Lovely captures- looks like a capsid/mirid bug possibly Heterotoma sp. (only one I could find with antennae like that.

Hi Courierman, I haven't seen one of these before.
That's quite some antennae it's got, quite odd looking.
In that last shot it looks like it's a hunter of some kind,
check out that large spear like structure it has, like those Assassin bugs :huh
Thanks for sharing your find :thumb ..... Skippy

How many insects come here and go
In an English country garden?
We'll tell you now of some that we know
Those we miss you'll surely pardon
Fireflies, moths and bees
Spiders climbing in the trees
Butterflies drift in the gentle breeze
There are snakes, ants that sting
And other creeping things
In an English country garden
Sorry Courierman, couldnt resist. :D :D
Nice captures :D and I must say you really do seem to have a lot of different bugs around!
Never seen that particular one.
Glad to see you enjoying your lens!:thumb
