Hi guys/girls. I'm still no spider expert so i just wanted 2 ID's. I think the first one is Araneus Quadratus. Not sure about the second, possibly Zygiella x-notata? Apologies for the big photos

the second pic is real blurry but if i am interpreting it right it looks like it could be an Uloboridae spider. Ulo's are neat, cuz they don't use venom to secure their prey :)

Really? I've seen several of these little guys. No wonder they won't take anything a little bigger in their webs.

Well I've just had a look in the Collins field guide and it looks very similar to the Missing Sector Spider.
