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.

Scarab - really? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that (all) scarabs
were dung beetles.
