Huntsman spiders, members of the family Sparassidae, catch their prey by hunting rather than in webs. They are also called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places. In southern Africa the genus Palystes are known as rain spiders or lizard-eating spiders. Commonly, they are confused with baboon spiders from the Mygalomorphae infraorder, which are not closely related.
The Araneomorphae are an infraorder of spiders. They are distinguishable by chelicerae (fangs) that point diagonally forward and cross in a pinching action, in contrast to the Mygalomorphae, where they point straight down. Araneomorphs comprise the vast majority of living spiders.
The Pholcidae are a family of araneomorph spiders. The family contains more than 1,800 individual species of pholcids, including those commonly known as cellar spider, daddy long-legs spider, carpenter spider, daddy long-legger, vibrating spider, gyrating spider, long daddy, and angel spider. The family, first described by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1850, is divided into 94 genera.
Crevice weaver spiders (Filistatidae) comprise cribellate spiders with features that have been regarded as "primitive" for araneomorph spiders. They are weavers of funnel or tube webs. The family contains 18 genera and more than 120 described species worldwide.
Hexathelidae is a family of mygalomorph spiders. It is one of a number of families and genera of spiders known as tunnelweb or funnel-web spiders. In 2018, the family was substantially reduced in size by genera being moved to three separate families: Atracidae, Macrothelidae and Porrhothelidae.
Psechridae is a family of araneomorph spiders with about 70 species in two genera. These are among the biggest cribellate spiders with body lengths up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) and funnel webs more than 1 metre in diameter.
Dyschirius subarcticus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Scaritinae. It was described by Lindroth in 1961.

Pityohyphantes, commonly known as hammock spiders, is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1929. The name comes from the Ancient Greek Πίτυς (pitys), meaning "pine", and hyphantes, meaning "weaver".
Tubercithorax is a genus of sheet weavers that was first described by K. Y. Eskov in 1988.
Habronattus conjunctus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is found in the United States and Mexico.
Acanthepeira stellata, known generally as the starbellied orbweaver or starbellied spider, is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in a range from Canada to Mexico. It is most commonly found along the Eastern and Western coastline of North America.
Pityohyphantes tacoma is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States.
Mastophora phrynosoma is a species of orb weaver in the spider family Araneidae. It is found in the United States. Like all known species of the genus Mastophora, adult females are bolas spiders, capturing their prey with one or more sticky drops at the end of a single line of silk rather than in a web. Males and juvenile females capture their prey directly with their legs.
Pityohyphantes minidoka is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States.
Scytodes fusca, the brown spitting spider, is a species of spitting spider in the family Scytodidae. It is found in Central and Southern America, has been introduced into Europe, tropical Africa, Seychelles, Myanmar, China, Japan, and Hawaii.
Phidippus comatus is a species of jumping spider in the family Salticidae. It is found in North America.
Pityohyphantes rubrofasciatus is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States and Canada.
Pityohyphantes costatus, the hammock spider, is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States. Its name comes from its webs resembling hammocks.
Pityohyphantes cristatus is a species of sheetweb spider in the family Linyphiidae. It is found in the United States.
