We have had our granddaughter with us for the holidays and she found some
interesting creepy-crawlies. I have published them on our web site and
would be grateful for identifications, please. There are a few spiders and
caterpillars. TIA.

I think the green & yellow caty is a Buff-tip (Phalera bucephala)

"Another spider" looks like the the common Orb-web spider Araneus diadematus

Yes, the top three caterpillars are Buff tip Moths.
The woollies could be one of several look-alikes, e.g. Buff Ermine
moth.
Spider 1 could be Tegenaria domestica.
Spider 2 is Pholcus phalangiodes.
Spider 3 could be Tegenaria gigantea
And Spider 4 could well be the Garden orb, Araneus diadematus

.......... but then, I'm no expert. :-))

My opinion (for what its worth) is

Spiders are from left to right :

House Spider (tegenaria gigantea)
I think is a Harvestman (opilio parietinus or odiellus spinosus or leiobunum
rotundum)
I think is a Amaurobius fenestralis
and the last is a garden spider (araneus diadematus)

I have no idea about the caterpillars. but my guess would be that the really
hairy
ones are moths.

That was quick! Thanks to each of you. I'll update the site with this
information and tell my granddaughter all those long words ;-)
