It's a member of the Longlegged Flies, but I couldn't tell you which. Though it is likely in the subfamily Sciapodinae

Welcome. My pleasure.
You got it; it is a clear wing moth. Cool.
I'm looking for an ID on this plant also. I believe it's a mallow, but which kind?
This amorous pair are bugs rather than beetles. If you know... Would like an ID of the plant they are on.
Looks like a Lacewing larva of some kind. You can change your category from other to arthropod as it is an insect.

This beetle is in the Cinerea Group. I'm fairly sure is either E. cinerea or E. funebris. Apparently, according to bugguide, the way to tell them apart is by observing the mouthparts.
Actually, comparing the "faces" in figure4 of the link in my other comment to your photo #4, I'm more confident it is X. micans
Note : it may be the very similar Xylocopa virginica a male Eastern Carpenter Bee. I'm going with southern because you mentioned a noticeable blue abdomen. Bugguide mentions that southerns have a more purplish iridescent abdomen. Here are other details to distinguish them, though I don't believe visible in the photos.
