First one looks like a grasshopper of some sort. Second kind of looks like the harlequin bugs we'd get on hibiscus plants back home.
Second one is one of these....

First one moved like it was hunting, sort like a praying mantis moves....

Any damage on the plant? My motto is, "If it isn't doing any damage don't worry about it." 
No damage but if its beneficial I'd look into ways to keep it around. The second picture, not sure if they're feeding on the plant or if they found something else, its a weed I haven't gotten around to pulling up because I found a family of garden spiders setting up residence in the vicinity....
Nature does it's thing my friend and if there is slight damage to leaves on my plant yet the fruit is still fine I don't sweat it.
If you can grow a perfect plant with no imperfections you are lucky indeed!

I think the second one is a juvenile stink bug. They suck. Literally.
If my guess on the first one is correct, and it's a mantis, maybe it will eat the stinkbugs when it gets bigger.
