I think the top two are Encyrtidae. The bottom one maybe Trichogrammatidae?

LordV,

Don't be afraid, go on! You brought us wonderful pictures.

Thanks in advance for the next ones.

OTOH, I still don't understand why your car attracts them so much.

Thanks Pierre :)
Don't worry I'll continue to post pics :)
I don't think the car really attracts the bugs, it's just that they are much easier to see and take pics of :).
I do take pics of flies as well but assume that most of them are fairly common and uninteresting. You can see them here
