2nd one looks like a shieldbug to me - I know the last one, but my mind has gone blank - we get loads of them round here.

#2 Shieldbug, #3 Soldier Beetle. #1 is a fly of course but you need expert to ID -you could look through galleries at diptera.info

Click beetles are a bit different that is a Soldier Beetle, Rhagonycha fulva.

After perusing BugGuide for a long time, the closest thing I could find for number 1 is a marsh fly. But usually marsh flies have red eyes so I dunno. You should submit it to BugGuide to be ID'd, it's a great photo.
