They are all around us!

Trying to identify some insects and bugs is a nightmare, the many forms and colours are confusing, for me at least, so I will leave it to the experts but it is amazing what is all around us if you take a look.
I was waiting for 20 minutes today in a quiet lane for a courier to turn up so I started rooting about in the undergrowth (as you do) and saw this little chap.
After a bit of research I am going to give a best guess that it is from the family 'Miridae' and is Grypocoris stysi.  
Whatever it is, it seems that 'Mirid Bugs' are the largest family of bugs in the UK, I imagine most of them have passed me by!  Just shows, I need to open my eyes!
