Gatekeepers, hover fly, flesh fly, wasp spiders and unknown ?wasp?

A group of CCC members went for a bug hunt on Lark Rise Farm nature reserve.  Some of us were keen to see the wasp spiders which had been seen and photographed by Ann Miles'  Ann didn't ley us down. Notice the distinctive ladder in the web. In the meantime we saw hover flies species unknown to me), numerous Gatekeeper butterflies varying from the pristine to the very tatty! Also the Boris Bumble (second picture) and a very patient bee nectaring on the brambles, a flesh fly which I have often seen, but never photographed.  Finally a wasp (I think) on a dandelion.
