Wow! Seen a lot of "stink bugs" in my time but never one that had this kind of coloration. What kind of plant is it on? Great shot!

The plant is sort of "Wild carrot" or "Queen Anne's lace" or Daucus carota.Ken Ramos wrote:Wow! Seen a lot of "stink bugs" in my time but never one that had this kind of coloration. What kind of plant is it on? Great shot!
Oh, okay. I kind of thought that looked like a wild carrot but I wasn't sure. The spiny things threw me off for a second. Thanks Nikola.

It seems that all the good looking insects go to Croatia for the summer...these look like tropical insects . The Queen Anne's lace around here is at about the same stage as yours Nikola. Very beautiful photo & insect
