What Is Chewing My Squash Leaves?

I came back from a two week vacation and my squash had grown wonderfully; however, some of the leaves were wilted. It looks as though they had been chewed just beyond where the leaf leaves the vine. I did see a couple of little tiny green bugs that look like tiny caterpillars, and I have a strange looking spider that has taken up residence nearby. The spider is long and narrow with black and yellow stripes. Do you have any suggestions?
