A Box Bug stands on an aucuba leaf. This is a relatively large reddish-brown squashbug, about 12mm long, with a narrow abdomen and very pointed lateral corners to the pronotum. It's a rich chestnut brown colour, heavily freckled with tiny black dots, and it has long orange legs and long reddish antennae. The overlapping membranous portions of its forewings are darker brown, shiny, and wrinkled.

A Rhombic Leatherbug (Syromastus rhombeus)...
A distinctive squashbug with a broad and distinctly diamond-shaped abdomen is sat in the garden. These insects like dry, sandy open spaces.

Weymouth: a quick check of 'Shieldbug corner' in the garden had me running for the camera. Elated to see a Brassica Shieldbug (Eurydema oleracea), a new species for me and the 19th species of Shieldbug/Squashbug for the garden.

My new little butane torch makes quick work of the #squashbug eggs. They pop with a very satisfying sound. #garden

How about a "Miser" version?

I'm Mx. Squashbug
I'm Giga Femme
I'm not one Harri pun,
I'm all of them
They call me sizemiser,
whatever I clutch
Turns to mulch in my guts
I'm too much!

I've never seen a giant that was taller than my knees
I'd much rather see them smaller and listen to their pleas!

Maybe he was referring to the "squashbug" hatchback design of your Chevette? (After my dad got rear ended in his '80 hatchback Civic, no one in my family drove a car with that design).
