Question
Lynette, are you frassing these images so quickly because there is no possibility of identifying them beyond the family level? If not, I think that perhaps they should be left in ID Request or moved to the family page in the hopes that this contributor can obtain a more specific ID.

(I am going to go ahead and unlink the two sets of images as they are are obviously not the same spider since one is dead and the other is not.)

Good Question
I was frassing the dead spider. I should have unlinked these ones, though (like you did).
