Another one of the Hemiptera – true bugs – but a small but delicately beautiful member of the Tingidae family commonly known as lace bugs. this one is called the Hawthorn Lacebug (Physatocheila dumetorum). A small bug at around 3 mm (1/8th inch) long.
Those delicately intricate patterns are lovely to see.

They are small and you can’t really see the intricate designs with the naked eye, so I was pleased I managed to get a reasonable close up to show them off π
