who? what?

Can anyone tell me the name of this chap? Latin, common or vulgar, I don't mind.

He's a slow mover, which is always a bad sign in my book.

I have an awful lot of them this year and I 'd like to know what name to put into my midnight incantations to get them to move on, over or out.image

    I'll be interested to see if anyone knows what they are, because I have also seen them around.

    Ooh thank you!

    Bit of a mouthful when you have to recite it backwards while standing on one leg at the full moon.

    Does he consume prize roots, as I fear, do you think?

    Probably happiest munching away on old damp dead leaves, you only have to worry about your plants in dry conditions, where they will start on them to get moisture.
