Gaelyn's visit - Part 4

This robber fly was kind enough to let me crawl up to him to take his picture. I did not see many last summer and wonder why?
A beautiful spider..... Nephilidae - Nephila fenestrata -Golden Orb
There are many different "foam" grasshoppers here. They all have bright colors and produce a foamy defense secretion.
A fly of some sort?
A Lunate Blister Beetle.
One often sees this in the grass and it is made by a web spinning spider.
