Description: | One common enquiry to museums in Spring and Autumn is from people who have seen a large green triangular insect. This is the Hawthorn Shieldbug, which is the most common British shield-shaped insect. The adults feed on Hawthorn berries before finding a sheltered place to spend the Winter. They become active in Spring, and lay eggs. The young ones grow gradually through the Summer.
