Hi All

I think the first one is Pseudovadonia livida but I could easily be wrong.

The second one, I have no idea. Gave it an hour but had to give up, I hate that!

Thanks

Gareth

Agree with 1 but no idea of the one on the Common Fleabane.

Thanks again aeshna5.

Can you narrow down the search a bit for the second one? Is it a Soldier Beetle or maybe False Blister?

Yours

Second is an Oedemera, I think a female O. nobilis.

Do you know something King Edward? If this picture was B&W I would say you are right, straight away. It would need to be a female (no thick-thighs). They are not uncommon in this area but the colour is so off. Do they 'age into' this sort of colour?

nobilis is correct, just variation
