The little green caterpillar at the bottom of the leaf is probably a Geometrid, I have been informed, so with the blade of grass (or reed) there are 5 species on the second picture..

The plant looks like an Arrowhead, in Araceae family. Need to see more to be sure and also not sure which species you have in Spain.

Added a second picture which shows the original uncropped image so that someone may wish to ID the plant which the butterfly is on. I also notice another bug on the left side of the picture, can anyone identify that please?

I know nothing about plants but I can look up the uncropped image to see if it shows more of the plant and if so post it as a second picture. I'll comment again when that is done, then if someone identifies it I can move it to a second spotting.
