Horrible shot of a fantastic beetle, there are only a couple it could be, and neither are ones I have so there you go, posted.

This is a beetle larva, we have had these a few years, but I've yet to see an adult.

I know this is a bad shot, there are some out there that are brilliant but it was great fun watching this guy eat ants and hard work to catch him at it!!

I had no idea what these were, they are so tiny, 1-3mm but there were loads in the grass heads. I was pleased to learn they are Ladybird Larva.
