The first one is a metallic wood-boring beetle (family Buprestidae); it looks like Chalcophora virginiensis - https://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/4106/
The second one is a type of long-horned wood-boring beetle known as a flower longhorn. See https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Banded-Longhorn-Beetle for an example
The third one appears to be a small scarab beetle, but I cannot be more specific from that image.
The fourth one is a spotted cucumber beetle; aka southern corn rootworm – see https://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/43/ .

THANK YOU Flapdoodle! now I know what to look up, and where to start looking. We have been doing some brush clearing, so I guess my woodpeckers aren't doing their jobs, chuckl
