 Zorocratid spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zorocratid spiders are uncommon, somewhat wolf spider-like, wandering spiders.
The eye arrangement is not like that of wolf spiders as the posterior eyes are not enlarged and the eyes are in two rows.
Little is known of their biology, but they include about 20 species in 5 genera found primarily in Africa, Madagascar, and North America.

 Spider - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Spiders, unlike insects, have only two body segments instead of three; a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax or prosoma) and an abdomen (called the opisthosoma), supported by a hard exoskeleton composed of mainly of chitin.
Spiders also have eight legs (insects have six), no antennae, and their eyes are single lenses rather than compound eyes.
While venom from either spider can be deadly to children and the infirm, since the development of antidotes to the venoms of both were developed (the funnel web spider in the mid-1980's and the wandering spider in 1996), no humans have died from their bites.

 Corinnid sac spider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The clubionoids are apparently similar only in that they have eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touch and are generally wandering predators that build silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks.
The "phurolithines" (including Phrurolithus and Phrurotimpus) are tiny spiders often found in leaf litter that have many ventral spines on their first tibiae.
The 'trachelines" (Meriola and Trachelas) are usually bicolored spiders with red-brown cephalothoraxes (carapaces) and dirty grey to yellowish abdomens.

Additionally spiders have pedipalps (or just palps), which are two appendages next to their mouths that aid in manipulating food and are used by the males in mating.
The Brazilian wandering spider (a ctenid spider) and the Australian venomous spiders such as the Sydney funnel-web spider (a mygalomorph only distantly related to the araneomorph funnel-web spiders) frequently bite people and are regarded as among the most dangerous in the world.

 Sac spider   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The sac spiders of the family Clubionidae have a very confusing taxonomic history.
Once this family was a large catch-all taxon for a large group of disparate collection of spiders, similar only in that they had eight eyes arranged in two rows, conical anterior spinnerets that touched and were wandering predators that built silken retreats, or sacs, usually on plant terminals, between leaves, under bark or under rocks.
However "sac spider" used on its own should imply a member of the family Clubionidae.

A golden silk spider (Nephila clavipes), member of the family Tetragnathidae There are many families of spiders, and the ways that they catch prey are diverse.
Brown Recluse (Photo courtesy of the University of Nebraska) Brown recluse spiders frequently wander about and so are more easily trapped against one's skin by clothing, bed sheets, etc. The so-called "aggressive house spider" or hobo spider (''Tegenaria agrestis'') is also a wanderer that may come into contact with people and bite.

The muscle system is more or less assisted by hydraulics originated from the blood pressure created by the heart.
The hydraulic system in spiders is especially well developed.
Most arthropods breathe through a tracheal system (exceptions are arthropods like sea spiders, Pauropoda, some thysanurans and some arachnids like many mites who breathe through their body surface instead); a potential difficulty considering that the skeletal structure is external and covers nearly all of the body.

 Spider - Gurupedia
The spider's respiratory anatomy is based on a tracheal system, with each opening to the trachea as an extension of an outer pore reaching from the spider abdomen, protected by spiracles which are pores in the spider exoskeleton, composed of
prey from a series of ducts perforating their jaws, These digestive fluids dissolve the prey's internal tissues.Then, the spider feeds by sucking the partially digested fluids out.
