Hello,

I met three insects in the previous week, and have only a limited idea
what they are:

(1) most likely a wasp, but I have not seen such an orange one before.
(2) obviously a (carpenter?) ant.
But what was it doing in our living room? A female in search for a home?
Are the scars at the thorax where wings were attached?
(3) No idea where to place this one. Saw it on a lake shore
mid-morning, full sun.
