Does anyone know who this little fellow is? He was very shy and trundled round the opposite side of the leaf to the camera when I moved. I think he may be from the aphid family  [/IMG] |

There's a lot of these around at the moment - I photographed one myself the other day! I think they are nymphs of some kind of plant bug, but beyond that, I can't really help ...  |

It's an early instar of Coreus marginatus. There are some pictures here. It's in French but is quite a useful site. |

This is a fascinating area where (you may have noticed, ) I don't get involved - but the early stages of most bugs (Heteroptera or Homoptera) look much the same. No one would confuse an aphid with a shield bug with a scale insect with a whitefly with a froghopper when they are mature but the earliest stages show all the similarities of their order .... Quote:
