Hi Guy's. The last thing I want is to be a pain. But if one of you knowledgeable members could have a look at the picture, it would enable me to sleep better because try as I might I just cannot identify this tiny Fly/Beetle which I find basking on the leaves of my apple mint and on the Sedum Telephium 'Orpine' which I have pictured for you. I apologise for the tiny shot, but It did not like me getting any nearer and would fly off if I got too close. Whatever it is I would dearly love to know. All or any help much appreciated. Regards Walt.
