Howdy! I have a few bugs (Mostly Spiders) Which I have found around North Western America and I was wondering if I could get some input on the correct identification of them, without further adieu here they are

I think the second to last is a Wooly Bear correct? I just haven't seen those white spines before so I was wondering, and the last one is probably an Oxyopes but just in case. EDIT: Images posted in a different order than expected, the last one I thought was a wooly bear (Though actually just a relative) and the second one I thought was an oxyopes.

The spiders all appear to be cross orb weavers (Araneus diadematus), a very common and widespread species. The caterpillar is that of a spotted tussock moth (Lophocampa maculata) - http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Lophocampa+maculata

Thank's Flapdoodle! I was wondering on the caterpillar! (And the rest too of course)
