Description: I found this pale green insect on the kitchen table having dismantled my xmas wreath of holly and ivy so assume it came out of that. It was suggested it might be a cockroach of some sort.It has 6 serrated legs, 2 antenae flat wings folded down and is quite quiet - it doesn't seem to want to run away.
