Spent a good 3 hours of my day off shooting bugs and being nice to children and dogs who wonder what this weird bloke is doing lying in the nettles.

this nymph was aphid sized but not as plump, not sure how I spotted it:

Some stunning shots RM, #1 looks like something from hotter climes and the eye detail on that moth is just amazing. I guess it was with the mpe-65?

Hiya RM,

Excellent series of shots, wonderful detail !

could #1 be a ' Meadow Plant Bug nymph ' Leptopterna dolabrata ??? as seen in this link all the markings look similar enough to pass for it maybe

Cheers for now

could well be - certainly a sp. of Plant Bug was my impression. Got to love the name of one of the Bugs on his galleries - Pygmy Backswimmer:
