Another jumper Jumping Spider - Paraphidippus aurantius (female, ~8-12 mm) OOF, but the only photo I got of the face.
Longhorn 2 Flower Longhorn - Typocerus lunulatus (8-12 mm) I think this beetle is a mimic of wasps such as Scolia nobilitata (Scoliidae) and Anoplius (Pompilidae), which have a very similar pattern: black body with four large yellow spots. On Sandhills Milkweed, Asclepias humistrata.

Oak, I think! I was confused by this shrub/tree, as the leaves were small, about 9 cm (3 inches) long. These were much smaller than those of adjacent sapling Swamp Chestnut Oak (Quercus michauxii), and the growth form was a shrub, not a tree. Maybe it is a sapling Swamp Chestnut Oak - Quercus michauxii Twigs are somewhat downy, and underside of leaves glabrous, as shown in adjacent observation of the spider on iNaturalist, so it is not Chinquapin, which is what I thought initially. The branching looks more like oak--with several terminal leaves on the twigs. Could be another shrubby oak, perhaps a hybrid, or a Swamp Chestnut with leaves still emerging? Comments appreciated--am really not sure.
