About 4.5mm body length, too flighty to get a decent shot - it walks/runs quickly a takes off every two or three seconds. Never seen one in the garden before, and only ever seen one twice prior to this. However - it was on the stonechipping on the wall, not a plant - but you'll know how small the stones are in that pebbledash stuff, so an indication of it's actual size.

Not quite sharp - best I could do in the brief moment I had.
