It's an Emerald Damselfly (Male)
Nice shot too Joe

(Nationally scarce) I think it could be a Drilus flavescens larvae, pretty rare so I have just read and it is the UK's only Drilus species. They are snail hunting beetles, worth a google to read about.
I would go for Metylophorus nebulosus. Super photo by the way. Best place to check is the http://www.brc.ac.uk site.I think this is Mesopsocus-immunis what do you think?

Anyone tell me what this is. It was murder to shoot due to the wind.
What is this please? About 2 1/2 inches long and rears up in a threatening way!

Elephant Hawk moth caterpillar I believe.
OMG! Just had a flash back to when me and my brother found one of these on the patio in the back garden. It reared up in exactly the same way. Scared the s**t out of us (we were only little).What is this please? About 2 1/2 inches long and rears up in a threatening way!
Hi Guys, i am new to the forum and have also just discovered the amazing world of Macro photography. I was photographing a different spider when i spotted this red and white ball, very tiny, in my grass cuttings bin i thought it was a baby spider until i moved into focus and was amazed to be watching it helping and pulling babies out of the sack. I considered myself very lucky to be watching it.
Can anyone tell me what type of spider it is.

Excellent Dave, thank you very much. Brown Argus is a new one for me, so very pleased with that, need to try and find time to study the differences now
