And because the internet loves a jumping spider doing the manga kawaii thing, here's the woodland species, Evarcha falcata (🇩🇪 Bunter Sichelspringer) 🥹

Wish I'd had more time to do this iridescent dung fly justice, but it flew off before I could get my tripod set up 🤷♂️
The wing spots mark it as genus Sepsis, which often need microscopic inspection to ID definitively.
The yellow & purple colours lean towards S punctum, but S fulgens is also possible.

Beim #Rausgeschafft heute haben wir ganz viele Bucheckern gefunden! :BlobhajTinyHeart:
Die waren aber ziemlich weit oben... Bis Bruce mit einem kräftigen Schwung der Schwanzflosse in den Baum gehüpft ist! :BlobhajShock:
... und mit einem #MakroFoto-Modell wieder zurück kam :Blobhaj:

Bloody Yanks, coming over here, sucking our sap ... 🙄
This is a rhododendron leafhopper (Graphocephala fennahi; 🇩🇪 Rhododendron-Zikade).
Native to the eastern US, it arrived on plants in the UK in the 30s & Europe in the 70s.
Ironically, it lives in fear of the harlequin ladybird, another invader.

Finally, an oddity.
By all accounts, this looks very like a rufous grasshopper (Gomphocerippus rufus; 🇩🇪 Rote Keulenschrecke) & probably is.
And yet one of the key markers of G rufus is that it has prominent white tips at the end of its clubbed antennae.
So is this actually something else? 🧐

Third, a small & very active leafhopper nymph sprinting around on the ivy.
Given the presence of just a few black spots, I'm guessing it's a bay leafhopper (Synophropsis lauri) rather than genus Fieberiella, the other common leafhopper here. The nymph of the latter has lots of smaller black spots.

Second, a wood cockroach (genus Ectobius) seen from a slightly unusual perspective – usually they're seen scuttling across the ground & photographed from above.
As for the species, always hard to tell – probably E vittiventris based on a fuzzy overhead shot, but maybe E pallidus or E lapponicus.

A few evening smash & grabs, meaning fairly poor pictures taken quickly and/or from a distance 🤷♂️
First is a female yellow-haired sun fly (Myathropa florea). The distinctive thorax markings give it its 🇩🇪 name, Totenkopfschwebfliege, although I also like the English alternative, Batman hoverfly 🦇🙂
