Hello new here, I found some pretty neat looking spiders today, hoping I can get an identification on them and maybe some background? They were both found indoors. Thanks.

The first spider is a funnel weaver (family Agelenidae) in the genus Tegenaria, commonly known as barn or house spiders - http://www.cirrusimage.com/spider_barn_funnel_weaver.htm
The second one is a woodlouse spider, Dysdera crocata. It has large fangs it uses to puncture the tough 'skin' of its prey (woodlice, pillbugs, sowbugs, etc.), and can have a painful but not dangerous bite - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodlouse_spider
