Nope I was walking the golf course at Reay unless we've got turbo charged insects up here don't think they could have been in both places at the same time!

I always thought they were just a green ladybird. We had loads today too.

Little wee green beetles are probably Aphids...Ladybirds love 'em...yum! Bloody pests otherwise!:)
