Great images Alf, particular fav is No2 what a pose and extremely well capture considering how active they can be on grass like this.

1st hoverfly and 1st ant are the best IMO

Not an easy subject due to a bit of a breeze too but they are all heavy crops as I have been shooting with a telephoto set up not macro but also natural light

Nice, the bee does look like Ivy bees (hopefully they will one day reach you in the lake district) so could be a Colletes in my inexpert opinion
