Hi,
Thanks for the help so far.
Ive read my camera instructions now so have managed to get a closer image.
Seem to have a blackish head but no tail, greyish in colour, look yellowy in direct sunlight.
I've poped a few in a jar with some of the compost and couch grass roots, will see what happens.
Best in the dark or light?

Cheers
David

 

put them on a warm patio and they will stretch out

I still say leather jackets , when put on the pavement and they stretch out to find a safe place to hide.

Dark is best
