The Canal-side Macros

Apart from the wonderful darter dragonfly (see "The Darter" upload) - my short walk down the to the canal and back found me getting a host of different insects/bugs. Some I'm not sure of what they are though.
A common field grasshopper:
A Syritta pipiens hoverfly, and also you can see a mason wasp in the background of the second one:
A Sawfly eating his lunch (a small hoverfly didn't survive this encounter):
A shield bug on a fence:
And 3 bugs in one - and I only know the middle one is a picture fly, the other two - I've no idea...

Think #4& 5 is a sawfly as is the upper bug in the last shot. Think the lower bug is a biting midge Ceratopogonidae.
