Nice material for the fauna section of website if they get identified.

The first image is a wasp but you may already know that. I gave a look at the Fauna pictorial guide by Bonnet and could not associate any of the images.

Hoepfully waiting a bit you get some decent replies here

Thanks for posting

Hi Stephen

I have been through a very good website on insects http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/pictu ... .php/cat/2 (they also have one on moths and another on butterflies) and the only one I could identify was the first. It is listed as Arge pagana - Rose Sawfly. Hope someone will confirm this and help out with the others. Should you wish to add them to your fauna web page please let me know and I will email them to you.

Regards

Albert

Seems as if I am wrong. I have since found out that in Arge pagana both sexes have a yellow abdomen. Must be some other type of Arge I guess.

Thanks Pine, in the meantime I will keep on searching the web. Maybe I will strike it lucky.
