a small gray blister beetle, it's as long as the the base of your pinky finger is wide. light-gray in coloration, its elytra are shortened to the point where you can see its black abdomen. it has a small head and thorax compared to the size of said abdomen. dark red legs, with a few black segments, mainly at the start and end of the legs.

a common Orb Weaver, also referred to as a Banana spider or Yellow Garden Spider. it's very big, and has a super big abdomen which implies it's female
