| | | Spider and Beetle for ID please.
I rescued this large spider from the swimming pool together with his/her mate. Do you know which type of spider it is? Also, if you look on the upturned leaf, there is a line of something, any idea what it is? The spider was sitting on that leaf. Many thanks in advance. 
After I rescued the spider, I rescued a funny beetle type creature. It curled up in a ball at first. The quality of pic is not very good as he would not sit still for a second. I did wonder whether he is an escaped mealy worm which we feed to Mr/Mrs Robin. Thank you for helping. 
Many thanks

The beetle is a carabid larva. |

The larva is of a beetle, family Silphidae, probably Silpha atrata. |
