Just some really awesome spiders

I recently had the pleasure to travel to Victoria, Canada, and spend some time on a rural property.  Every evening I did the spider tour, walking around to the various buildings and looking for spiders. I didn't have to look very hard, the density of spiders was incredible. There are a few photos here courtesy of my mother as well, the daytime ones, that are far superior quality.  I am not much of a photographer, and these are all cellphone shots, but I think they are pretty cool. Enjoy!

Caught a fly - I think these guys are Spoke Wheel Spiders or Segestriidae pacifica.

Spider meets isopod - Segestriidae pacifica

You can see the obvious pedipalp boxing gloves of the male.
