I would say it is a Sloe Bug Dolycoris baccarums

I'd venture that its a member of the Mecoptera- maybe a Scorpion Fly although I think this particular one is native to the US.

Yea, I am 99% certain its a type of Scorpion Fly, haven't been able to narrow it down any further. Got lucky with the Sloe Bug- apparently it appears in parts of the Atlantic Coast so it showed up in my USA guide.

Thanks for the ID's Jeff, all these guys were shot within a square metre of each other, your back garden can be a good place to shoot!
