Here is the mite-covered beetle...
And here are the caterpillars, in the order in which we found them...
1.
2.
3.
I remember when I was photographing number 3 that I thought it was the same as number 1 but it doesn't look like it is. I've searched the "Egg, Larve and Caterpillars"
Gallery for the three species mentioned and the only one in there is the green-veined white which I don't think I photographed. From Googling I think number 2 is the dot moth but I'm not sure about the others.
Here is the vapourer moth caterpillar that joined us for lunch...
And here are some more unidentified larvae...
Probably a species of sawfly.
No idea!
Here's a couple of hoverflies that are quite easy to identify...
Episyrphus balteatus - there's a lot of 'em about!
Rhingia campestris - can't mistake that snout!
Finally, the little snail that Mike spotted while photographing some bracket fungi is the plaited door snail...
