My guess is a western conifer-seed #bug. If so, it's #Coreidae.
iPhone pic. I saw it sitting on a tarp.
They're mild-mannered, not inclined to bite.
When the wings are spread they have wasp-like markings and make a buzzing sound (which might be protective mimicry).

Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglussus occidentalis) on gravestone under Austrian Pine in Newington Cemetery, #Edinburgh, this afternoon. My 1st record of this non-native bug originally from North America. #Hemiptera #Coreidae #CemeteryWildlifeWatch recording activity on #iRecord.
Eine erwachsene Amerikanische Kiefernwanze von oben fotografiert auf einem verfärbten Herbstblatt. Der Körper zeigt die typische braun-orangene Färbung mit weißlichen Markierungen. Die langen, gegliederten Beine sind weit ausgestreckt, und die Fühler ragen deutlich nach vorne. Die Flügeldecken weisen ein charakteristisches Muster auf.
Draufsicht auf den Körper einer Amerikanischen Kiefernwanze, die die detaillierte Struktur der Flügeldecken zeigt. Die Färbung variiert von dunklem Rotbraun über Orange bis zu gelblichen Tönen. Die deutlich sichtbaren Adern in den Flügeln, die feine Behaarung und die charakteristischen schwarzen Flecken auf dem Körper sind gut erkennbar.
Nahaufnahme eines Beins der Amerikanischen Kiefernwanze auf einem trockenen Blatt. Das Bein zeigt deutlich die charakteristische Färbung mit braunen und silbergrauen Bereichen sowie die feinen Härchen entlang der Oberfläche. Die gezackten Kanten und die detaillierte Struktur des Insektenbeins sind gut sichtbar.
Detailansicht eines Hinterbeins der Amerikanischen Kiefernwanze mit ausgeprägten stachelartigen Auswüchsen. Das Bein weist eine silbrig-graue Behaarung auf und zeigt die typischen schwarzen Dornen an der Unterseite. Die Textur des vertrockneten Blattes im Hintergrund bildet einen natürlichen Kontrast.
Die Amerikanische Kiefernwanze (Leptoglossus occidentalis) ist mit ihrer Länge von ca. 2 cm recht auffällig. Hier seht ihr ein paar Details der interessanten Art, die erst seit 20 Jahren in D vorkommt.

Not part of my main series, but found this to be a good stationary subject. So I could try longer exposures for more detail. Still shot on my vivitar Series 1 70-210 f/3.5 from the 70s adapted to a canon ef mount.

Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis)
From last night’s moth traps, and an interesting bycatch, which also apparently comes to light, a Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis) a possible cross channel migrant, although again apparently established in the UK.

Dorsal view of a reddish brown and tan bug sits on a white background. It has medium length antennae, shiny black wing tips, and pale stripes on the sides of its abdomen. The hind legs are very hefty, with a thick femur and somewhat curved tibia, each with a few spikes underneath.

We have hatchlings! 8 tiny baby Box Bugs (Gonocerus acuteangulatus) have hatched out of their little golden eggs on our Rosa rugosa and are now hanging around looking cute! One egg is still to hatch, they change to a reddish bronze just before hatching. #Heteroptera #Coreidae #bugsky
Saw quite a few eggs of Gonocerus acuteangulatus (Box Bug) yesterday in Oxford, plus an adult, on Rosa rugosa #Heteroptera #Coreidae #BoxBug
Would this be a Coriomeris denticulatus, Denticulate Leatherbug? Seen in the garden of a friend in #Warwickshire 18/05/25 @britishbugs.bsky.social @rockwolf74.bsky.social @bugmanjones.bsky.social #truebug #Coreidae
Extremely close-up macrophotograph of a member of the Coreidae family, also known as a leaf-footed bug or squash bug. The image is sharply focused on the insect’s head and thorax, revealing intricate details of its texture and structure. The coloration is a mottled combination of reddish-brown and gray tones, with small black speckles scattered across the exoskeleton. The surface appears rough and grainy, with tiny bristle-like hairs visible along the edges of the head and thorax. The compound eye is golden brown and faceted, positioned prominently on the side of the head. Extending forward from beneath the head, the long, needle-like piercing-sucking mouthpart (rostrum) is clearly visible and held slightly apart from the body, offering a clear view of its separation and orientation. This rostrum is used to puncture plant tissues and feed on sap, a key characteristic of Hemipterans. Antennae are long, segmented, and covered in fine hairs, extending out of frame. A dark pin pierces the specimen for mounting, indicating this is a preserved sample, likely for entomological study or display. The background is a smooth, dark gradient that enhances contrast and emphasizes fine surface details of the insect.
A closer look at a #Coreidae showing its piercing mouthparts nicely separated. A great view of the rostrum used for feeding.
I've been testing an easy and portable Z stacking solution to replace my microscope at work.

A large elongate brown bug with pale zigzag markings on the wings, with long antennae, and widened hind tibia on a wet fabric tray.
It’s always nice to find Leptoglossus occidentalis (Western Conifer Seed Bug), seen today in a rather damp SE Shropshire #Heteroptera #Coreidae
Gonocerus acuteangulatus, Box Bug! 19/03/25, my #Staffs garden @britishbugs.bsky.social @rockwolf74.bsky.social #Hemiptera #Coreidae
Side view of an orange and green bug with enlarged paddle- or flag-like orange extensions of the tibia on the long hindlegs with reddish and dark splotches. The bug’s head is orange with long segmented antennae and a jointed orange proboscis extended to surface of leaf on which it rests. The hemelytra are marked with brilliant green with a bumpy iridescent appearance.

Side view of an orange and green stiped bug with enlarged paddle- or flag-like dark blue and orange spotted extensions of the tibia on the long hindlegs. The bug’s head is orange and green striped with long segmented antennae and a jointed iridescent green proboscis extended to surface of leaf on which it rests.
Rear view of an orange and green stiped bug with enlarged paddle- or flag-like dark blue and orange spotted extensions of the tibia on the long hindlegs. The bug’s head bears orange and green stripes that extend into the thorax. From this perspective, the with long segmented antennae are mostly iridescent blue.

First insect of the year is the beautiful Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis). Seen strolling around the Lithops that are on a south-facing windowsill for the winter.
