Salticidae: Diagnostic Drawings Library: Lyssomanes viridis

Lyssomanes viridis from Florida
Some pictures of both sexes and natural history information as well.

Nephila Clavipes
University of Florida writeup on Nephila Clavipes.

Jumping Spiders of America North of Mexico
An excellent resource on Salticidae that continues to be updated by Wayne Maddison. Be sure to check out the photo album of genera.

Nearctic Spider Database
The Nearctic Spider Database aims to consolidate images, distribution maps, and species descriptions for all species of spider found in North America.

DMNS-Colorado Spider Survey
Lots of interesting information about collecting and preserving spider specimens in their newsletter, which is available on their website.

Spiders of California
This is an authoritative checklist that aims (pretty much successfully) to list every species of spider ever recorded from California, along with synonyms, range (given in terms of counties) and citations of references in the taxonomic literature. It won't tell you how to identify any spiders, nor will it tell you anything beyond classification and range of species- but it will tell you the names and synonyms of species in a given county so you can look them up elsewhere.

Visually Identifiable Spiders
A handy list of spiders that can be recognized by their appearance alone. The brevity of the list should also serve as a warning that often we just can't be sure without having an expert look at a specimen.
