Nice! Your first and I think last pictures are of stink bugs (Pentatomidae). You have a German cockroach nymph, and the red one is a nymph something like a milkweed bug (not sure of the species).

One is pentatomidae, corieds are leaf footed bugs(#4) three, I think a roach. Is it birthing?four is a leaffooted bug nymph,looks like Leptoglossus sp. And five, I believe a cerambicid, Rhagium Inquisitor.

Me too, but I am not very tolerant of heat & humidity due to age and health issues.
I surprised myself by staying out two hours this morning starting at 80 degrees and 86% humidity.

It is very hot here, too, Rick. My walkabouts have been reduced to about 10 minutes. You did well on this set despite the weather.

Good selection and very nicely shot. Yes, it is hard in heat and high humidity.

The things sticking out the rear of the roach nymph are its cerci, which are sensory appendages that are well developed in roaches. Here is a top view of the German roach, which this one resembles: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1038622/bgimage

I just got back from Round Rock Rick. I know the heat you are talking about. Didn't do much dragon hunting. Exceptional set. Well done.
