focus ...
