Looks like Rainiera calceata (Micropezidae), but I wouldn't call that "big"...

I thought so too. At least the black transverse bands point to Rainiera.

Yup. Also had a male from your sample of 8 June. Sundew, compared to any other micropezids these Rainieria ARE big, and even on a general scale you can hardly call them small.
