Looks a good match - thanks  Are they unusual? I have never seen them before. |

Chris - have a look at http://www.britis...rulea.html - this fairly recent site looks like a good source of information on British Hemiptera. Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Thanks Tony - I've bookmarked that for the future - nice site I had assumed it was herbivorous - didn't know it was predatory. |
