Some of those look common (but probably are of course some different variant).

I wonder if some of those are insects I or other regular people have encountered in the garden already and just called them "beetle", "earwig" or "moth", not knowing that they were never classified yet.


Well sure, that seems pretty straightforward. What are the odds of a species in a country as well-explored as england having never been seen? Unless I'm missing something?
