Hi
I know these are not all bugs, for which I apologise, but can anyone help with this miscellany of beasts which remain unidentified from our last visit to Costa Rica. Any help would be gratefully received.
I've put them in a web page to avoid clogging the Forum.

Thanks in advance.

The creature you've labelled false scorpion looks to be a whip spider or tailless whip scorpion (Amblypygi).

I think the first beetle (Pic 4) is a carabid

A6 is probably some species of Tortoise Beetle.
