Hi , Can anyone tell me what these insects are ? The first was found on my astilbe which has psyllids
Here is the first is it good or bad ?


Here is the second , is this a leaf hopper or a psyillid ?

Here is a 3rd , is this also a psyllid at a different stage ?

Finally the last , I think this is a cricket ? Grasshopper?
It was very small , the flower it is on is an Astilbe .

My Astilbe seem to have an abundance of insect appeal. I saw hover flys by them today , lady beetle larvae , lacewing larvae, orb weave spiders as well as the crowd above.
Any info would be great ,
Thanks

I would say that those are leafhopper nymphs. Don't know what kind. The one I am REALLY interested in is the top one. Has anyone come up with an ID for that guy on another forum? He's pretty cool looking.

Here is a link that might be useful: leaf hopper

For the top one, do you live near a stream or lake? It could be a mayfly adult but the eyes look more like more like a damselfly. The long protrusions from the back end make me think mayfly. Tough to tell from that angle; I'd like to see a side view if possible. Both are totally harmless to plants.

We have a pond nearby as well as running streams that is when we have normal rain fall. As for a side view I will see if I was able to get one , I took several shots.
I love this critters eyes .
