    if I am lucky Geoff will see this and know what it is cause I watched it walking

    If I was going to describe this beasty I would say she resembled a ball of wax that someone rolled around in a bowl of dead ants, twigs and various beasty body parts. I did see it walking so I know it is alive.

    Hi Brian,I watched a program the other week about an assassin bug,it eats ants then covers its body with the carcasses of its prey to enable it to enter their nest and eat away without being detected,I cannot tell looking at your image but it sounds as if this is what it might be!

    Cheers David
