Wolf Spider

Spider for id by scilly puffin, on Flickr

Wolf Spider (Lycosidae) - these are the ones that will carry around all their spiderlings on their back. Well worth looking out for!

Excellent, thanks Tim.

Suspect you are right with Click beetle but can't seem to nail down genera now.... can't find an image either that matches mine (colour and patterning)

 

[Brachytron]

Saw plenty of these grubs, some eating and some pupating. No idea what they are. Any help IDing them gratefully received.

ID: Bloody-nosed Beetle larvae

 

[ChrisA]

The above is a Bloody-nosed Beetle Lavae

Not much good on flys - any idea what this is ?

 

[ChrisA]

And while you're at it this one ? Renocera pallida ?

 

[Brachytron]

That's great, thanks Chris.

 

[Tezz450D]

Cantharis rustica possibly? The black spot on C.fusca touches the front edge of the pronotum.

@Lez325 Is that not a 4 spot?

Might be gender diversity.

Female Mayfly, not sure on the exact species, but hopefully that's enough to get the search going

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Cloeon dipterum interesting family of insects. Males have a couple of eyes like mushrooms on top of their head.

Chris, They can give you a nip due to the large fangs but other then that pretty harmless.
