Well here goes...
1. Oak Eggar young larva.
2. Rosy Rustic
3. Square-spot Rustic (left) and Brown-spot Pinion
4. Slender Groundhopper Tetrix subulata
5. Nuctenea sclopetaria (excellent shot)
6. Brassica Bug Eurydema oleracea
7. Pass on the fly. Are you sure it's a hoverfly?

I'll second that ID. Britains largest resident tachinid. Host thought to be primarily the Oak Eggar (Lasiocampa quercus). They are brutes among flies.

Hi Mark,

As far as I know, thats a common garden Spider, they do get big-ish. I have seen tiny ones and much bigger ones before.
Cheers all,

Does anyone know about Bumblebee's I have a gallery of photos of them but have struggled to ID them

Any help appreciated and I am sure some of them are not bumblebees
