Those are:
Lycosidae
Nephilla clavipes
Argiope aurantia - in that order.
Came across them on another arachnid forum and though I'd share!

Down here we call the last 2 banana spiders. They're awesome to just pluck off their webs and play with sometimes (always putting back safely, of course)

Those 2, and the jumping spiders would be my favorite true spiders. Brown widows are gorgeous, but a little too hot for my taste
(yes, brown widows, in case you've never heard of them.not brown recluses)

Out of curiosity, how many species of jumping spiders are there in the USA? I suppose I could google it, but I just got off work, and am therefore lazy til at least tomorrow morning...
