All nice but I hope that sawfly is not a gooseberry sawfly - they can destroy gooseberry bushes.

The woodlouse is my favourite, a nice set of photos. The barkflies are hard to discern.

David thanks but I have not seen sawfly larva on it this year

Thanks Mike the barkflies are trying to hide after all.

Good set Alf. I like #2, #4, #6 and #7 best, and #7 most of all.

Could the highlights come down slightly in #6?

Like them all but the woodlouse is excellent so difficult to get a good shot of one of those
