The images aren't showing, just the links and my initial reply vanished when I clicked on Post Quick Reply.

Re: Hoverflies/Spider and soldier beetles
The first hoverfly is one of the Sphaerophoria family but they require microscopic examination for a certain identification. The second one is a Syrphus and probably S. ribesii.
