Keen pics! Is the Thread-Legged Bug a True Bug (Hemiptera) or is the person who gave it that common name it just trying to trigger one of my pet hates by calling anything tiny with six (or god help them, eight) legs a Bug?!!
btw- love the Salticid. Trivia: Jumping Spiders tend to not trigger The Screaming Heebies in even the most hardcore of arachnophobes- it's prolly something to do with the fuzzy chops and huge eyes triggering the inate "awww, protect the cute baby mammal!" reflex we carry around in our Reptile Brains...
