Where's Bill and Ben they would keep the bugs away
Don't know if you realise it chap, but you're spot on
This. Rosemary beetle [emoji16]
That looks like it, for sure.
OP - Wiki recommends removing them before using the host plant for “culinary purposes”. So that’s helpful.

Harmless to you and not likely to do any lasting damage to your sage.

I saw something similar last night, however it was 6 foot tall and carrying a baseball bat, it was attacking everyone in its path, really quite scary !
I should have listened to the bloke at work who warned me there was a nasty bug going around !
