just spotted this little guy crawling along very slowly, i don't think it's a bedbug it does'nt look fat enough? it was slightly green on it's underside but would'nt stay on his back long enough for me to get a shot, and it's made me all itchy! i was out shooting flowers earlier so maybe it came from there?

Bringing back the subject: I just had a word with my ex-histologist insecty dad and he's pretty sure its a baby ear-wig :confused: You might be right but i thought i'd have my say :)
 
Earwigs do have the pincers at the back end deffinitly even young earwigs but pincers are very small when young.

Cool lokking bug by the way would be intresting to know exactly what it was but hope I dont find any in my bed lol ;)

Deffinitly looks like some kind of larve
 
As no one else has said it!...

Its not a Lacewing Larvae!... ITS A BABY CAMMEL SPIDER!!!... RUN SAVE YOU LIFE!!!... FORGET THE FAMILY SAVE YOURSELF!!.. :D

Failing that Whack it with a slipper and forget it ever existed!
