Default Type of insects

Hi,

Need some advice on the name of those insects. Any useful link that I can find the names?
C&C are most welcome too. Thanks.

Cheers!

Dunno the ID. First one dunno if its a treehopper or plant hopper.

Anyway, #1 good control of the whites.....but the pic and the rest of the pic, try to keep insect parallel to the camera plane. Also for #2, take it at their eye level if possible, it makes a greater impact.

#1 insect is not easy to shoot as it is off white. Good BG! Great work!
Guess #2 insect has very nice side profile, too bad that the face has turned away.
#3 was beautifully captured!
