The first one of the red beetle was accidentally posted elsewhere but I wanted to include it in this one (sorry).

The second shot shows two that I've never seen before. Very small - I at first thought it was dead vegetation until I looked real close. Cool, I thought.

Yeah that second image is an odd looking insect. I can't say I have seen them before either.

Hey, maybe it's a new species! Hmmm, I shall name it Loupeymacro Extensiatubeia

Second shot is plume moths - at least we call them that over here :).
Characteristic T shape and spurs on their legs.

Thanks, guys for the ID. A moth? Never would have thought to be in that group. Anyway its name is forever drilled in my brain.

Oh, btw those two also with my Swiss Army Knife setup.
