Default identification
I need some assistance in identifying an insect which i found in abundance inside the stomach of a brown trout whilst fishing the dee on monday evening.
The best way to describe it would be a diamond type shape quite short with orange legs,it looked to be some sort of beetle,anyone got any ideas
cheers para7.

Sounds like a forest bug(pentatoma rufipes) which is a member of the shield bug family.
