The only one I can help you with is the grasshopper, which is a Common Green Grasshopper Omocestus viridulus!

I reckon the beetle is a varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci.

To my non-expert eyes the bee looks more like Bombus hypnorum than anything

The first fly is a Chloropidae, probably Thaumatomyia sp.

The second looks like a Ptychopteridae, possibly Ptychoptera contaminata or similar.

The third is a Dolichopodidae.

The fourth is probably an Anthomyiidae.

The last fly I'm not sure about, I want to say Tachinidae but something about it isn't right.

The beetle is a Dermestidae, possibly Dermestes sp.
