    Interesting - here in Australia we have deadly spiders so spider
    catching is very dangerous. Some species can kill within 1/2 hour.
    So if any reader comes here - avoid spiders just like sharks, feral pigs,
    feral water buffaloes, crocodiles and our lovely venomous snakes!

    they're so fast in spinning their webs, it takes them literally nanoseconds to web it

    I admire spiders and appreciate that they eat many of the bugs that would torment me. But I don't want them on me or interacting with me.
