Found a beetle highly irridescent mainly green, about 1/2" long and almost
same wide. Humped back like a ladybird. Slow moving. Would I be correct in
thinking this is a 'Jewel Bug'? no pictures, sorry.


Assuming you're in the SE of England, I'd guess the Rose Chafer, which is a
kind of scarab beetle.
