Thanks, Brad
First semi-decent photos of these that I've taken.

 
Ron--
please do me a favor, flip this one (will be way easier to ID)

 
We aims to please, v.
Is this how you want it flipped? Also, I've added a photo, far right.

 
head up, pls --
sorry for the trouble, but it always helps having the insect 'upright'! and thnx for the add'l pic

 
No bother. Hey, you're helping me!
Ahhh, symbiosis. I've never heard about the always, but do it instinctively with moths and butterflies. Will keep that in mind. (Well, maybe not with flies, where posture means something, at least to me.)

 
thanks, Ron -- perfect!
i consider it a symbiosis, too: you help me feed my BG addiction, &c.
and i didn't mean flies/mayflies/psocopterand/lacewings/hoppers (each group has its pictorial academic traditions), but mostly beetles and heteropt's
