How big is spider B? I caught one nearly identical in NY state, I wonder if they're the same species?

spider D could be some Tetragnatha spec (Tetragnathidae),

spider C looks a lot like Marpissa muscosa (Salticidae), which is very common here in Europe,
so it's very likely that it is established in your country as well

H is likely Tegenaria agrestis
Looks more like some kind of sheet/funnel-web species. There are so many around here (KS) that I wouldn't know where to begin to find an ID for it though. T. agrestis, to the best of my knowledge, does not occur in KS. I think they are limited to the northwest regions of the US. Wish they could be found around here so I'm hoping I'm wrong. :D

I am likely wrong. we have T agrestis around here, but I am not super familiar with non local true spiders.
