A few from the garden

No2, shield bug I think, excellent.
 
The hoverfly is a female Eupeodes luniger. You can see that the yellow markings on the abdomen don't quite reach the edge so that there is a black bead along the margein and you can just about make out the "Y" shaped mark on the frons. The other fly is a Sarcophaga - a "flesh fly". It is quite a large genus, but there are five large, common species and it will probably be one of those (most readily distinduished using the male genitalia).

Not my area of expertise, but I think the top shieldbug is Common Green, Palomena prasina. Lots of these in my garden at the moment.
