I think the spider is a female Wolf Spider with her brood (Pardosa amentata?)

Not sure about t'others.

Since no-one else has had a go I'll take a shot at your first fly being a dance fly, Empididae and the second fly looks like one of the Tephritidae, possibly Urophora jaceana

thanks guys. this weather is really bringing out some interesting invertebrates, allowing me to see what a diversity there is. if i wasn't wandering about finding them for photos i'd never think twice about them, but some are very interesting! amazing what you can see if you just stop and look for a while.

Very true, before I got a mcro lens I didn;t really take a second glance.

Now I seem to spend a lot of the time in the garden peering into the undergrowth
