Afternoon Dave,
I think the first may be from the Hydrophilidae family, but I don't think there is enough else to go on.
Take care, Jason  |

Pretty sure the beetle is Sphaeridium sp.

Yes, most likely Sphaeridium lunatum.  |

Isn't anyone brave enough to tackle the Mayfly then!
I have very limited knowledge of them but would suggest starting with Ephemera danica, assuming that there are 3 tails.
But that is just a starting suggestion - not a real ID. | | |
