Day 49: Dock Bug (Coreus marginatus)

This tweet and photograph is actually from yesterday.  I don't feel too bad about it as the lower half of my left leg is in plaster from my Ankle Op yesterday.   I took a couple of "spare photographs" to tide me over. Should be able to get out to the garden later...

This dock bug is a squashbug :)

There were lots of them around and they seem quite social there are three on the blackberry below - they were much closer together until I pointed the camera at them :)
