A few years ago an appeal went out for people to leave food and water out for hedgehogs which we did and continue to do. The result of our efforts has been many hours of entertainment watching these little creatures.

Western Conifer Seed Bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis)
This rather strange beast appeared in our bathroom, a scream from my wife saw me rushing up to her aid, to find the head and antenna peering over a tap more worried about its fate than a threat.
The insect first appeared in the UK in 2009 and quickly spread. Originally from America it was introduced into Europe in timber exports and spread out covering most of the continent in a few years.
It feeds on the seeds of the conifer and not considered to be too great a pest except in pine nurseries.
