What makes photography such a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

Terrific pictures! The mating long jawed orb weavers is showing the moment of implantation of sperm.
I can start with some very general IDs
#1 is one of the nursery web/fishing spiders, Pisauridae.
#2 looks to be one of the "bowl and doily" spiders, Linyphiidae.
#3 is an "Argiope". I think this one is called the "wasp spider".

A most impressive array of spiders, presented in interesting and well-photographed variety.

Well... yes and no. I have no trainign at all in enthomology or arachnology, but I do ask for IDs in a Facebook group and over time I've learned to recognize some of the more common local species.
