At least down to Order or Family?

These were found in a mountain stream in western Hubei Province. 1660 m elevation (if that helps). Any sort of ID would be helpful. I'm uploading the original sizes so that as much detail can be viewed as possible:

These are in there:
Plecoptera like the leftmost animal in the upper pic
Odonata like the larger one in the left lower corner of the 4th pic
Diptera - the fat 'legless' thing in the lower center of the upper pics
I'm uncertain about the three to the right in the 2 upper pics.
The worm could be Nemertea, Nematomorpha or something else...

Sorry I cannot be more precise.
