The Spider Myths Site: 

Myths, Misconceptions, and Superstitions About Spiders

http://www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/spidermyth

"Opinions expressed are ... [those of] Rod Crawford, Curator of
Arachnids, [at the Burke Museum located on the campus of the
University of Washington] ..founded on 30 years experience
working with spiders and misinformed humans." - from the website

The site is divided into a number of categories. General Myths
covers such fallacies as all spiders make webs and all arachnids
are spiders while the Identifying Spiders section sets the record
straight about the difficulties of identification. In the House
Spiders category, discover why the kind act of putting spiders
"back outside" may be cruel, whether they're dangerous to
children and pets and the facts on wolf spiders.

Weird Myths offers a riveting collection of creepy stories
including swallowing spiders while sleeping, flesh-eating "camel
spiders" and deadly spiders lurking under airplane toilet seats.
"Dangerous" Spiders reveals the truth about the terrifying
tarantula, aggressive Hobo spider and the frightening Brown
Recluse spider. The site also provides photos of those spider
favorites -- wolf spider, giant house spider and "pink toe"
tarantula as well as diagrams and maps.
