I get lots of these every year. They look...well, to me they look scary..but they are harmless. GOYers helped identify them for me last year.

Thanks paul, but if you look again you'll see that almost everything EXCEPT the beetle is in focus!

looks good to me Karen - my camera can't pick them up that well close - there's a little ant or something too in the pic :):)

Another insect identified, thank you. I like it when they are friendly:-)

I'm not good at zooming in on the insect shots, too much detail is scary!

Fascinating ... I've not heard of, or seen, these insects before ... I learn something new every week on GoY ... lol!

I had never encountered them before we moved here Shirley. I think they must come in from the farm fields.

So long as they stay your side of Hadrian's wall . . . .

And my big green scary things that look like stick insects that are determined to climb on me! After July I do very little in the way of weeding because of those 'Things', and they come in the house when the windows are open. I will get Ella to post a pic next one we see and I will remember not to look at it! Wish they would go to Hadrian's wall and stay there.
