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! :D

The plant is sort of "Wild carrot" or "Queen Anne's lace" or Daucus carota. :D

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. :D

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