    A Golden-bloomed Longhorn Beetle (Agapanthia villosoviridescens) was in my garden today, quite a striking little beastie!

    Mystery solved I believe, it appears to be the "white blotched" form of Common Groundhopper: http://www.wildguideuk.com/orthoptera/groundhoppers/common_groundhopper2_sm.htm

    Can anyone identify this 'hopper for me, which I nearly trod on in my garden today? I had a look online and found a couple of pics of Slender Groundhopper which seemed pretty close but I'm not convinced...

    Norfolk: other insects

    An interesting fly on the wall of my house this afternoon unfortunately disappeared when I went indoors to get my camera. I've tried to look for pics on the net but to no avail so thought I'd ask if anyone here can suggest an id. The fly was blue/green on the thorax and bright pink on the...
