    The first one looks like a well worn Green Hairstreak butterfly.

    The second one is a moth and is called a Green Carpet.

    I was really surprised to see this Damselfly in the front garden yesterday.

    How far would they venture from water?

    Single stripe on side of thorax makes this a Common Blue Damselfly, a female. They take a week or more to mature and only then will they seek water. Females tend only to visit water when laying.

    Thyme has already answered it as a Common Emerald which I agree with

    The shape and the pale border does not match Large Emerald.

    Here is one... after the 'catch'.

    Anybody interested in hoverflies, there is a great group on Facebook "UK Hoverflies" where you can post photographs for identification.
