    I should add that the great people over on allotment.org.uk identified it first so all credit should go to them for the identification of this.

    The thread is here:

    Great site full of wonderful people always willing to lend a hand, a bit like here, check it out if you get time.

    Of course thank also to the lovely people over here for their input :)

    :D I once had a Southern Hawker dragonfly land on my sleeve. It made me jump when I looked down and saw it. It must have confused my green jacket for a tree.

    I had a big bumble bee do that to me, it made me scream then crawled off and died :(
  • I found one in my compost heap last week and wondered what it was, so thanks. Honeysuckle grows around the heap, so that may help to explain its presence.
