The 1st two could be Harlequin beetles and the 2nd could be a Ladybird larva, lovely shots ...

Thank you. Really, a ladybird larva? How long until it turns into an adult?

those are Plant Bugs, Order Hemiptera- not unlike the Milkweed Bug but can't tell you the actual species. The little fellow as suggested is probably a Ladybird larva.
As far as I know all Beetles, Order Coleoptera, have their wings protected under wing cases or elytra.
