That is so cool! What a great find; it is so hard to spot.

Strange little creatures, we had a tiny black one here yesterday. I spent some time trying to catch him to put him in the garden but gave up in the end! (On second thoughts it was probably a she!)

An excellent capture, but if it jumps, I'd steer clear of it! V.
