Aside from what was already mentioned; lacewings, butterflies, carpenter bees, orb weavers, and (checked the rules first) slugs!

There’s a whole lil family of leopard slugs on my front porch when it’s warm out after a rain and I love seeing them do their thing. They make their way up the steps to munch on leftover cat food then chill out on the door and siding until about sunrise to return to the soil.
