| | | Re: More things to ID The leaf beetles should be fairly straightforward. The rove beetle (Staphylionidae) (2) is probably a Philonthus sp but there are quite a few of these. I probably wouldn't be able to say with under the microscope and shan't venture any further on a photo.
The click beetle (Elateridae) (6) gives no indication of size. I think it's an Agriotes sp, quite possibly A. obscurus. I'll give a better look later - unless someone else comes up with definite answers sooner! |

| | | Re: More things to ID This is as far as I can get  These are my guesses
1, a bug possibly a capsid
2, a rove beetle
3, a weevil possibly a nut weevil Curculio sp.?
4, leaf beetle? Oulema sp? (big guess that one!)
5, a an other leaf beetle
6, click beetle
7, looks a bit like a smaller soldier beetle but I have no idea really
8, a an other leaf beetle
9, possibly a leaf-hopper
10, a bug |
