[4.5]  This is an adult male Siler, similar to S. semiglaucus, but perhaps S. collingwoodi.  Note the extended brush of dark setae on tibia I.  LIII of this spider was missing.

[4.8]  Male Phintella versicolor.

[4.10]

[4.11]  This looks like a female Phintella vittata (Banded Phintella).  P. vittata was recently popularized because of a demonstration that they can see UV light, although this ability is thought to represent a general capability of salticid spiders.
