1+2 Are from the Scymnini tribe. Most of their larva are small and wooly and feed on soft coccids. I would agree with what pudding is saying with these.
3. Syrphid larva doesnt look like its pupating though? Looks like Syrphus sp, likely S.ribesii.
4. Syrphid larva (as you said) unsure on the species
5 + 6. Seven Spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata

The larva in 3 looks to just be digesting or moving, syrphid larvae are translucent and its quite common to see movement within them.
