Answer

These sentences are mostly very good.  1) very good  2) very good (but “plausible” might be a better word choice than probable; events/situations are “probable” but ideas are “plausible”.   3). Insect should be singular; crop should be plural; and it’s better to leave out the commas because we don’t usually put a commas around a relative phrase (a adjective phrase beginning with the relative pronoun “that” that provide information describing a preceding noun, such as “insects”). 4). very good. 5) Same comment about not using the commas. 6) OK, but I think it’s awkward that the first verb is past perfect and the second one is simple past.  I suggest:  Scientists recently discovered a new site where they found lots of . . . “
