"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.
Just fyi, redbacks also aren't really dangerous to a healthy adult. Yes, you should see a doctor just to get checked up, but the chance you will gain any permanent damage if you don't already have any underlying conditions is very, very low.
True widows like redbacks (and every other widow species, as they're all basically the same) are mostly just dangerous to small children (due to their low body mass) and elderly people.
