It's a Shield Bug (Order - Hemiptera).
Not sure of the species as I'm not at home, where my books are, but it's a common one, and should be easily identified ~
At a guess - Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale the Hawthorn Shield Bug.

I get a fair few of those on me when I move the boat, mostly plain green or brown though, I think they drop off the trees as I brush past.

One of them hitched a ride inside my Tshirt the other day. I felt something walking on me and immediately assumed the worst. Al Qaeda ninja bug, so i squished him from the outside.

That'd be a Forensic Entomologist...
Basically they determine the age of a corpse from the development of the maggots
