Chris or others may have some ideas about the IDs, but this is what  
they look like to me:

The one that is marked Longhorn Beetle3 is actually a sawfly of some  
kind.  It might be Arge humeralis if you have them in N.S.

These three photos look like Banded Longhorn (Typocerus velutinus) to  
me:

This one looks like it could be a Red-shouldered Pine Borer  
(Stictoleptura canadensis)

Not sure about this one.  Looks to me like a Broad-headed Bug   
(Alydus) - maybe Alydus eurinus.

Sorry I can't help much with the grasshoppers -- the two with dark  
stripes on the side look to be Melanoplus grasshoppers.
The green hopper looks like a katydid nymph.
