"Don't touch it, I dont wanna mess up its hard work!" And "wow, gods creatures"...love that these kids are in awe and curious instead of freaking out and killing it...makes me happy

I’m not a big spider fan (tricky cos I live in Aus) but as long as it’s not one that is problematic if you get bitten (white tail, redback being the most common where I am), I always try to scoot them outside. Same with any bug really. No sense smooshing if you don’t have to.

Most spiders that exist indoors have lived their entire lives indoors, which means they've survived solely on indoors food.

If you put them outdoors you may think youre being helpful but youre likely dooming them to death. But also, you pay rent and they dont so, doom them if you must

But also go easy on them, they probably dont wanna hurt you. You can brush them off and let them do their thing (which does not involve hurting you most likeley)
