Need help identifying some bugs...

Click on pictures to enlarge. Thanks for confirming/denying if you can!
  1. Male Eastern Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis) - Taken Oct 14 at Lake Apopka (Clay Island area)
  2. Carolina Saddlebag (Tramea carolina) - Taken Oct 14 at Lake Apopka (Clay Island area)
  3. Obscure Bird Grasshopper (Schistocerca obscura) - Taken Oct 14 at Lake Idamere, Tavares FL
  4. Florida Harvester Ant - Pogonomyrmex badius - Taken Oct 14 at Lake Idamere, Tavares FL
  5. I found this little spider (body is about 3mm, from longest leg to longest leg a little over 6mm) in my bathroom (Fellsmere) last year, have not found a positive ID. I think she might be a Asagena fulva. Someone suggested it might be a male Steatoda grossa, but I don't think the coloring or size is quite right - this was super tiny.

    The following set aren't as high quality pictures, but I think they show the color and body shape a little more accurately.
