Some DSLR photos for comparison, taken with a 15 year old camera and edited on a 20 year old computer. Still beats a modern flagship phone camera.

1)Drepanepteryx phalaenoides
Also called 'dead leaf' for obvious reasons. A small neuropteran about 1.5cm. Plays dead when disturbed. I only see one or two specimens come indoor attracted to the light at night each year, but every year. The larvae are the nightmarish ant-lions. I have their funnel-traps in a dry spot in the garden.

2)Plebejus idas mating. Female left, male right. These small blue butterflies are common in dry meadows. There are several almost indistinguishable species. 2-3cm wingspan.

3) Caterpillar of Polygonia c-album, feeding on a stinging nettle. About 3cm in length

4) Some iridescent green Chrysomelinae beetle. I can't identify it, maybe Chrysolina graminis. About 1cm in size.
