Weevil, Spider, Aphid generator

My little princess was out in the garden today with the magnifying glass, not too successful even though it was warm, 'tis very windy day so everything seemed to be hiding somewhere where we couldn't them. She did however find a rather large orb weaver sunning itself and a tiny weevil, it was taken at 1:1 with 65mm tubes on and still cropped down to a quarter frame, the spider was a couple of shots, couldn't fit it in at 1:1 setting so took an overall shot of it also.
All taken at 1/125, f14, ISO100, flash 1/4 or 1/8 power

Although this spider is not in common coloring, I suspect that this is as Hentz's orbweaver:

Okay you guilted me into doing a bit of hunting about :oops: , not much about the Hentz in the UK, but this the walnut orb-weaver fits the bill http://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/walnut-orb-weaver to be fair the first of these I can recall seeing I see loads of the regular golden later in the year. But I will try to do better on the ID in the future, to be fair I have been a touch lazy on that, normally when something new I do try to find something on them.Although this spider is not in common coloring, I suspect that this is as Hentz's orbweaver

I completely missed your UK location. I believe that you are correct about ID.
