Great job on the spider. You can color the foam with permanent markers too to imitate beetles, ants, hoppers etc.
In the home look for other foams, yarn, hair, ribbons, and foil bags.... Ear plugs make great bass poppers. Pet hair in various colors can make good dubbing and tails etc. The under fur in your pet brush and I have even considered dryer lint, but haven't actually used it for dubbing. Depends on what was washed and how long the fibers are. Gorilla Glue can also be used to make floating bodies. http://www.bigfishtackle.com/forum/gforu...ead#unread
Beyond that look at garage sales, dollar stores, thrift shops, and craft shops. Just about any kind of feather, fur, (even stuffed animals), or foam can be used for something.
