Wow, they're pretty! I don't know much about pest control, but hopefully these guys are palatable to birds. You might consider setting up a bird feeder to attract some passerines to your yard. If the birds like these bugs, they'll be gone quite soon.

I'm not sure about the black butterfly with blue tips, ore the butterfly with white uppers, and cream/yellow lowers (possibly Appias albina).
I'm not going to attempt the other critters, but here's a link that may help.
