This was a slightly odd thing too. I noticed a tiny speck, just a few millimetres long, on the outside warehouse wall, but because I didn’t have my glasses with me, I couldn’t see if it was a creature, a drifting speck of fluff, or part of some dead insect. So I took a photo on deep macro zoom, but then decided it was probably a piece of bird’s dropping or something. As it happened, when I eventually got round to checking my photo, it was a creature after all.
I can’t really see whether this insect is still alive or whether it is an empty skin or dead, in fact I can’t even work out what it is. Some kind of aphid perhaps? I also found a little tortrix moth in the conservatory at home over the holidays, but it was too dark to take a photo. We’ll see if it hangs around.
