Cleaning up my camera SD card, need IDs for insects

[DaveGray]

Hi,

this seems really lazy but I will admit I'm hopeless at ID'ing, can anyone help with these;








I'm sure the first two are some sort of leaf hopper and I think the last one is Flower Beetles, but I'm guessing so tell me what they are if you can. I don't have a clue what the Bee ? is.

thanks,

Dave.

I think the flower (bonking bugs) are called Rhagonycha fluva beetles sorry cant help with the rest,
I thought you were trying to clean your card lol

They were going at it for quite a while, well he was, she just kept on moving over the flower & feeding. The second male eventually came up to try his luck and they just ignored him. Thanks Kayleigh, I've just had a quick search and it seems you could be right, they look like Soldier Beetles.

maybe Neophilaenus sps
Philaneus spumarius
These are usually Bombus pascorum but not sure its right for that. I'll leave it to the experts.

Correct! Just slightly faded.

First two are both Common Froghopper, Philaenus spumarius.

Thanks all for your replies, I'm always amazed at the knowledge that is shown on the forums here - clearly a lot of time spent in both the library and poking around in the shrubbery !
