Found at Lokobe National Park, Nosy Be, Madagascar, on 22 February 2020. Hope anyone can help with identification.
Thanks, Mark Eising (markeisingbirding.com)
I wonder if this is not one of the Sparassidae in the recently erected genus Thunberga (after Greta Thunberg) with speckeled patterns on the abdomen and typical white patch in the central prosoma
I have no clue, but it could be
T. malagassa or
T. nossibeensis (both found on Nosy Bé)

The last one is a Darwin's Bark Spider
Caerostris darwini - they are thought to build the strongest and largest webs.
For the first one I have no clue and the second one is a jumping spider (Salticidae) - and I don't have any source to to look up for Madagascar, perhaps subfamily Lyssomaninae (Asemonea, Goleba, Macopaeus, Pandisus)
