Neliocarus nebulosus
I also ended up with another Anthobium type, though this one looks good for A. unicolor.
And a small Carabid proved to be Bradycellus verbasci - nice to see one out in the wild rather than piled up in the moth trap. I decided to have another go at carding, seeing as I had the specimens albeit they were all significantly smaller than the first lot I tried. I'd had a read on Mark Telfer's website and decided in for a pound ....
Slightly better attempts I reckon, aside from the badly snipped card (which I can re-snip a bit) and the keen-eyed will note a blob of glue on the Bradycellus that I hope I can remove - it doesn't look so obvious without flash. I've ordered some proper mounting boards and think with a few more goes I can get somewhere near presentable!
Also amongst the specimens was this ladybird.
Rhyzobius litura
The bugs proved to be Nabis ferus, more Drymus sylvaticus and Peritrechus
One that I can't ID at all so far is this moth caterpillar - proleg arrangements suggests Geometridae but no idea which, and it's not eating the grass I found it in so it's a catch-22 - need to rear to ID, can't rear without ID ....
