Hi Tim,

I don't think this is a beetle. Possibly a true bug or a nymph grasshopper or katydid.

Hi Alison. Thanks for this. I didn't know what it was so I put it down under 'beetles' rather than just 'insects.' Will do a bit more research on it. Tim

I tried to find a match under both suggested categories and failed, so good luck. Alison

This appears to be the same insect species I posted that had two ticks attached (Miridae (family) (Unidentified plant bug)).

By the way, another problem with the current new upload? When clicking on the species name, while confirmed, this sighting does not appear on the Species page.
