    They're the ones I go hunting for before I go to bed, although this one wouldn't be a problem, being non-biting.

    Excellent photo, Louise!

    Are you sure it's non-biting? I'd not have been too happy sharing a room with it all night!

    As soon as I snap anything I catch it (I have some containers by each of the windows specially), and set it free, I don't like to think of them stuck inside starving. I even chuck insects out of buses... I'm an old softie
