From earlier this month: a frit fly, probably a Thaumatomyia sp. (Diptera: Chloropidae). The following is another from back in spring time:

What I think is a Lauxaniid fly, possibly species Minettia fasciata (Diptera: Lauxaniidae). However, this thread at diptera.info suggests that M. fasciata is rather difficult to identify unambiguously, so it might be safer to follow Paul Beuk and just assign it to the Minettia fasciata group.
The pale abdomen of the above specimen suggests it is a female (compare with the male and female in this photo). The specimen below, which has a grey abdomen, is therefore probably a male.

A common darter dragonfly, Sympetrum striolatum (Odonata: Libellulidae). This species can be distinguished from the similar ruddy darter dragonfly (Sympetrum sanguineum) by the yellow stripe down the legs (the ruddy darter's legs are all black).
