Hi Nigel,
The moth is Common Heath (Ematurga atomaria)

The second is probably a leaf hopper of some kind, but I don't know. Beetle may be Red-headed Cardinal beetle:

hi nigel,
the frog hopper is cercopis vulnerata and the beetle looks like what dave suggested and is one of the cardinal beetles pyrochroa serraticornis.
gary.
