Not even a guess on this one.

A very green grasshopper, ~ 1 inch long.

One of the Long-jawed spiders, I think.

Great set Rick. Yes you first is indeed a Fragile Forktail (Ischnura posita) and the third is a mature female Eastern Forktail (Ischnura verticals). Well done.

Doc, according to the maps, Houston is way out of range for the Eastern Forktail.
The maps show it only occurring in the northern most parts of Texas.

You’re right Rick. At first glance I thought it was an Eastern but after downloading it I can see it’s a teneral female Fragile Forktail. The colors will come in a few days. Thanks.
