I\'m currently holidaying with my family in Florida and we have found a number of different unfamiliar bugs in the garden of the villa we have been staying in. I have images of two of them -- one large spider (being from the UK, the sheer size of this is pretty terrifying) and one equally nasty looking wasp-like bug.

I\'ve scoured the internet for images of insects similar to the wasp-like one we caught first of all, but was unable to find anything useful. I believe the spider resembles images I\'ve seen of grass spiders but I\'m not an expert in the identification of insects and would appreciate a solid identification.
