I sure hope that's not a 1:1 scale! >___>
It's very well drawn, but... I'll just stare at the pretty background for now :)

We have these bugs over here, though they're mostly green. :D

I love Shield Bugs though this one is just random colouring - they are mainly green or brown over here.
They are meant to be tasty to eat - eaten alive they squirt a hot tingling substance which is meant to be a bit like best chilli ever - have never tried that though....

I have a rule to never eat bugs, so I don't think I'll be trying them. XD
