The wasp is an ichneumonid, very common family that includes a lot of parasitic wasps that parasitize other insects and are therefore very important in biological control of insect pests. The sub-family may be Banchinae
This is a bug (Hemiptera). I'm pretty sure this is the kudzu bug. It was recently discovered here in Georgia and is the current sensation. http://www.caes.uga.edu/departments/ent/upmp/documents/KudzuBugCircular991.pdf
Longhorned beetle or Longicorn beetle. I think it is Batocera lineolata or White-striped Longhorn Beetle = shirosuji-kamikiri (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaxAmNfF7AY). Can also be yellow striped http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Batocera_lineolata Batocera is a genus of Cerambycid beetles that are pests on several tree crops. Batocera rufomaculata is the mango stem borer common in India. Also refer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longhorn_beetle for info on Longicorn beetles in general.
Immature Hemipterans of Fulgoridae or Membracidae. (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha).
That looks like a sphingid caterpillar, but I cant identify it from the picture. The anal horn is what identifies it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphingidae
Snout Moth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasiocampidae . Looks like Euthrix sp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philudoria_potatoria
Again immature Hemipterans of Fulgoridae or Membracidae. (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha).
A kind of zipper spider. Argiope species. You can see the start of the zipper pattern on its web. Species may be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_aetherea.. could be a subspecies of that.
Looks like a slug caterpillar, but not sure...
Moth Fly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moth_fly
Green Slant-faced Grasshopper. Genus is most probably Acrida.. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_grasshoppers/Longheaded.htm These may be mistaken for green katydids which are long horned grasshoppers because they are so slender, but they are actually short horned.
Asian Longhorned Beetle - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_long-horned_beetle Another current sensation in the US.
A Hymenopteran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hymenoptera . The most I can say from this picture is Suborder Apocrita.
