ID corrections welcome.

Crab Spiders (Misumenops spp I think) were out in force on hot and sunny
Tuesday at L Torment, E Dalhousie, Kings Co. These small (4mm long) very
active reddish brown spiders were crawling over me anytime I sat down for
more than a minute on the ground, picnic table, rocks, beach or anywhere.
Others are probably seeing them too. Too erratic for a picture but here is
a link to one that looks very similar: http://bugguide.net/node/view/580926

House Spider (Achaearanea spp) sightings do not have a big wow factor but I
may not be the only one who did not know what was responsible for the messy
"cocoons" under the eaves until I saw this one emerging:

It spins its haphazard web overnight and then retreats back in its shelter
during the day.
