Those are nice pictures! The first is a bold jumping spider, Phidipus audax. The second is the bronze jumping spider, Eris militaris, I think . Those have a nice bronzy color under strong light.
And welcome!
Good finds, jumping spiders are always nice to see.
On this forum we love Jumping spiders! You will fit right in!
