| | | Various unidentified insects from Priory Water
I am virtually useless when it comes to Identifying most insects as I really don't know them so I hope there are a few experts out there that can help me identify the following.
Unidentified Lacewing? 
Unidentified Sawfly? 
I think these are all fly's (except possibly this first one).

Hi
The last one is a hoverfly, as well.

Evening John,
Can't recall having seen you in here before! Anyway, I'll look up the Lacewing if I get time - not sure it's photo-do'able. The third is some bee, could be a female Mining-bee species, though I'd prefer another view to rule out others.
Take care,
Jason |

Hi Jason
You probably haven't seen me in here before as I have no knowledge of these type of insects so only rarely would I photograph one.
Due to the cold & blowy weather conditions this weekend I found myself photographing almost anything that moved.

The sawfly looks like a Tenthredo sp ? Rhogogaster?
I've just tried using the key on the lacewing, but can't get anywhere with it...perhaps others can see detail that i can't.

Thanks Chris
I'm pretty sure that one of the group at Priory Water yesterday (Wild Woman) suggested this species but I had forgotten the name by the time I had got back home.
