Hello all - a bug for you to help me with this time - one of the mirid bugs maybe? I found a page of bugs somewhere but couldn't see this one.

Hia Jez!

I believe this is a female Harpocera thoracica, but I only know this because I posted this same bug up for identification yesterday!

Mirid bug ID

The sexes are dimorphic, the males look rather different!

Thanks, Anzu! I put the name into Google and came up with the British Bugs site, which looks brilliant if you're trying to identify these sorts of bugs!
