Now to identify the visitor to the pupa : ) There were 2, a little spider is living close by as well. Must be the 'in' place to be

WelI hope I've got all these spottings correctly entered Martinl. Thank you for your help in the initial ident. I have spotted the Common Lime Butterfly in the garden before so hopfully should have a few more in the future with all this activity : )

There seems to be an insect (fly or bug) on the pupa in the first image.
