Sitting on the handle of the lawnmower, makes for a nice neutral BG.

Awesome

Very nice and crisp, and I like how the legs on the opposite side are faded like that, wonderful shot. You should mow more often.

Thanks all, your comments are all greatly appreciated!

Good shot m8 - a nettle weevil I think.

I thought Nettle Weevil too- the last one I photographed was Blue though

Great shot whatever it is

Thanks guys, I was leaning towards the Green Leaf Weevil - Phyllobius maculicornis mainly due to the fact that the Nettle Weevil lacks hairs according to ID guides I have read. In the shot below these are more visible even if it is a rubbish stack. Either way they are bloody hard to ID with such minute differences in anatomy.
