A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I looked up images of green shield bugs at various stages of development and none match the bug I saw. But I do think you might be right about it being some kind of True Bug and also about it being a nymph.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that!
When my daughter saved a severely injured pigeon several years ago, many people we knew didn't get it -- they couldn't see pigeons as "real" wildlife. You might be interested in the story of its rescue: http://www.nrdc.org/thisgreenlife/0904.a...
There's a glitch with the location. It's actually Sleepy Hollow, NY, but every time I enter it, the program converts it to Stamford, NY.
