Thanks John The second photo is a wasp, maybe ichneumon - but I wouldn't attempt to go further as I'm guessing you're not in the UK.

I'm tending towards the new Olympus OM-5 now - it's basically an upgrade of the the EM5 Mk iii, and £200 more, but has improved image stabilisation, an upgraded image processor, pro-capture, more custom settings (not that I tend to use them as the best settings can vary from plant to plant, and what I happen to spot)... I need all the IS I can get, and pro-capture can be useful when taking photos of bugs that are likely to have flitted by the time you've pressed the shutter. It's not released in the UK yet, and of course when it does come out the Mk iii is likely to drop significantly in price, but my aim is to never feel the need to upgrade again... (I wonder how many photographers have told themselves that, and gone on to buy a shedload of equipment!).
