Actually there's something wrong with this one. Descriptions, sizes and reports don't match up even from the most reputable sites. I have a feeling there's 2 and some are being misidentified... ?

Thanks Debbie. These days, when I get down to look at something else is when I see them. Should wear my glasses I guess. :)

Thanks Lauren. They were so small I didn't realise I was squashing them.
