I always pick them up with a tissue and release rather than crawl on me....strange as I let Ts do it. Orb weavers however I adore for their industry. There was one that set up home right in the middle of my lounge window frame (on the ojtside). It was almost saying to me....feed me....so I started to give it crickets on the web. Excellent little hunters and was awesome to watch. Plus I think it was the fattest spider on the street....lol. went missing one day never to bE seen again. Probably a tasty treat for a bird. I was actuallt sad not to see it again. I do have a videology of it huntil and feeding to remind me. . Even the neighbourhood kids would watch it feed.....lol</p></blockquote><p></p>
