looks like a cross between an Assassin bug and a Cricket - any ideas? It was alive but not doing much, quite small and shot in May in some low foilage in Richmond Pk, SW London. It was in a plantation area where they may have some imported plants.  |

It is the nymph of a true bug (Heteroptera). Perhaps Miridae?

you may be right but those rear legs make me wonder. Have you a link to a similar image on a reputable site? |

okay that confirms it thanks - doesn't look much like the adult Rhabdomiris striatellus does it! |
