I'd appreciate some ID on #1 and #5 please.

Still struggling to get to grips with macro flash. I know very little about flash in general, must do some homework!

A nice set #5 is very interesting I saw one of these today eating some sort of Aphid, I think it may be a Ladybird Lava, but I could be wrong!

Super series Laurence, I think Adam could well be right with the Ladybird Lava.

Thanks people, is #1 a hoverfly with different colours because of flash?
