| | | Huge A. quadratus and an ID please.
I've never seen an A. Quadratus this big before she was more than 20mm long, for scale my (grubby  ) little fingernail (pic 2) is 13mm long.  
This one I'd appreciate an ID for, approx 5mm long. I thought a jumping spider of some kind but I can't find a match.  
Thanks

Think your second is also an orb-web species- Nuctenea umbratica. |

Wow that was quick,
thanks guys, that would explain why I couldn't see anything similar in Salticidae (I knew I shouldn't get involved in spiders, I haven't a clue with them  )

In my defence, it wasn't behaving how its Latin name would suggest, wandering around on a truck in bright sunshine.
