Looks like one of these Orbweavers: Mecynogea lemniscata
I thought an Orchard Orbweaver to begin with, but this looks closer to me.

Is this a termite?
Nah, definitely not. The wing venation is all wrong, termites have lots of long parallel lines on their wings, just like roaches.
I'd agree with it being some sort of wasp, I'm not sure which sort though.
Margined Carrion Beetles, Oiceoptoma noveboracense.
They're not invasive, they're native to North America. The "noveboracense" in the Latin name refers to New York specifically.
Thanks for having a go, but not in Ireland it's not.
I'm pretty sure that it's one of the Amaurobius Lace Weavers.
It's definitely this.
It's one of the Amata Tiger Moths like Amata phegea:

Edit: That's a cool website by the way, thanks for sharing.
The one on the bottom is one of the Eratigena, Giant House Spiders. Top one is harder to see, but I'd say it's the same.
e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/750907-Eratigena-duellica
E. duellica, E. saeva and e. atrica are impossible to distinguish without examination of the genitalia under a microscope, and all 3 are apparently introduced to North America, so potentially any of those.
It's Elder Futhark for an ancient gaming prayer:
"GGHF"
That's very cool. It's not something I would have even realised was a problem as a layperson.
You can get them on the Releases page on GitHub once the release happens.

Dessalines might post them somewhere on Lemmy as well, I'm not sure.
It's a Louse Fly, probably the Pigeon Louse Fly, Pseudolynchia canariensis
As the "louse" in the name suggests, they're blood-sucking parasites, but this species only on pigeons and doves.
