November Bugs and flora

There seems to be an influx (3 in the last few weeks) of Western Conifer Seedbug
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_conifer_seed_bug
The western conifer seed bug, Leptoglossus occidentalis, sometimes abbreviated
as WCSB, is a species of true bug (Heteroptera) in the family Coreidae. It was
originally native to the warm-temperate western USA (California, Oregon and
Nevada) but has in recent times expanded its range and become an invasive
species in parts of Europe.
 
Field Pansy is abundant in local stubble fields
