Hi,
I wish Ihad used the flash for this, it was in partial shadow and quite small, maybe 5-6mm long but I can't be sure. I hope someone can tell me what it is :) Janet

Thank you Kahis! :) Would it be safe to say it is
Calliopum simillimum or are there similar species?

I found there are two which are similar, the other C. aeneum and both are most common here. I have another shot from the top/front which may help.
