Creepy Crawlies

[durulz]

I had one of those days today. I woke up and thought, 'I'm not in the mood for it today.'
So I skived the day off work.
So what I did instead was go for a drive down to the RSPB Nature Reserve at Dungeness.
And I took my camera with me.
I don't have a particular good long-distance lens on my camera, so I knew bird pictures were out of it. So I decided to play with the macro and super-macro function instead and took pictures of bugs and insects. I've no idea what any of the following are (if anyone knows, I'd love to know).
Anyway, here's some of what I saw...

 

[Barn Owl]

4 Spotted Chaser for the D/fly I think.

the beetle is a soldier beetle

 

[Bushwhacker]

1. Yellow Dungfly
2. Soldier Beetle
3. 4 Spotted Chaser dragonfly
4. Knotgrass moth caterpillar

I think.

 

[British Red]

Top two are certainly correct - don't know my caterpillars though!

 

[Tadpole]

Third one is a Female four spotted chaser, I think.

 

[Staghound]

The soldier beetle looks like Cantharis rustica if you want to be picky.

 

[Nagual]

Wellll to me they look like:

1- flying bug
2- walking bug
3- flying bug, but nicer looking
4- crawling bug

 

[British Red]

Trouble is they aren't bugs - a member of the order Hemiptera

I thought they were lunch
