| | | What is this green bug?
This is a picture of a very active fly/bug that I saw earlier today - there were loads of them darting about.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before.  |

I'll second that. I see plenty along the Pwllheli coastline. Nice pic.

Woohoo,this is the same beetle that I saw (ok not this especial beetle  ) but my garden is not sandy or heathland, unless it hitched a ride from up in the Mendips

Yes, green tiger beetle, a ferocious predator with a fascinating larva that is also quite a bug nibbler. I only see them on the Moors (N Yorks) but they always give a bit of a thrill when you see one. |
