Hello,
I saw two or three of these guys on my glass this morning....Im hoping that they are the harmless 'pod hunting type, but I want to be sure. Sorry that the photos aren't the best, but at the maximum these guys are about 3mm in length.




Thanks !!
Steve

the white or clear ones are harmless, it's the red or brown ones you don't want

Thanks for the info - quite honest if they are harmless I don't mind them - unless I start to see a population explosion.
