Very good. No. 2 stands out for me. No. 3 just loses out because of what looks like bright, reflected flash on the front of the head.

Any idea what the bug is?

Thanks, chaps for the encouraging remarks.
Yes, Steve. I think that's what the brightness on its"forehead" must be, in spite of the 2 layers of tracing paper that usually suffice in the diffusion dept.! I must have just caught that area at the wrong angle....

And no, except, possibly, a parasitic wasp?

All offers of an id appreciated!
