Pretty little grass fly. I don't believe I've noticed one of these before

I saw what I think was a wasp larva on a cricket the other day. Is this correct?
Cricket is a Restless Bush Cricket (Hapithus agitator). I think the larva is a Rhopalosomatid wasp?

I just got a macro lens and have been practicing with it. I thought this Brown-belted Bumble Bee (Bombus griseocollis) was a cutie

Do you think this treehopper counts?
A horn is kinda like a snoot, and it has adorable orange booties. I definitely think it's cute. Two-marked Treehopper (Enchenopa binotata)

[MO, USA] Golden jumping spider with a snack
Beautiful critter πππ Paraphidippus aurantius. I think it has a cricket, but I can't quite tell. Btw I was blowing ants off my phone, not trying to blow on the spood.

Formerly feral cat with Physaloptera (reupload, forgot a pic)
I thought this was neat, hadn't seen this one before. It looks like it's not super common (below 5% in domestic cats and dogs, per this article I'm reading). I found the second picture here while reading up about these, but the vet's page looks legit, so I'm guessing they just used it as an interesting visual. I'm pretty sure the xray and story are really theirs. Not a scientist, just an interested layperson, so I welcome corrections and more info!
