I am not entirely sure whether the top two photos show Dock Leaf Beetles (
Gastrophysa viridula). I think they do, but thanks to Stuart's photo and commentary
here, I feel relatively certain about the ID of the Beetle in photos 3 and 4.
You can read more about these beetles in the
Cabinet of Curiosities blog belonging to Phil Gates, a
Guardian Country Diarist ...
here.
those are beautiful beetles, Caroline!
