If you've got any idea what it is, I'd love to know. Can't find anything in my book. They were on the clothes drying on the line. Less than 1/4" in length.

    Hi Gary, I have no idea what that first little guy is.
    Quite an odd shape, the back half looks like a weevil headscratch.gif

    Funnily enough it looks like a ball of poo with legs rolleyes1.gif
