Hi Maura, do you have a photo or 2?

I did lodge a photo! I can send it again if you can't find it, just let me know.

Thanks Michael. I have now uploaded the image successfully but have fouled up the location map which I usually do manually as my camera (canon) does not have an automatic GPS facility on it. How do I correct the satellite image location?! Sorry to make such a mess of this.

Michael, I have had another go and have now managed to correct the location as well. The learning curve is falling over this morning!

Thanks Maura, it looks like an immature mantis.
