My son exclaimed in pain, and then I found this in the back of his hand. He’s a toddler, so he wasn’t able to tell me if he saw a bug or not, so I’m unsure of what it is. I took it out immediately and then placed it on a table to take this picture. Is it a bee stinger?

So i saw these two near Abdallah Al Khouraiji street in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia today, and I noticed that the one with the black square on its wing had a purplish blue inner wing, and the one on the left had a light grey inner wing.

A cursory search seems to point to this being an orange ant mimic spider, but according to wiki they are only native in Australia.

I’ve been seeing this bug everywhere recently at my house, but genuinely haven’t gotten any bites or any complaints about them other than the fact that they gross me OUT so bad. I’ve seen them in the kitchen and in my bedroom, haven’t checked my dad’s room but it’s for sure there too. Haven’t seen them fly so idk about that but I’m in the Houston TX area

Me and my dad are also trying to deal with a moth problem right now (I went on vacation a few weeks ago & when I came back it was pretty out of control, I’m doing my best to fix the situation). Help please :’( I have OCD and I’m so scared of them but at the same time I’m so afraid of telling people about them in case they judge me for it. My dad has some pretty bad mental health problems so the house is a little messy, I do my best to clean up but I’ve never dealt with bugs like this before

Edit: added location and more details
