Lunchtime bug hunt

Sorry - more critters I am afraid

Worked from home today and during my lunch break I wandered outside with the 100mm f/2.8 macro lens to see what I could find. The shots below are the pick of the bunch. I managed to capture some very unusual eyes. Images have been cropped and resized were required.

Not sure of the ID's, so feel free to offer up some suggestions. The last image shows the "colourful fly" at 100% crop.
