I'm assuming the sign you photographed is for the tree behind this Paphiopedilum orchid. An orchid is definitely not in any way related to a pine.
Yeah, this is actually not an orchid at all.
Definitely a Leopard moth of some sort (genus: Hypercompe) Not sure which exact species though. There is a subspecies of Hypercompe scribonia called H.s. denudata so that might be it. (I'm assuming the denudata is describing the clear lower half of the wings which doesn't occur in the species usually)
Yeah, it's been a rough summer for Texas.
Definitely a dendrobium of some sort.
