No 2 looks like our village hoverfly, haven't seen him since April - wondered where he'd got to.

OZ ????

Depending on the length of number 3 it could be one of the following starting from the shortest.

3 to 4 mm Common Flower Bug.
4 to 6 mm Tarnished Plant Bug.
17mm Fly Bug.

I'd guess it is a Common Flower Bug.

I like the last 2, the first just feels like there is detail missing, possibly with reduction, but like how the light has been controlled on the last 2, hoverfly has some nice details
Pint o' rough & a game o' darts anyone

All very good detail. 3 looks like one of the Shield bugs to me as well.
