Can any one identify what this might be when it grows up?

could be a number of things.

It was in amongst the mixed lettuce leaves. No evidence of any munching, it was just settled in there behind a kind of web. We found another one in the leaves picked last night. What really struck me is how vivid the green part is. I tried gurgling images of green and white larvae but didn't come up with anything that looked at all like it.Comment

Yes, I think the web was possibly the start of a cocoon. I couldn't get a closer picture as my phone doesn't focus at close quarters. It was approx 2.5cm (1 inch) long, if that's any help?Comment

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
