Thanks for that Mr Grief!
I have to admit that my knowledge of insects is almost nil other than wasps,bees , mosquitoes,dragonflies,bluebottles,butterflies,mot hs, green/white/blackfly,flea beetle, lily beetle, vine weevils,cockroaches,maybugs,stick insects and praying mantis. Can't think of many others which instantly jump to mind...oh oh...fleas and lice
Today I was looking up this little chap doing their stuff on my mint...

Google Image Result for http://popgen.unimaas.nl/~jlindsey/commanster/Insects/Beetles/SpBeetles/Gastrophysa.viridula3.jpg

...pretty eh? ( but not for long methinks!)

Good idea to find out more about our wildlife!
