I think the two 'just holding hands' are Donacia sp. and the 3rd one is Cryptocephalus bipunctatus

Afternoon Colin,
The first also looks like Plateumaris sericea, and the second is indeed as Jason said - isn't it also an Nb-species? I agree with Iain's ID on the third.
All are from the Chrysomelidae family.
Take care, Jason

I agree with Jason - does look more like Plateumaris sericea than the thing I said (which helps me out a bit as well - thanks). The hind femur looks fairly conclusive.
Hmmm... having looked a bit more seems these things can be quite tricky to split...

Good finds, Colin, especially the Clytra and Cryptocephalus. Where did you find these? It would be worth sending these records to your local recorder. How many C. bipunctatus did you see?

They were both photographed at Gait Barrows NNR. 1 bipunctatus and 2 clytra.
