Autumn Chinese City Critters

These quite large and colorful spiders were throughout the woods at a campsite near
Beijing. How would you like waking up next to this thing?
I found this caterpillar crawling by my feet at a nearby park. This quiet neighborhood park has a new playground, exercise equipment, benches, flowers, and more. We are likin' it.
My girls were surprised to find out that grasshoppers can fly. This guy buzzed my head at the Shepherd's 
Field Children's Village in Langfang. I highly recommend checking out this orphanage and seeing the amazing work they're doing.
When this insect sensed that I was nearby, he stopped dead in his tracks. I gave him a gentle poke, 
and he spread out hismulticolored wings. Very cool. Anyone know what the names of these guys are?
