Hi Graham as Andy states 2474 Straw Dot Rivula sericealis

The Plant is Musk mallow Malva moschata

The Red Ant Myrmica sp could be one of several options and needs a detailed examination

The Laybird is a 7 Spot Coccinella septempunctata,

An interesting lot of finds and good work on the ant macros ( these are about 5-7 mm tops
