This moth flew in through our open living room window one warm evening last summer. It is a treble brown spot moth, Idaea trigeminata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).

From our summer holiday last year: a green sawfly, probably of the Rhogogaster viridis group (Hymenoptera: Tenthrediinidae). The black markings on the thorax are less heavy than in the R. viridis that I have seen before (see here and here).

From back last spring: a Tenthredinid sawfly, probably a female Tenthredo maculata (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae).
I say it is probably a female because in male T. maculata the yellow abdominal band is much larger (see near the foot of this page at Alain Ramel's Les Insectes site).
