There are 2 small spiders from Moscow region. Can somebody help to ID?

I think the family is Araneidae?

the first one seems to be Metellina sp. ? not sure.

The other I would more for Neoscona sp. (this name in aPortuguese means more or less like this one: new vagina... )

First spider belongs undoubtedly to the genus Meta (maybe M.segmentata Cl.). The open center of the web points on this. Meta is not Araneidae already, it belongs to the family Tetragnathidae. Second spider belongs possibly to the genus Araneus. But it is difficult to say more exactly.

Thanx!

But I found both Metellina segmentata and Meta segmentata. What genus is correct?

They are both correct, but in id guides and keys the genus Metellina is quoted like synonymous, first name is Meta.

Hi, Double A. The former of last two spider photos belongs of course to some Araneus or similar genus. It is hard to say by its bottom view more exactly. The latter photo belongs to immature spider of the genus Philodromus (Thomisidae). Light coloration points it could belong to the species Ph.aureolus, Ph.cespitum, or Ph.longipalpis, possibly. See mature female of Ph.cespitum on the photo attached.
