Hi Catwoman

I mentioned it in a previous column A3825227, its great though that other people are aware of the little sods though. Let me know if you see any of them, I don't think I have yet.

I haven't seen any in the wild, luckily.

I think it's a really great idea that they're getting normal people to look for them - especially the kids because children actualy look around a lot more than we do.

I know what you mean, the kids call my husband 'nature boy', I don't have a nickname yet. They arn't used to adults like us who get dirty looking for insects and stuff. We don't have our own garden so we have to search in public!

On that website, they show quite a few varieties of the harlequin, I may print it out as I don't think I will remember them all.
