Random garden bugs

Just a selection of random bugs from the garden in the past few days. Been extremely cool and wet so not much been out other than some flies. Not sure if the first batch of them for the spring just hatched or what but have suddenly started seeing them in the past week.

They're rather out of focus but there were a couple winged aphids also on this stem that I'm guessing the ant was farming.
