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 offer Tachina grossa for the last one based on one of my pictures someone helpfully identified.

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.

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
