For Arachnophiles, the Australian Museum of Sydney offers this website dedicated to facts and artistic depictions of spiders and other arachnids found in Australia and around the world. Those new to the world of arachnids may want to start by checking out Spider Diversity or A Spider's Life. These sections provide overviews of the lifespan, origin, and variety of spiders. Interested in identifying a particular arachnid or just learning what different kinds of spiders look like? Check out Australia's Spider Fauna for close up photographs and detailed descriptions of select species. This collection includes a number of unique looking spiders that stray from typical conceptions of the eight legged creature. Another highlight of this website is Spiders in Art and Culture, which features religious stories relating to spiders and the role that spiders (and spider myths) have played in cultures around the world.
