| | | Bug, Beetle, and Hymenopteran for ID
Any suggestions for IDs appreciated:
Bug
4.9mm on Salix Caprea bush, 24th June 
Beetle
About 20mm, flew into my bedroom in the evening, but then just stayed on the windowsill, didn't fly round the light.  
Hymenopteran
About 10mm, on flat leaf parsley  
Thanks

The click beetle looks quite good for Stenagostus rhombeus |

This beetle I got on the 20th, it flew inside when I came in after taking pics of moths in the early hours and sat on the light shade. I measured it, at least 19mm.
This one, Stenagostus rhombeus can get to 21mm. http://www.koleopterologie.de/galler...-rhombeus.html

The last one looks like one I photographed recently, the Large Rose Sawfly, Arge ochropus ... the other Large Rose Sawfly, Arge pagana, I'm reliably informed, has an all-black thorax and legs ... |

The hopper is a Macropsis species, either prasina or albae. Given it wasn't on Salix alba, the odds are in favour of prasina, but can't be sure. |
