    Lovely captures- looks like a capsid/mirid bug possibly Heterotoma sp. (only one I could find with antennae like that.

    Hi Courierman, I haven't seen one of these before.
    That's quite some antennae it's got, quite odd looking.

    In that last shot it looks like it's a hunter of some kind,
    check out that large spear like structure it has, like those Assassin bugs eek7.gif

    Thanks for sharing your find thumb.gif ..... Skippy

    How many insects come here and go
    In an English country garden?
    We'll tell you now of some that we know
    Those we miss you'll surely pardon
    Fireflies, moths and bees
    Spiders climbing in the trees
    Butterflies drift in the gentle breeze
    There are snakes, ants that sting
    And other creeping things
    In an English country garden

    Sorry Courierman, couldnt resist. :D:D

    Nice captures :D and I must say you really do seem to have a lot of different bugs around!
    Never seen that particular one.

    Glad to see you enjoying your lens!thumb.gif
