Found these guys in my container garden. Hoping the more experienced gardeners might be able to help me out :)

This guy was in my baby corn plants:

The odd fellow in your basil is a Handsome Trig, Phyllopalpus pulchellus. They are singing constantly around my garden these days. They have this interesting way of amplifying their sound by calling from a group of leaves that are shaped/positioned like a megaphone.

The insect in your baby corn is one of the meadow katydids, although I'm not sure which one. People also call these long-horned grasshoppers because of their extremely long antennae. True grasshoppers have short antennae.

I can't tell much about the third insect. Perhaps a leafhopper or planthopper?
