Hi

I think this may be the bug responsible for eating my oriental brassica mix?
What is it? and how do i get rid of it?
I have been covering my leaves with fleece but think this little blighter may be under the soil?

From the photo - it just looks like a ground beetle - can you give idea of size. If it is a ground beetle it is a friend!

... and its larvae eat the slugs which are probably what's eating your oriental brassicas.
