Re: Some different insects
I haven't seen any Beautiful Demoiselles yet this year and those (images 1 & 2) are the banded form, male. Calopteryx splendens.
#3 is a Red-headed Cardinal Beetle - Pyrochroa serraticornis. There are a couple of similar species but they have black heads.
#4 is one of the Scorpion Flies but it needs a top view of that bulbous scorpion like tail to get to the full identification. Only 3 options though so usually fairly easy if you have the best angle.
Finally, an Azure Damselfly.

Re: Some different insects
All very good shots, extra crispy sharp. I love those damselflies but the Beetle, not much...scorpion fly is a bit scary by the name. Very nice ...

Lots going on in your neck of the woods. I like the way #1 just floats in the air on that leaf.
