Need lots of IDs

[rex740]

Hello, I'm new to bug collecting and in the spring I will be starting an entomology class at the University of Florida which includes insect collecting (can't wait ;D). In the mean time I have recently got a new digital camera and have started taking photos of bugs so I can start identifying them now before I go collecting them. This may take the combined effort of different specialists but please try and help me find out these species or any info on these guys, thank you.

Common cricket or does it go more in depth?


I think they're all the same species, not sure on the last one though...






This little guy was awesome, he wasn't afraid of me at all, hope I find one again when I go collecting.


Hidden scary wasp. Couldn't get a full body shot.


Some type of beetle. I have seen these before under logs and such when I go millipede collecting.


I'm not sure if there is a point to IDing flies, unless there really is a huge variety.


Another fly...


Ladybug nymph, right?


Bee.




Awesome beetle that flew by me.


Unknown pupae.


One of the coolest things I have found so far.


And my new pet. I've been looking for a mantid to have as a pet for quite a while. Looks like a bark mantis, is it?

On the photo #7 is a small Carabidae.

On the photo # 14, this is not a pupa, but a Mantidae egg-sac (ootheca),which is also parasitized by small egg-parasitic Hymenoptera parasitoids (you can see a female adult of a parasitoid wasp on the ootheca,while parasitizing it/putting eggs in it with its ovipositor).

On the photo # 15, is a Heteropteran bug.

Photo # 10, Coccinellidae larva.

These are from a quick glance. I don't have much free time at the moment to search and tell you the exact species.
For the spiders,I have no idea (I'm interested and collect only insects).

On the photo # 1, I think that this Trigonidiinae Gryllidae is a male nymph of Anaxipha.

Photo # 5, Microlepidoptera.
