What is this insect that looks like a blob of blue tack ?
Question:found a small insect (bug) in the house (in uk) which looked like a piece of blue tack !!
about 10mm long with short dark brown legs and head which just seem to grow out of the body at one end. legs and head are only 1-2 mm long.
don't suggest that it was a piece of blue tack on the back of an insect because it wasn't.
any ideas what it is ?

Are you sure it was blue and not green only I have seen a green one it was on a plant in my garden. Are you colourblind?
Could be a tick. Pets can bring them into the house. If they are feeding they are usually stuck fast to the skin and methelated spirits should make them loose their grip. But I would flush it down the loo, before it gets hungry.
