Great set of images Graham, good composition, lovely colours, and nice detail with the exception of #3. This one is a nice shot but looks a little soft to me.

Like the Hairstreak the most. No idea on 3 ( which I too think is a bit oof/soft)- but I think the top is a Common Blue. No expert but I think the border says it should be.

#3/5 are little oof and soft as such.

the rest focus looks good ... I guess you were excited in finding these but do consider your composition
