| | | Bug, Beetles and Wasp for ID
Can anyone help me out with IDs for some photos I've taken recently:
Bug approx 3mm long excluding wings or 3.8mm including wings   
Mating weevils
Female approx 3.2mm long
Male approx 2.9mm long 
Wasp between 10-15mm long 
Beetle, about 3mm long (excluding antennae), metallic blue/green shine on wing casings and copper/bronze shine on head. Eats Salix Caprea leaves. 
Thanks
Dave |

The third one is a Nomada bee.
Looks like Nomada goodeniana, but that's just a guess. |

Hi Dave, the beetle is Rose Chafer I suspect.
Cheers

Those antenna rule out the chafers. I still don't have a suggestion for the beetle though. |

I think the beetle is a ground beetle - a wee sort of Bembidion sp. type thing possibly.

The planthopper is Javesella pellucida, a very common grassland species and often macropterous |

The beetle looks like its a flea beetle...possible Crepidodera aurata or something similar. |
