Thanks JH2o, I have just had a whizz through that second link which is very good because it gives a map of where they have been found. I am thinking that Birch Shieldbug has some similarities but not exact by any means. I have book marked both links which are very good.

Some are hunters and some are plant suckers. I don't know how one can tell what they are except by behavior.
