Incredible photo! I love these wee bugs, they sit happily on my hand or wander about back and forth whenever I find one that has come inside with fresh flowers from the garden.

Thank yoy, Esme 🙂 Yes, I let them wander over my hands too, and they can appear not in the least bothered by me.

Sure is! And if that is not enough they release a very bad odour.

I used to love these little guys when I was a child, or a variety there of. They were like little leaf characters with legs 😊
