It's a white marked tussock moth caterpillar! They have long hairs to protect them from predators.

Wow amazing teamwork, thank you!

Thanks! I think I found it with your tip. It is a carabidae but judging by the granulated elytra, I reckon it's C. granulatus.

It's a damselfly. Dragonflies rest with their wings spread out.
It's a cockchafer, also know as a may bug!

If you wanted an ID, It's an ornate shieldbug, Eurydema ornata! #InsectID

@Hopwitter @bbc_autumnwatch It's a plume moth, genus: amblyptilia. Not too sure on the species.

@holmes_leonard @Natures_Voice @ChrisGPackham I think it's an acorn weevil!
