Have now been out and taken photos of my mystery insects - little
blighter wouldn't stay still!

Thanks for all the thoughts so far.

That's not a vine weevil!


Well that's good (I'd sort of sussed that after looking at it closely and
taking photos).

Question is what is it?

Do you get caterpillars in the soil - I've only seem them on plants

before?
Is it good or bad - do I squish or leave?

the Chrysalis of moths or butterflies are often found in the soil and the
caterpillar is simply the first step to becoming a moth or a buterfly
Dont squish it /////////plant Buddleas instead and watch the beauty flap

its wings later in the year
