User's notes
These small insects were very active and wary of the camera. Typically they disappeared into the mass of flowers as soon as they became aware of the camera.

There are 2 spp. here. Images 1, 3 and 5 are Lygaeidae, while images 2 and 4 are Miridae. I don't know the species (or even the genus) in either case.
