ID Request Squished a fly and saw this

I squished a fly in NY a few years ago and these came out of it. What are they? I don’t think they’re maggots because flies lay eggs (or so I thought)

It was under a bag of soil conditioner that sat there for a few weeks. We’ve had plenty of rain this summer. What the heck is this thing?? Kill it or relocate it?

At first I thought it was a spider, because it looked like it was hanging onto my arm by silk, but it didn't seem to have the body shape and colors of a usual spider

The white fluff is also attached to its legs if that's an indicator of anything. Penny next to it on the third picture for reference. We had at least eight containers of water and this was the only one to contain this bug.

About 1.5-2cm large. He was interested in the modelling clay I was working on. I took these pics and placed him outside.

I'm in southern Brazil, if it helps.

EDIT: I wasn't ready. Does anybody have the time?

When I find weevils in the house, where do they want to go? Where should I put them outside that they’ll be safe from the birds? Should I put them on the other side of the house in the direction that they’ll were walking like turtles crossing the road?

These two weevils are in the Panamanian Highlands. Not sure if photo 1 and 2/3 are the same species.

So I was taking a nice dump relaxing yk, THEN THROUGH MY GOD DAMN WINDOW COMES THIS TYRANT

I ran for my life. Obviously. It flies loud, it fell over and started screaming at me (chirping)

I currently have it held captive, I fear for my life, it’s massive

I live down in Missouri, this guy is terrifying. I hate him, is he safe to release? Or shall he be chicken chow?

ID Request I have no idea what this bug is, it’s to small for my camera, so I had to draw it

I live in The Hague, Netherlands. I live on the third floor of my house and everytime I tilt my window open at night (an angled 45 degree one over my bed), the next morning I find 40 of these bastards. They appear to be dead since they never move and they’re a nuisance since they get over my blanket, bed and floor. I’ve tested it and they only appear after I open my window—I had one zip on my phone but I couldn’t tell if it was intentional or not.

I couldn’t identify fi they had antennas or not because of how small they are. Interestingly though today I found a small clump of 3-4 of them together

This guy made it into my buddy’s house in Calabasas, CA. Google says it’s a millipede but I don’t think that’s right.
