| |  bug and hoverfly help!
These two are from the garden today - grateful for ID please .
The bug is very tiny,about half cm length, on pea leaves, while the (presumed!) hoverfly is quite large, on brassica - Narcissus fly?.
Cheers
Ken

And the bug is Apolygus spinolae - hardly a giant, but most bugs are rather smaller than that!  |

Thanks a lot Acutip... - I tentatively had it down as a possible common green capsid, Lygocoris pabulinus. They seem so similar at first look!
Cheers
