I have almost the same photo. I believe they are biting little slivers of the wood and chewing it up with their saliva to make the paper pulp for their nests.

These are the nests of Potter or Mason Wasps (subfamily Eumeninae)

This is the nymph (young) of a dragonfly when it still lives in water, before it grows it's wings and changes to a flying adult. This dragonfly species is called a Dragonhunter, here's a picture of the adult:

The females come in a wide array of color forms. This one is, I believe, an Immature Orange-Form female.
Identical color scheme, but shape is not that of assassin bug.
It's a bug nymph, not a spider. Although there seems to be some spider cob web around.
No problem, I enjoy IDing things or looking them up, in particular things from FL.
This is a Stink Bug nymph, it appears to be a Loxa species like this one:

It didn't look like most of the more colorful pics in the reference page, but did look pretty identical to this one post:
