    The first one is an Ashy Mining Bee (Andrena cineraria). Getting a bit late for them now but I still found several around today.

    #2 is a sawfly of the Tenthredo family; maybe T. mesomelas.

    #3 Harlequin Ladybird

    #4 & #5 are a longhorn beetle named Rutpela maculata. I saw my first one of the year today.
