The ones you won't mind them getting caught...

Male mozzie?

Big fat fly

The ones you would like them to get away scot-free...

Great pics. I love the baby mantis. I always try to save them when I see them caught by my sundews outside.

maybe bloodworm adults chironomid midges, based on green color rather than mosquitoes ... Not entirely sure would need to look at wing veination to be sure....
