I think this is an immature bold jumping spider with long-jawed orb weaver prey, but that's just what a nearby cricket frog told me, and you know how they are.

Watched several of these wasps flying around this hawthorn infested with aphids. Hard to tell exactly what was going on but appeared to me from the pictures that the wasps were grabbing parts or whole aphids from the limbs. Did not look like they were there just for honeydew but maybe?
