The first spider is a "Slender Crab Spider" in the genus Tibellus , family Philodromidae. There are three species possible in Arizona. It would need a microscope exam to tell which one. Here's a gallery of Tibellus to use as comparison, though: http://bugguide.net/node/view/6824/bgimage . These are pretty harmless spiders that hunt "on foot" rather than building a web. The second spider looks like a male "Southern House Spider," which are also known as "Crevice Weavers" because of where they build their webs (in crevices on buildings). The scientific name is Kukulcania hibernalis . The males (like yours) are actually frequently misidentified as Brown Recluses. The females are much darker colored with shorter legs and a chubbier abdomen. Here's a gallery of this species (you'll see both males and females mixed in there): http://bugguide.net/node/view/26400/bgimage . This is another pretty harmless spider and it's actually very common in the southern states. The males leave their webs once they mature to go find a mate, so that must be the mission this dude is on. The rest of the time these are pretty hidden in their crevice webs and aren't seen that often.Arizona Spider Identification - Bookshelf
