And this is a garden tiger (arctia caja).
It was sitting in the grass and I almost treaded on it.
First I thought it was dead. But when I carefully put my finger underneath it was hanging onto it.
When I tried to put it on a leaf it flew away and I was happy.
Years ago I posted this baby photo

This poor Red Admiral looks like he was on the wrong of the Battle of Trafalgar with its wings shot to pieces (photoed in Norfolk, Nelson's County).
Note the other individuals struggling for the thistle bloom
Edit: Thanks to AlanF, I could identify this butterfly green-veined white (pieris napi)

It looks to me it could be a Cryptic Wood White and it has some similarity to a Green Veined.This time that one really should be a large cabbage white, shouldn't it?

A couple from today close up with the 100-500mm, a Wood White and Common Blue, and a Common Field Grasshopper.
You are right. A friend of mine and I checked it and it is indeed a green-veined white (pieris napi).
Thank you very much for helping me.
A male musk beetle (aromia moschata), even though I couldn't recognize any of its typical musky smell. It was about 4 cm long, the antennae about 6 cm.

A ringlet (aphantopus hyperantus). One German common name "Schornsteinfeger" = chimney sweeper.
I was closer than the MFD of the 100-400L II which I recognized later at home. That's why the head is oof.
Nevertheless I like the pic.

Still very happy with the R5:
