The Botanical Gardens in Clemson is right by campus. I go there and take photos of interesting insects.
The mettalic green beetle is a Tiger Beetle (Cicindela Sexguttata?)
(http://bugguide.net/node/view/8175/bgpage)
The scarab-like beetle may be a rain beetle (Pleocomidae). It has hard light brown wings that fade to a metallic jade color. It has feathery antenna and a zebra-patterned underbelly.
The fly, I can't identify.
The spider is some sort of crab spider.
Edit: I had to get about a foot away for the Tiger beetle. I was a few feet away for the scarab-like beetle. Spiders are good to take photos of because they usually stay still. That Tiger beetle was running at warp speed. I took 10 pictures and only one wasn't blurry.
