Flies on my mint plant, what are they and why?

[HeidiLikesFlowers]

My mint plants do not look very good, ive placed yellow chromotropic traps since ive spotted, what i believe to be, white flies.
Is someone able to ID the other insects that got captured?

Yes, you have whiteflies. The other two insects are a green bottle fly and, I believe, a miner bee, both of which are good pollinators. I have to say that the damage to the leaves are caused by the whiteflies. To get rid of the whitefly spray with insecticidal soap or dishsoap and water.

It looks like an immature Asiatic Garden Beetle. Not a good guy

Something I have noticed about mint is that because it grows everywhere and is the survivor when a garden is let go people think they can grow it in anything. You can, you can grow it badly in anything. Give it a bit of nice soil with plenty of nutrients in and it is a different plant, bright green, prolific, attractive and vivacious.

I was going to say cucumber beetle but it is definitely a beetle of some sort.
