Not easy to answer. No idea what species. The first is probably a Tetragnathidae, may be closely related to Metellina. The on on pic 2 and 3 is very interesting looking. Don´t know even family.
Pic 4 may be Deinopidae, net casting spiders.
The last one is a jumper (Salticidae). To family level you have probably determined them your self. Have you any idea on which family pic 2-3 is?

Let me first say that you have some nice spiders, and good photo skills!

And secondly, I would judge the second spider to be a funnel-weaver, from the family Agelenidae. Compare the legs with Tegeneria and Agenelopsis sp., and the abdomen with Agelenopsis sp. Also, the overall coloration is in keeping with the Tegeneria color palette, so I'm pretty sure your spider is an Agelenid.

"Real" Agelenids have long spinnerets. I´d rather place it in Gnaphosidae somewher close to Micaria.

hi, cannot agree with Gnaphosidae, cause of the spinnerets, Gnaphosidae have more conical spinnerets. Looks more like a Zodariidae to me.
