My shots of the Nomada were not great but it appears to be Nomada Flava/panzer

This is I first thought was a sprintail due to colour and size then on viewing it the viewfinder I thought barkfly now a plant bug nymph possibly

I agree a great set but the ladybird the best.

That's a good, varied set Alf. The ladybird shot is great, very unusual. The hoverfly pleases my eye most.

Nice work Alf. Personal favourite are the bees, especially the 1st one.

Great set, like them all, but I really do like spider at home, something about it pleases me. Ladybird one is perfectly timed.

Love that wolfie shot, nice dark coloured one at that, nice finds Alf.
