This is almost certainly a "Slime mould beetle" of family Sphindidae. But I can't enter the name, as the algorithm won't accept it, apparently assuming that I mean Sphingidae (which it obviously is not).

@WendyEM I've uploaded a photo from today - pic 5. I don't think it's D. clytysalis. It eats the whole thickness of the leaf rather than skeletonising and each pod only holds 1 cat.

I dont think it is Carcinus maenus as that crab does not have back legs with paddles which the photo seems to show.
It might be a mud crab which is the right colouring but they have 9 spines either side of the head.

Carcinus maenas
