Mystery insect bugging experts at London museum
In this undated image made available by Natural History Museum, showing the tiny red-and-black bug which is thought to be a new species of insect, and that has appeared inside London's Natural History Museum gardens, according to information made available Monday July 14, 2008. The almond-shaped insect, about the size of a grain of rice seems to thrive on plane trees at the grounds of the 19th-century museum, but this insect is not the same as any of the 28 million insects currently classified by the museum, "I don't expect to find a new species in the gardens of a museum," said Max Barclay, Collections Manager at the Natural History Museum.( AP Photo/Natural History Museum)
