| | | Two winged insects for ID please
There were lots of these today on my walk today - the pictures are of two seperate individuals but I think they must be the same thing.  
and then there is this one 
It's the only snap I have - it flew off  |

They actually have 4 wings but they just hide the hind wings - they are caddis flies  |

when I said two winged insects I was referring to the number of insects not their wings 
are all 3 pictures in that case the same creature?

I had this one last year, so did a lot of searching for it and others I had. Look at Micropterna sequax and it's synonyms.. Other Insects
The second one looks different, not enough showing really.

I had mine down as Micropterna lateralis, not sure if they are different species, funet.fi shows them to be. Micropterna |
