The second one... a slug. My parents thought it was a worm and my grandmother thought caterpillar.

Look at those strong legs! I'm thinking a miniscule cricket. Found near water.

Nyys, the first one is a Skipper, maybe the Erynnis montanus:

The last one is a crane fly from the family Tipulidae. You can tell it is a fly because it has only one pair of wings, with the hind wings modified into little club-shaped organs called halteres. You can see the left-hand haltere in your picture between the left wing and the left hind leg.
There are many species of crane-flies and I can't get any closer than the family,
