This gallery explores the diverse and often overlooked world of true bugs — a fascinating group of insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts and a wide range of shapes, colours, and behaviours. From brightly patterned shield bugs and agile leafhoppers, to the plant-feeding capsid bugs and bouncing froghoppers, these creatures are often found in gardens, meadows, and hedgerows across the UK. Whether camouflaged against foliage or boldly coloured, they offer unique textures and forms that shine under the macro lens.
