Two Mystery Bugs, And a refraction :)

[Ran_photography]

I found this first one stuggling on the concrete by my pool. I think it had a lot of trouble just moving. I have NO idea what this could possibly be. Never seen anything like it. The second one was the smallest bug ive ever got in focus. Maybe about at long as my index fingernail is wide. Anyways, dont know what that one is either.

I think the first one is a Mole Cricket, have no idea about the second.

Lovely mole cricket :)- the small fly looks like a Chironimid midge.
