Species 48 - Liocoris tripustulatus

Not exactly the best photo ever, but the best I could manage of this bug species, if I get a better one I'll replace it. This was one of 4 species of hemiptera, the so called true bugs, I found today. Although this was the only one I could idenitfy, and only then after extensive internet searching. The guide books I have a very limited in this group. This species is reported to favour nettles, and yes that's a nettle it's sitting on.
