In order these are:<br>
1. Seed Bug (perhaps).</blockquote><br>
Not a seed bug but an Alderfly (<i>Sialis</i> sp.) in the Order
Megaloptera (Alderflies and Dobsonflies). Note the transparent wings and
the many-segmented antennae.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">2. Long-horned Beetle (unknown
species)</blockquote><br>
Not a longhorn beetle but a wasp of some kind (possibly an Ichneumonid).
Note the transparent wings.<br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><br>
3. Beetle or Bug ??</blockquote><br>
This is a juvenile stink bug (Pentatomidae). Beetles (with the exception
of rove beetles that look quite different) have their abdomen covered by
an elytra. Also beetles typically have 11 segmented antennae. In some
instances this number is reduced to 9, or vary occasionally less, but
they do not have 4- or 5-segmented antennae like many bugs do.<br><br>

6. Robber Fly (Laphria sp.) Comments?<br>
7. Robber Fly (Machimus sp.) Comments?<br><br>
As before click on the right hand image for the next one.<br><br>
