| |  two beetles - w and soldierish
These two in with the Rocket and little gems, first extremely tiny, about half a cm, only noticed when washing the lettuce, so no sign of antennae etc, sorry (I did put it back!) it has a sort of W on the pronotum, and is slightly spotless ladybirdish........? 
2 Is an old favourite - rhagonica spp?
Cheers
Ken

Well, Ladybird and Rhagonycha guesses correct - I must be improving!
Seriously, thanks all for your help, again.
