Cool spiders for ID

[Africa]

I'd love to get an ID for these spiders. All photographed this month in Hull.
This male spider was waking about on a bush, moving quite quickly. It went down the bush on a line of silk, then went up again and did this several times. I didn't see any other spider around. There was another male of the same species 10 m away and we also saw a female.

This stripy spider was inside my conservatory.

Morning A,

The first is from the Linyphiidae family, as is your third. The second is possibly a young Salticus cingulatus - I can't quite decide from the abdominal markings!

Take care,

Jason

I think no 1 and 3 are both Neriene montana, indeed Linyphiidae, as Jason pointed out. There aren't a whole lot of Linyphiids of this size with annulated legs like these. Besides, 'tis the season for this kind.
As for no. 2, I'd say either Salticus scenicus or S. cingulatus. Around the house I tend to find only S. scenicus, cingulatus is more of a woodsy species.

Thank you frits_b and Jason. I am used to Salticus scenicus, this one seemed quite different. The other spider has such a lovely name, I will remember it. It looked like it had large black boxing gloves on.

If a spider has 'boxing gloves' it means it's a male. They are called pedipalps and are part of the male's reproductive system. They use it to suck up their own sperm and inject it into the female.
