Bug ID from my orchard

I know the one is either a legit lady bug or an Asian beetle. The other I have no idea.

Image #3 is a Soldier Beetle. Generally beneficial, although they will eat other small beneficials along with the pests.

#2 the Asian Lady Beetle does bite, handle carefully.

#1 is some kind of fly.

Thanks Larry

Your fly is likely a variety of March Fly, just like the one I more recently identified here:

(yours is a clear-winged species)
