Garden-spider and trap-door spider "Some spiders, like the Ctenizae, close the mouth of their subterranean resdence with a most ingeniously-constructed trap-door, which the inhabitant closes with the utmost pertinacity when any attempt is made to invade the privacy of his domicile. Hence these, of which several species are found in the south of Europe and on the shores of the Mediterranean, are generally known as Trap-door spiders." — Goodrich, 1859
Garden-spiders "Some, of which the Common Garden Spider, Epeira diadema is an excellent example, construct a beautiful net, composed of stout radiating lines, intersected at tolerably regular intervals by circular filaments." — Goodrich, 1859

Mygale "The spiders with which we in temperate climates are most acquainted are of small size, but in hot regions there are several species whose extended legs occupy a circle of six or seven inches in diameter. Some of these, belonging to the genus Mygale, found in South America and Mexico, are said to attack young humming-birds, and to climb trees for this purpose." — Goodrich, 1859
Mygale Fodiens Mygale fodiens, part of the Arachnidia class.
Pseudoscorpion A small arachnid that resembles a scorpion.
Scorpion Scorpions are found in warm climates, reaching their greatest size in tropical America and Africa.
Scorpion Scorpions are characterized by having a distinctly segmented abdomen, which passes into the cephalothorax, without any well-marked line of boundary.
Scorpion "This order, sometimes called the Pedipalpi, or feet-feelers, and which derives its name from the Greek polus, many mera, divisions, and somata, bodies, includes two families, the first of which is the Scorpiondae, characterized by their elongated tail-like abdomen, armed at its extremity with a sort of hooked claw, which, when the creatures are in motion, is always carried over the back in a most threatening attitude." — Goodrich, 1859
Scorpion The name of an extensive genus of insects, native to the warm climates of both hemispheres, and belonging to the same family as the spiders.

Spider A spider in a web
Spider "Bird-catching Spider, a name originally given to a large spider, Mygale avicularia, a native of Cayenne and Surinam; but which is now more extensively applied, being equally appropriate to a number of large species of Mygale and Epeira, berhaps also of other genera. It has, indeed, been denied by some observers that the name is truly appropriate, but the positive evidence is too strong to be easily set aside by evidence merely negative." — Chambers, 1881
Spider Web A spider and its web.
Cross Spider A name for the common British garden spider.
Jumping Spider The body of a spider consists of two parts, connected by a constricted waist, the unsegmented cephalpthorax and a large, soft, unsegmented abdomen.

Spinnerets of a spider "The most remarkable organs perceptable on the abdomen of the spiders are the spinnerets, by means of which they spin their curious and often beautiful webs, which have attracted the attention and excited the admitation of mankind in all ages. These spinnerets are little teat-like organs, placed close to the extremity of the abdomen, on its lower surface." — Goodrich, 1859
Tarantula "The most celebrated of the Lycosidae is the Tarantula, Lycosa tarantula, of Southern Europe, whose bite is supposed by the natives of Italy to cause death, unless the patient be relieved by music and violent dancing." — Goodrich, 1859
Tarantula "The Tarantula is a large spider, with a body about an inch in length; its bite was formerly supposed to produce Tarantism, and doubtless in some cases, produces disagreeable symptoms. It is a native of Italy, but varieties, or closely allied species, are found throughout the S. of Europe. The tarantulas of Texas and adjacent countries are large species of Mygale."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
