Description
Coreus marginatus
Family: Coreidae
A large and mottled reddish-brown squashbug with a broad, oval abdomen. The two small projections between the antennae are diagnostic.
There is one generation per year, adults mating and laying eggs in spring. The nymphs feed on dock and other related plants in the Polygonaceae; new adults may be found from August onwards. Common and widespread in southern Britain, including Ireland, where it may be found in a variety of dry and damp habitats.

Marvelous macro shot, the details are amazing.

Great capture
An absolutely wonderful Duck Bug-shot :-D
I expected an image showing they were done and smoking cigarettes but this is just WOW! Every detail is crystal clear. The best bug porn I've ever seen.
You see far more than I even imagine is out there! I'm quite satisfied to spot a chipmunk or a goldfinch!
great shot
Wonderful bug.
Seriously, your macro shots are so amazing.
