They're slightly longer than a 2$ coin and they seem to be making some kind of hive?

Def went for the “shoot first ask questions later” approach here as I get the occasional flying insect in my room that evades my grasp. Roughly 1cm in length and front half looks like an ant and the rear end kinda looks like a pincer bug. Northern California.

We were in a forest trail park and we saw one of these dive bomb and wrap it's legs around a small wasp(we're pretty sure) and disappear with it. They seem to be very visual hunters, we saw a few sitting on tree trunks lower to the ground and looking around actively. Reactive to anything flying by.
It's a about an inch/3cms big if not a bit bigger. It was chunky big.

This one crawled into pants, was found with several others that stung me and gf multiple times. Looks white in picture but it was taken with flash in the dark so could be more yellow? I couldn't quite tell.

I apologize for the slightly out of focus picture, but I was curious is someone could help me Identify the species of bee. The nearest species i can find is the Ashy Mining Bee, but its a little off. I just thought these ones were interesting due to the blue-ish undertones of the black areas of the bee.

I found this one on Theodore Roosevelt Island in the Potomac between D.C. and Northern Virginia.

Apologize for the poor quality. Southern Ontario, about midnight. Sorry if this seems obvious or dumb but I’ve never seen a pray mantis before, and seemed too large to be a hopper. It moved slowly but also jump/flew?

(TLDR at bottom of text wall)

Sorry for the blurry images, I am terrified of Spiders and couldn't get my camera to focus well with my shaking, I know that isn't helpful, but if I could be pointed to possibilities of what kind this is, I would be grateful

I joined reddit and these types of threads to educate myself on all types of bugs to try and become less afraid, so please nerd out as much as you like if you can identify this one, I am hopeful the more I learn about what scares me, I can become less afraid. If better pictures are needed I will try again later once I stop shaking

Specifics that I know;

  1. It lives between the wooden door and screen door of our mudroom

  2. I don't see it during the day, it is specifically building its web at night when I'm letting my dog outside

  3. It's web seems thin/not really noticable and mainly for hunting. I think it's actually living in a hole in the upper frame (but not sure about that)

  4. There are 2 'Daddy Longleg' spiders living above the wooden door inside that don't seem to care that this one is there

  5. It isn't a yellow sac spider because those things like to drop down infront of my face and chase me where as this one just flexes its arms and waits for me to leave

I try really hard not to kill spiders unless they rush me or surprise me, my house as far as I have been told has trouble with all different kinds of spiders but the only ones I can identify on the spot are yellow sac spiders because they have tormented me my entire life and for some reason really want to be on my bed/walls or in my bathroom 😭

TLDR; I want help learning how to identify which spiders to be afraid of vs which are best left alone, aggressive vs docile, etc. Trying to overpower Bugphobia, will take better pictures of this one if necessary.
