More bugs from the macro world that surrounds us

I have been asked where I get the macro subjects.  The answer is that most of them are right in my yard and similar bugs probably frequent your yards too.

Juvenile horsefly - taken in poor light with flash at about 7pm and then it started to drizzle / was misty.  Vapour droplet on the eye - most fortunate.  This insect was about 10mm long (maybe slightly smaller) - head to end of tail.  Note that it is a fly and not a wasp.

Green lacewing - macro of the head area plus a full body shot.  Size about 6mm long head to end of tail - with wings a little longer.

 

Small cricket hunter wasp - Chlorion maxillosum.  Size about 10mm head to end of tail.  Included is a photo showing the white segments on its antennae in more detail.

 

White crab spider on arum lily.

Some kind of bug - I took the photograph in a makeshift macro lightbox with a pink/mauve background.  Really do not like the pink/mauve background, but the bugs colours are pleasing enough.  Too lazy to look up the identification (I am on holiday).  Any ideas?

Bark bug - not sure what to say here - it has 6 legs and attractive pulpy tomato coloured eyes.  These bugs and stink bugs often extend the proboscis downwards and blow a bubble of water/liquid which is then suspended held on the end of the proboscis.  I missed an opportunity (blurred the photo) a while back of this process.  Will however try to photograph the bubble blowing again, when I find the right thirsty old bug.

Fiery moth.  Macro of eye / head area and the moth on the grass.  This moth mimics a dead leaf.  I was not able to identify the moth from my reference books.  Any ideas?
