....and yet another stranger to me!  Little bugs about woodlouse size but fluorescent colouring. I have a feeling They should be removed to next door via the flight path over the fence. (empty house)  :angel11:
Please can anyone help identify them? I can post a photo next time I find one if necessary, but I hope someone will know by my description.

you may be a king or a little street sweeper but sooner or later you dance with de reaper.

No HD, it's smooth and the same shape and size as a wood lice. It's colours are very  iridescent , blues and greens. Very pretty.

No again Pauline. They look like an iridescent bead when they first catch your eye. I will have a bit more time tomorrow and will try to take a pic.

These are they! On a sage leaf, I gave it a prod to see if it would fly but it didn't, it played dead and fell off. No more than 1/2 cm long.

Many of these are round bodied and iridescent. See if one matches. http://www.coleoptera.org.uk/species-gallery/nojs/4667

Ha! It could very well be the Chrisolina Fatuosa (?) Thanks Gordonmull. :toothy10:
