URRRGGHHHH! WHAT ARE THEY?
Sorry, haven't got a photo.
They look like beetles but their bodies are squidgy like caterpillars. Dark greeny/brown with small reddy/yellow spots on them. But they've got horrid little insecty black legs :P
Only about half a centimetre long.
PLEASE HELP!
P.S. I hadn't been drinking either!
Sound like ladybird larvae - take a look at this.

OOH Belinda! I think that's what they are ;D THANK YOU!
What's that old saying? Never judge a book by it's cover!
I will say good morning to them tomorrow and offer to share my ham sandwiches ;D
I think they're kind of cute in a strange way, really ugly but good guys - scale them up in size and they could be straight out of Jurassic park!

I could say the same about most of my 'human' allotment neighbours Belinda ;D
