No. I am afraid. I can pick up lizards, frogs, snakes, bugs---but spiders give me the shivering creeps!! After my divorce-that was one of the things I had to get used to--killing my own spiders. LOL. Anything else--like crickets--I will carry outside, but I'm too afraid to carry out spiders. Sometimes they JUMP!!! So, I say, "Sorry--you shouldn't a come in the house." I don't even like to see pictures of them. If they are outside, their webs are fascinating, tho.
