NE Ohio wtf is this?
Found one the other day on my arm crawling onto me from the couch, now tonight on my scalp and it bit my head which itches like crazy. Doesn’t look like lice to me, closest google image match I saw was maybe chewing lice? I have cats and dogs. Please help before I cry. This is hella zoomed in on a piece of toilet paper (25x zoom, iPhone 15 pro max for reference) of the initial one on my arm the other day.

Mud dauber nest??
Found in my garage. There's one more close by but not nearly as big. I did a image search on google and that's what it came up with. If it's winter is it likely abandoned? Can I just scrape it off? Located in Washington State.

Help settle my paranoia
[Located in San Francisco, USA]
I've been getting these little bugs in my plants, healthy or dormant or reviving (like this alocasia polly, it's actually doing fine) but mostly only in the medium of fluval stratum. They crawl around in the medium, sometimes they crawl up on the stem, and I haven't seen them on the leaves (could be that I just didn't notice them, they are so small). The plants get normal bright indirect light.
Anyways, I've looked it up and some people say they are springtails, but they don't look like springtail larvae as shown on Google searches. What are they?? Are they hurting my plants?? Are they thrips?? There are so many of them!! I used Captain Jack's insecticidal soap and drenched the medium, they stopped moving, then I water the plant and they came back alive, crawling up and down again. I'm so confused. I would be so grateful if someone can settle my paranoia once and for all, if this is something I need to get on treating or can I sleep peacefully on this. Thank you all so much!

Bug problem in CT
I live in a two family house. We’ve had a fly problem (I think they are phorid flies) for the past like year and a half. Today I was cleaning trying to find the flys and I came across this dead insect under a desk. It looks like it’s been dead a while as it was dusty. I’m concerned it might be a roach but really praying that it isn’t. We live in Connecticut for reference. Thanks in advance for any help or advice

Pennsylvania. This is on our Christmas tree. Is it a monarch chrysalis? Is it alive?
We brought our Christmas tree home, and this guy was on it. I was trying to do some research, but I’m still not sure what it is and if it’s viable.
