The large spiders are males in 2 pictures. The modified palp can be seen in one 
picture. This is a spider of the family Agelenidae, most likely a species of 
Tegenaria. These are funnel web weavers, but males are out looking for females 
now. The small spider is a member of the family Oecobiidae. Not sure if a male 
(tip of palp can't be seen clearly, but doesn't look modified) and looking for 
a female, but they will crawl about to find a better website sometimes. The 
large, plump insect is a fly, member of the family Psychodidae, known as moth 
flies. This one could be Clogmia albipunctata. Small, slender moth is the last 
specimen but not sure if a tineid.

EXTERNAL SENDER

I've been finding two types of spider in multiple traps. One is on average 
about 15 mm and is reddish brown (001 and 002) the other is about 4 mm and 
translucent (003). Because I'm finding multiple examples of each I'm wondering 
what they are and do they indicate any particular issues with our storage. I 
also have 2 new specimens (to me) 004 is 1 cm in length and 005 is 4 mm across. 
Could 004 be a springtail?
