| | | Mixed bag for ID please
I had a great day in Bradgate Country Park in Leicester, but for all that I could identify, there were lots that I need some help with. 
1) A green beetle that could run faster than me, hence the bad photo 
2) A small gatekeeper like butterfly 
3) Ruddy Darter ? 
4) Carabid ? 
5) Big black dung beetle with electric blue legs 
6) Biggest grasshopper I have even seen
I will give credit on my blog once I have IDs, Thanks The fascinated wanderer |

1. Green Tiger beetle - Cicindella campestris
2. Small Heath - Coenonympha pamphilus
3. Common Darter - Sympetrum striolatum (I think!)
Not at all sure on the others.  |

The grasshopper looks like a female Common Green Grasshopper - Omocestus viridulus,

Yes 4) is a carabid - I suspect some species of Pterostichus (e.g. melanarius) but it's a tricky angle | | |
