Several Insects to ID

[Rgregory]

All were taken in a Local Nature Reserve (Foxglove) at Catterick Garrison. I reccomend this reserve for Insects as there is lots to see and acres of space!

1. Cantharis pellucida
2. Sialis sp 6 very similar UK species possibly Sialis lutaria
3.Ichneumonidae. Sub-family Ichneumoninae possibly Barichneumon sp,
4.Ichneumonidae Carnt see enough detail, possibly Ichneumoninae as well.

Nice pictures

I'd say No2 is an Alder Fly (Sialis lutaria) too

Is No4 an assassin fly - Empis tesselata? - Maybe not ............

[Rgregory]

Thanks, I actually have 3 more I forgot to put on Any Ideas?

2. Leuctra sp possibly Leuctra fusca a species of stonefly.
3. I cant quite say from the photo its from a funny angle possibly a species of Elateridae maybe Athous haemorrhoidalis although looks alittle pale

[oxycera]

Of the first set, 3 & 4 are both sawflies. 3 probably a Tenthredo sp. 4 may be some kind of nematine but I would need time to check them out.

[poschiavanus]

I'd second oxycera on images 3 & 4 (1st set).

Of second set, #1 is a dolichopodid fly; looks rather small, could be a Chrysotus although my first thought was Argyra.

lol that just shows my knowledge i give up.

Could number 3 of the first batch be Tenthreda livida male
