Never seen spiders like this before in my back yard. Can anyone enlighten me as to what they each are? The black one was attacking the brown one, then sat back and watched it die. Black one was between 2 and 3cm, brown was maybe 4cm

The black one could be a False Widow. The other one seems like a common Garden Spider.

Thanks, yes that looks like a false widow. It was certainly a scary looking thing
