Definitely a moth, and a female one at that. The antennae are too long for it to be a fly (and they're not feathery which means it's a female). Looks like an arctiid, but I don't know my heartland moths well enough to give you a name, although if you check this photo and it matches I'd go with a fall webworm moth.

Not sure. But if it is larger then an inch it could be in the cicada family. Cicadas look a lot like that. The ones I have seen are all dark brown though.

Looks like a blood sucking horse fly to me. Don't let the name fool you, they like human blood just fine, and the bite they leave hurts like hell.

It looks similar to what is referred to as a "horsefly" in the south.

Aaahhh! An Asian long-horned beetle!
j/k it looks more like a zebra-fly... (zebra-fly = zebra horsefly, if it exists)

Maybe it's a new species. It looks beautiful to me.
