OK I'm going to need some help with this one - possibly some kind of Alderfly or Dobson but can anyone narrow it down for me?  The body is about 6cm with antennae and twin 'tails' on top of that, wings laid more flat down the length of its body rather than more triangular either side. Thick sturdy legs.

Stonefly. Aquatic larvae require clean water so good water quality indicator

Jersey Tiger Moth (Euplagia quadrripunctaria) 

 

Stretching its wings a little further afield.

 

This one at the base of a toilet door in north London.

Presume it’s a dinky wood wasp?
This one is about the length of a standard wasp but thinner.

looks like an Ichneumann a parasitic wasp...

So been in France - very warm (35+) - think that may explain a couple of these - and a huge boring beetle grub which I'll post tomorrow

[Anno]

Longhorn beetle could be Rutpela maculata  or similar, and a Mantis, nice...

Here's a fairly large grub found under the bark in an Oak trunk that's been down a year - I think I know what it is but would be happy to see if anyone agrees so suggestions please - loves Oak and leaves bloody big holes !
