Female stag beetle:



A rather unusually colored assassin bug, Zelus luridus, was suggested. I’m not sure how to distinguish this from the lupine bugs, such as https://bugguide.net/node/view/2721/bgimage — presumably, it’s the shape of the head, and the mouthparts?


Bufo americanus, American toad.

These moths were everywhere. Angle moth was suggested.



Stiletto fly? I’m a little stumped. (EDIT: suggested that snipe fly was more likely).

Tiny beetle. Mordellidae, tumbling flower beetle.

Cixiid planthopper, I think. As a starting point for identification, you can look at Cixius?


Pisaurina mira, Fishing spider:
