Saw this last weekend in southern England - size about 8mm :)

Can anyone put a name to it?

Probably Zicrona coerulea.

Looks a good match - thanks :D

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.

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