The first insect is a fly in the family Tachinidae; likely in the genus Archytas – see https://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/diptera/Archytas.htm
All tachinids are parasitic on other arthropods, mainly other insects.

The second insect is a plant bug in the family Miridae; it looks like Cylapus tenuicornis – see https://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=573106
