Half dollar coin sized spider in Tehama county , CA.

Found this cool guy while working and I don't think I've ever seen one like it around here. Because of the legs appearance and size + color I'm leaning towards some kind of trapdoor ? It reminds me of Aptostichus ramirezae but I believe I'm wrong . Sorry he's a bit dirty too so it might be hard to tell any identifiable markings / color.

Wife discovered these guys in our pantry

One shelf and bottles in our pantry are covered in what appeared to be a fine coat of orange dust, but using our 3 year olds microscope toy, my wife discovered it’s actually colonies of these little guys crawling everywhere. She is in the process of bleaching and throwing stuff out, and I’m just curious: what the heck are they?

Three of these bugs were trying to enter through my windows like crazy for a long time last night... [South America, south of Chile (forest area, currently rainy)]

But today in the morning I found one of them, but like "stunned", it could barely walk and constantly flipped itself upside down, unable to fly.

What are they and what was happening to the poor guy? Could be the other ones in the same situation somewhere in my backyard? Can I do something for them?

Caterpillar. South Ga. US

This bad boy looks like a gummy worm. My original thought was a catalpa worm but I doubt it’s that.

Found all round a single window frame

Any help identifying would be welcome. They’re only in one room and I get about 50 a day appearing on or near a single PVC window frame. It’s been like this for months. I assume they have eggs in a crack somewhere but have no idea what it is to take further. There’s a radiator directly under the window which might be info of some use.

Any help appreciated.

I Found What I believe To Be Some Kind of Wasp Nest On the Heater Part of My Bathroom Fan That Died.

Has at least two pods inside, with what look like developing bodies. What kind of wasps are these? Is it recent? Are there possibly more? Should I be worried? I am in Delaware. The Pods are about the size of a vitamin pill or Tylenol capsule

Any idea what this bee could be?

There were regular honey bees and hover flys around, it looks kind of like a honey bee but only has the two orange lines on its back
