New Species - Tree Damsel Bug (Himacerus apterus)
This id is down to Obsidentify which is an impressive app for insects. I was on my laptop in the lounge when an insect appeared attracted by the light of the screen. I managed a very rough photo which I then put in front of Obsidentify which immediately identifed it. I then checked against other online images and it is spot on. Lives in trees feeding on aphids and mites so I suspect it came in with logs brought in for the fire.
