Brown pepper leaf, orange flies & mystery guest!

Few questions to ask, and since I am, for the first time, going to attempt to post a pic or 4, I thought I would pop them all in one post!!
Here goes.......
First question, what are these orange flies I have in my greenhouse, and are they doing damage (I have a feeling they are eating the foliage on my cape gooseberry's).


Second question, why am I getting brown leaves on my bell pepper plants??


And thirdly, but not last, since I am new to all this pic posting, I thought I would post a pic of the more than welcome guest that walked past the greenhouse while I was taking pics of the flies. I believe her name is Mog.



Cheers for any replies :beer:

Hope you get an answer to the brown spotty leaves as that's exactly the same as mine!!!0 -
I panicked at first and thought it was blight, so took all the leaves off one of my plants, but now I dont think it is, poor bare plant, lol.
As for the flies, they are just plain odd, orange flies, its mad!“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

One last shameless bump while everyone is asleep to see if I can find out what the marks on my peppers are from.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”
