@EmmaCollins C. veruculata confirmation here based on the young which have full abdomen view. General colouration and patterns of what is visible of the adult matches other sightings, and the legs (not of the cricket/prey) seems usual for length. Let me know if you'd prefer to keep it at genus!

Cryptachaea veruculata

I think this one's probably Cryptachaea gigantipes actually. There's a darker form, and I'd expect to see shorter legs for C. veruculata. But without a clear photo of her back, I'll leave it at genus.

Yes female is larger longer spider. Long Jawed spider females may mate with multiple males but the last male to mate is most likely to be successful - so there is an advantage in hanging around in the near vicinity

Not the most confident that it's a Badumna, but hard to tell as it's very young
