Great photos as always. Thanks for sharing, Albert.
Ceriagrion cerinorubellum.
Crocosmia sp., probably a garden hybrid Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora. They come from Africa, but are cultivated all over the world.
You're welcome, FakawiTribe.
The pupa is the stage after larva and before adult, but these yellow guys are still larvae, not pupae. A pupa does not eat anymore, and does not walk either.
Take a look at this: Podontia affinis, from Thailand.

I don't think so, Sukanya. On the only photo I have of R.fasciata, it is dark brown with a narrow yellow band across the abdomen. Yours looks more like R.brevita, but I don't know what kind of nest this species builds. I could not find much information on the Internet. Sorry that I cannot be of more help.
Ropalidia fasciata builds nests like that.
Maybe other species do the same thing, too.
Might be a male Polyommatus damon, or perhaps Lysandra bellargus.
The western tailed blue is an american species, and not likely to be found in Slovenia, I think.
