Re: 2 Spider IDs

How small is the first spider? Is it indoors? Difficult to ID without being able to clearly see the leg lengths.

Guessing from the background, if it is indoors, my first thought is possibly Zygiella x-notata but they are medium sized, around 4 or 5 mm nose to tail for males and a bit bigger for females.

If it is smaller than that I would guess one of the 'money spiders' Linyphiidae family, but it would be impossible to get much further from that photo.

If outside, it will be time to think again.

I suspect this will prove to be a struggle to get a 100% ID even from one of our experts.
