Nice varied set of insects, #2 might be Graphomya maculata and you got the cranefly right. #3 and 4 look like flesh flies but can't see to be sure. I like the dragonflies best be can't help with an ID for them.

Nice shots - although some could do with a sharpen I think.

Looks like you got closer to crane fly than I would like to :eek:

Good shots, difficult to get dragonflies as they seem to be hunting a lot and not settling as I found out the other day, path would have been worn into a rut if had followed it backwards and forwards. As Ewan said a sharpen would have made all the difference but who am I to speak as need all the help I can get.

Nice shots, I really like the dragonfly shots and agree that they would benefit from a bit of sharpening.
