Where can I go to find out what kind of spider I found?

Question

I found a spider in my basement today and it looked kind of strange. I was wondering if there was a website I could go to so I can identify this spider.

Answer 1

whatsthatbug.com

Answer 2

There are more than 40,000 kinds of spiders, without counting Spiderman, who is probably on first name basis with all of them!
Before, I would say, check your library, but, hey, here is a website that might help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_spiders
Otherwise, just google, "types of spiders".
Good luck.
