A few insects

We start with this mining bee which I have had help to id and very excited to be told its very probably Andrena clarkella or Clarke's Mining Bee only the 30th record for Lincs and the first this year!


Another mining bee this time Tawny Mining Bee loaded with pollen going back into the nest


7-spot Ladybird

Eristalis pertinax - I think!

Green Shieldbug hiding in the nettles


Syrphus ribesii and 22-spot Ladybird


These I didn't take - they were taken in Kent by my brother and I again have had them identified as Grey-patched Mining Bee - Andrena nitida


Please advise if I have misidentified any
