Last time he chose to be cooperative and remain fairly still out in the web, I'd say he had a legspan somewhere in the neighborhood of 2cm.

Well it's not too late. And many of them don't take up a lot of room. Just don't let your frogs eat them.

Cesar, your first spider appears to be a spitting spider ... a member of the Family Scytodidae-- possibly Scytodes thoracica. Very cool creatures. You might like this:

A different sort of beauty...
Too bad it's so late in the year, I could entertain you all with pics of our native tarantulas and huge garden spiders.

Awww, jumping spiders are SO CUTE! (That one appears to be a female btw.)
Well Beverly, I'll just have to settle for being entertained by my tarantulas and my spiders until you can get out and get some pics.

Love jumping spiders! They make incredible jumps - 20 times their body length, or more, they turn into position and you clearly can see them thinking "I'm jumping ---NOW!" They jump between my orchids as well and I hope they feed on them as well. Never had luck with photographing them - they use to jump onto the camera!
