I have photographed and filmed a spider which I have never seen before (it looks like a butterfly, but does not fly). Where can I find out if this species is known to man?

Okay, i've done some research by myself. Here is a short video of the Butterfly spider
and the Genus name should be Micrathena

Here is the pic, it matches with the one on You Tube. Amazing animal, one that could take away the fear of those that hate spiders. Thanks for your research.
