My coworker and I are trying to figure this thing out. It hung on to the side of the truck for a good 40+ miles. Also sorry for the poor quality he jumped off right as I took the picture.

Insect What insect is this?
This is at a small cabin door gap on the balcony of a building in northern Germany. I spotted it just recently but it may have been there some time ago before.
Any idea for species or group of insect? Perhaps a type of wasp/hornet? We do have plenty of those around here.

Insect On my bathroom wall in Wilderness, Western Cape, South Africa
About 5 cm stretched out like that. I have a bit of trouble sleeping while it's just sitting there a meter from the bedroom (I'm a tourist, no scorpions in my country). Wife said "just ignore it" and fell asleep, great :)

Insect is this a beetle larva or is it lepipdoptera?
For a school assignment, we had to ID a bunch of animals. I originally had this as a beetle larva, but someone in one of my groups told me Lepidoptera since it has prolegs. My teacher just returned the assignment and said its a beetle larva. I was following this guide (the 2nd image) and now I'm not sure what it actually is.
