Help identifying a bug
The other day I was out with my OH and noticed what I think was an ant crawling across a wall. It was quite big, a good couple of cms in length, quite chunky and had a red body with a grey/green bum (haha I say bum but I don't really know what that thing is called sorry!!)
I've been trying to find photos and I wish I'd taken one as I'm intrigued and never seen anything like this before. I am so sure it was an ant! Any help is great, I know it's not much to go on

Re: Help identifying a bug
Haha! No idea! I am so scared of all insectty thingies i won't even help you by looking online! They terrify me!
If i had seen that thing in my house i would have phoned my dad got him up and he would killed it then i would have slept to his house for a night or 2 (like i have doen in the past in my old house when i had some heebie jeebie visitors  )

Re: Help identifying a bug
It had a big bum... ok... lol
I think that could be a J-Lo Beetle Or if it had big pants on, a Feckinscarybug bridget jonesii Latin name of course. I think in insect terms that's called an abdomen *racks brains* hey I did get a grade B in O-Level Plant & Animal Biology, I'll have you know! lol Or you can try: What's That Bug? Insect identification or http://insectclopedia.com/ Yes there are people err...obsessed.. NO... dedicated enough to help you ID your umm nightmares oops no, creepy crawlies.
