Howdy desertdan, The first and third photo looks like what we call a 'stink' bug and they eat plants. The second photo, I do not know what it is. the fourth photo looks to be a mayfly and they eat other insects. The fifth and sixth photos look to be leaf hoppers and they eat plants. I hope that You can control them, some 'killer' lady bugs would help! LOL!

I have Ladybugs, praying mantis, lacewings, and several varieties of garden spiders. This is why I would like to keep from spraying anything. I sent pics to www.arbicoorganics for positive I.D.

grasshoppers are still in the nymph stage this year. There is not much that can be done to them other than to smash or shoot them as I see them. I wasted a lot of money on grasshopper bait last year. I pray for a lot of rain this year so they will munch on other green stuff they prefer. They are a minor annoyance compared to the root aphids.
