The Large Milkweed Bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus) on, unsurprisingly, milkweed.
Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica) making more Japanese Beetles in a bed of roses.
Bald-faced Hornet (Dolichovespula maculata) drinking dew.

Nice selection, and nice, sharp pix.. What lens are you using for the hornets?

Thank! Most of the bugs are taken with my iPhone 5. The insects are so busy working the snakeroot and boneset I can just get on top of them. My actual camera is a Canon SX50, which is why my bird photos can’t hold a candle to yours.

Oops, my mistake. the Bald-faced hornet was taken with my Canon. It has one of those “super-zoom” lens.
