Spiders Around the House

I found these spiders in or around my house in the last two years.

There was spider drama the other day. Unfortunately, my photos are crap and the video is hard to watch. Anyway, here goes. 

I spotted this web just outside the garage. A spider, visible as a tiny blob to the left of the rightmost plant stalk, was hanging from a support strand. I thought, "That's a big web for such a small spider to make." It didn't.

An hour later there were two additional, larger spiders. Well, one was present the whole time, right there in the center of the web. The Seek app identified it as a conical trashline orbweaver. These spiders decorate their webs with lines of prey parts, plant debris, and whatnot, and then they hang out at the center, looking like part of the trash. The third spider was on one of the support strands and seemed to pluck at it.

The tiny one, the web mistress, and the plucker

Every so often, the spider in the center would go to this third spider and fight or mate or something. With the excuse that wind is the bane of macrophotography, here's the plucker in action:
