Yes, there appears to be a long list of them.

Looking back through photos. I found this with a very long oviposter.

A further image.

Yes, it does look more like one of those - I can't tell which. And their habitats and habits (parasitic rather than eating types of spiders we don't have around the house) makes more sense.

Thanks Adam,

I now don't think it's Episyron rufipes either.

We''ll get there.

I meant 10-12mm of course - nearly 1/2 an inch

In our conservatory - Hertfordshire UK yesterday. 10-12cm

Could anyone ID this bug from Borneo please.

Have now posted again.

On our front door all day yesterday.

Believed to be meconema thalassinum (Oak Bush-Cricket) female, about 20mm (double including antennae). But any thoughts please?

Small by world standards, but we don't have very large insects here.

Beautiful bright green green. Hope it made it's way back to ...

Thanks both,

That's definitely it;: Those zig-zag markings are surely singular.

We have lots of conifers of different types.

Those guides say that they seek indoor shelter to overwinter, and my 2nd photo (on blue) shows it crawling around the outside of our summerhouse (glorified shed ...

Adam,

Thanks for your response, and the correction.

Regards,

Eddie

Here we go again. Have re-posted the snaps with green ticks against each. Both are just under 500KB.

By the way, I believe it is a member of Hemiptera.

macroglossum stellatarum, vanessa atalanta, celastrina argiolos, acanthosoma haemorrhoidale, pyrochroa coccinea

on

equisetum japonicum, malus domestica, crataegus monogyna, Ilex aquifolium, hedera

Apologies - I'm working on the Latin

Hello,

My name is Eddie and I live in the UK, in Hertfordshire, which ia in the sourh of England.

I'm just an amateur interested in wildlife. We very rarely see anything even mildly exotic, the last I remember was a hummingbird hawk moth that visited our pond years ago.

We have fruit trees ...
