Not bad, the first two look slightly out of focus. But i would try getting to eye level with the beasties and take the shots at a low angle. :)

I never knew you could get blue ones ...

Wow, they are colourful. I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say I like the spiders per se, but the 3rd one is my favourite

The 1st one "says" f2.8 and the other 2 f/4
to me it looks like
#1) you may have been a bit close and not got the focus "spot on"
#2) the focal point seems to be accross the "right diagonal" the abdomen and left legs are a little OOF as the rear right, try a wider appature
#3) if you sharpen it a little more you can just see that rear L/H/S ( spider wise) legs are also just OFF it looks like the "angle" you were at try a wider appature
