| | | Bumble bee, Fly, and Sawfly for ID Can anyone help me with IDs for the following:
Sawfly on a buttercup
Reasonably large fly, maybe about 20mm 
Bumble bee
Whiter hairs near bottom of thorax, lost a bit of hair on top of the thorax. Lots of these bees were feeding on clover. 
And lastly, a couple of weeks ago I noticed a lot of bubbles in a shallow part of our garden pond. Are these likely just air bubbles? I can't see anything inside them in real life or in my photo.
Cheers

not sure if the fly is a muscid or anthomyiid on the features visible, but a Calypterate expert might just know it on 'jizz',
