The bugs in Idaho are almost the same ones in other States. I'm not an Entomologist so I can not give you the correct name of each bug, but they are familiar to most people by appearance.

Got to agree. You've got the most important element of macro spot on; nice and sharp.

For sake of accuracy, your first & last image is a Hoverfly, not a honeybee.

I recognize your butterfly, but I cannot find a common name, nor the scientific name. Frustrating!

Your beetle is a Seven-Spotted Lady beetle (Coccinella septempunctata).
