Spotted this insect on one of my lavender plants this week. Can anyone identify please? Think I've asked this question in the past perhaps..

It looks like a Firebug [Pyrrhocoris apterus] but not certain as it isnt usually found this far north.
I will keep looking for a better match.

The cinnamon bug is a better match for the wing patterns.

Yes!!! Definitely looks like the cinnamon bug, Eileen! Thank you so much for your research! I'll read on a little more now πŸ‘

Another one of these bugs which are moving further north with climate change.

Seems so, Owdboggy..I did see it is pretty rare up here in Yorkshire.
