I'm thinking both are orb weavers like this one

I don't know where these things are all spring and early summer- they just seem to pop up fully grown in mid August and make webs across open places at night

i found out they are jewel spiders or cat face spiders (because of the design on them) and they are harmless. they hardly like to leave their webs aswell. so if you leave it alone i guess it'll mind it's own buisness.
