| | | Larvae and a nymph for i.d.
These were taken in May.   
I think this may be a leafhopper nymph and was taken today. 
Can anyone i.d. them for me please? |

Is the cluster the same caterpillar as the single one on your hand..
The cluster on the nettles could be lackey moth but not sure as peacock lays eggs on nettles but the head is wrong and it could be too early for peacocks.. |

I am sure the ones in the nettles are not peacocks as I am familiar with them.
The next one is a different species and I was thinking beetle. Don't ask me why. |

Thank you for trying.
Think I have sorted out the one on nettles. I believe it is Small tortoiseshell. |

The single larva/caterpillar is a Sawfly. Count the legs? |
