unsorted Spiders

Green jumping spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mopsus_(genus) (Tropical. A personal favorite.)

Portia spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portia_(genus) (A spider with a staggering array of tricks for getting prey.)

Brown recluse spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_recluse_spider (Infamous for its necrotic venom, which must be far more problematic without modern medical care. Often mistaken for other species, but can be identified by the number of eyes: six.)

Six-eyed sand spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-eyed_sand_spider (Related to the above, rumored to be even more dangerous, although its desert habitat means it is less likely to come into contact with humans.)

Spitting spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting_spider (One of the fastest attackers in the animal kingdom. Sprays prey with sticky venom from afar.)

Ladybird spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eresus (An attractive species that's sadly endangered in Britain, although common as muck in Europe.)

Assassin spider / Pelican spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeidae (Tiny, buy staggeringly bizarre appearance. Tropical.)

Ogre-faced spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinopis (A generic representative of Deinopis. Found in forests worldwide.)

Smiley faced spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasteracantha_cancriformis (An orb weaver with interesting back patterns. Presumably the opposite of above.)

Garden spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_garden_spider (Essentially a stand-in for any common orb weavers.)

Star-bellied orb weaver http://www.uky.edu/Ag/CritterFiles/casefile/spiders/orbweavers/orb.htm#star (Interesting back plates. From Florida.)

Money spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linyphiidae (Tiny, but incredibly numerous.)

Golden orb-web spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephila_clavipes (Not technically an orb weaver, but a large distinctive species none the less.)

Black widow spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectus_hesperus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latrodectus_mactans (There are a bunch of widow spiders so I picked the two most famous, which are, not coincidentally likely the most dangerous.)

Redback spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redback_spider (Similar to American widow spiders. Considered medically significant, although deaths are rare, even without antivenin)

Wandering spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_wandering_spider (Almost certainly the most dangerous spider. Aggressive, fearless and very poisonous. "Laboratory mice subjected to P. nigriventer venom experienced intense penile erections before succumbing to the toxin." - Wikipedia)

Wolf spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider

No-eyed big-eyed wolf spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kauai_cave_wolf_spider

Lynx spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_spider

Fishing spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomedes

Huntsman spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_spider (Large, fast moving and occasionally aggressive tropical species, that presents no real danger, besides car crashes when they drop into people's laps, while driving. Large specimens are found in caves.)

White lady http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucorchestris_arenicola (Unusual desert relative of the huntsman spider which cartwheels down sand dunes to escape predatory wasps)

House spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegenaria_domestica

Water spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_bell_spider

Scorpiones (scorpions)

Emperor scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_scorpion (Tropical. Largest species, but not dangerous.)

Fat-tailed scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fattail_scorpion (Lives in Deserts. Dangerously venomous with a very powerfully muscled stinger. There are many varieties - this is a generalised species)

Deathstalker scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathstalker (Deserts. Aptly named)

Spitting scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabuthus_transvaalicus (Sprays venom from its tail, like an honest-to-god Transformer. Quite dangerous, even without this ability. Video here http://s146.photobucket.com/albums/r264/galapoheros/?action=view&current=DSCN9794.flv )

Desert hairy scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_desert_hairy_scorpion (Large, but nonthreatening species from the Americas)

Dark cave scorpion http://bugguide.net/node/view/34626 (Cave-dweller often communal. Venom was not mentioned, so I'm going to assume it isn't deadly. Don't do this at home, kids!)

Yellow-tailed scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euscorpius_flavicaudis (Can be found in temperate zones. Not dangerous at all.)

Solifugae (camel spiders)

Solifuge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solifugae (Generalised all-purpose solifugid or wind scorpion, or camel spider or whatever you want to call it)

Amblypygi (tailless whip scorpions)

Tailless whip scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblypygi (Not to be confused with below. Not venomous/dangerous to anything larger than itself. Can be found in tropical caves. Likes to snuggle, apparently: http://www.livescience.com/animals/070319_sweet_spiders.html)

Thelyphonida (whip scorpions)

Whip scorpion / Vinegarroon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelyphonida (Can spray an unpleasant acidic solution at interlopers)
