Image #1 looks like a sawfly larva, not a butterfly caterpillar.
Image #2 is a wonderfully adapted geometrid caterpillar.
Image #3 is a Striped Hairstreak (Satyrium liparops): http://www.butterflydatabase.com/details_result.php?ID=32

Hairstreak is quite nice Scott. Final two shots are a Chalcid wasp. Not the easiest subject to find.
