Nice set however, your Robberfly is a Bee and your common blue butterfly is a Holly blue butterfly

No 1 looks very much like this - not mine, but I have a photo of this on a memory card waiting processing.

Thanks Dave that looks pretty spot on to me
The only slight concern is that none seem to have the same wing patterns, these all have marginal dark markings where "mine" has dark markings across the wings.

I am not 100% on this but maybe it`s a Picture winged fly - Ulidiidae sp

Thanks Graham, some of the Google images fit the profile,
The one thing I do know for certain though, in the short time since I started doing Macro, there is a whole new world out there to be explored

There's even a species somewhere between arachnids and insects ( 7 legs )
