I don't know what this type of green metallic beetle is at my house and I want to know what its called and its habitat and all that stuff.
I live in Britain so its not one of those beetles that live in America or Mexico.
I find a lot of them on docking leaves.
Any ideas?? ;)

A Picture would be helpful or even an approximate size.

Cryptocephalus beetle... is shiny and green but may be larger than what you are asking about, but pretty common.

But look this one up in Google images

These are Japanese Beetles.

Those are my first two guesses, more information would be helpful in narrowing it down.
