    Sorry for the poor photo, but can anyone tell me what this is?

    I don't remember having seen anything like it before.

    Was moving a bit too fast to be plastic !!!!

    Thanks for the link, very informative.

    I have never seen one of these before but they appear to be quite common.

    Wow, that is a scary little fella: you wouldn't want to find one in your armpit first thing in the morning and try to describe it to your GP!!

    I don't think I would like to find one on me anywhere, any time of the day or night.
