Male California black tarantula, Aphonopelma eutylenum!

Third one I've ever seen. Put my hand down for a size reference but he wanted to crawl on me. Gloves for safety! I don't think he would bite me, this is a pretty chill species from what I've seen, but I do believe they have urticating hairs.

Giant spotted lacewing, Polystoechotes punctata

Found her in a parking garage and carried her outside. She bit me once on the way, it didn't hurt at all but I said ouch so she wouldn't feel embarrassed
