It's been identified as a Carpet Bug by The Wildlife Trust. Apparantly the lava are called wooly bears and they eat you out of house and home carpets along with any soft furnashings. Good job we don't have any carpet in our bungalow. Luckily it was outside on the patio table.

Okay so nobody spotted my deliberate mistake (furnashings) which should be furnishings. Actually it's not my fault my keyboard is dyslexic.
