Seriously though, don't try Googling on red beetle or red bug - unless 
you like vintage VWs.
Coleoptera -

or was that Colen- optera ? ;-)

works better if you've got years to look at all the species. European 
garden bugs was closer to the mark - Anyway I finally found the little 
buggers -
Firebugs - Pyrrhocoris apterus (in the so-called nymph form)
cheers
Douglas
Thanks for the ideas of what it may have been both on and off-list.
