    Two excellent photos. My preference goes to the green bug.

    Those beetles have undergone several name changes and are currently known as Swollen-thighed Beetles although only the males have enlarged hind legs. Never easy to photograph because they are so reflective.

    The ladybird is a Harlequin.
