Hi!

There are my first insect-macro photos (small res for forum purposes).. Would love to know the ID's of first two insects. The third is probably aphid.

Best Regards,
Robert

1. About 2-3 mm long,

2. The size of normal ladybug

3. Aphid (i think it is, am I right?)

Hi Robert
Welcome, #1 looks like a Lacewing, #2 Is a Ladybird and you are right with #3 it is an Aphid.
Nice composition on these photos but I would concentrate on keeping the eyes in focus as it is the main focal point on most insects.
Welcome again and have fun

#1 is not a lacewing, but a winged aphid.

You are correct Wuwujohn
I was checking out the Id to confirm, It is a winged Aphid
