This blog is called The Carrigaline Crusty as I began it while living in a town in Cork, Ireland called... Carrigaline. I wanted to show how you can grow and forage your own food in a town. Well now I live more rural, near the coast in East Cork. I'm still doing the same things but I have a bigger garden and taller ambitions. I hope you find the posts interesting and useful.
Dolycoris baccarum or Hairy Shield Bug or Sloe Bug
This shield bug has a distinct purple colour in the summer, which fades to brown for the winter. I took this photo mid September. These are common bugs but it was my first time noticing one. It is framed beautifully by my sunflower.
