He/she's about half inch long, and has 1...2...3.. ah   8 legs in total, little diddy bobber antler thingies,  he's orange in colour with a black tummy .....oh and has  wings too

Thanks Karen xx

Heres the chappie,

I'm hoping the answer is, 'he's a real asset to your greenhouse Karen, he'll help double your crop!'

without seeing his back it's difficult to tell but I think it could be a soldier beetle. If it's got wings it can only have 6 legs not 8!
