These are beautiful shots, Nora!
Surprised no one got to this before me - I'm often pretty slow! #2 os a paper wasp, genus Polistes, probably. Make the open combs under eves, etc. #3 is a juvenile assassin bug, one of the predators -- don't touch, for bite (it uses its jaws like needles) is very powerful! #5 is an orchard spider, one of the long-jawed family Tetragnathidae, though this group doesn't have particularly long jaws. Can Doc give the particulars on the obalisking dragonflies? Don't know snails.
Thanks for the helpful information.
