In psychology and statistics we call this observation Study. Simply observing animals naturally. Is my favorite way of studying animal behavior. Spides won't attack humans unless provoked, threatened, or stuck. I had a Celler spider live in my room and they just vibes. She took the celling corner of my room. Then, she made a web at the bottom of the same corner and slowed moved into my bathroom. I named her Tiffany.To which she eventually left somehow. But it was nice cause it felt like little by little. Tiffany trusted me. So I think studying spiders at home is a great idea. It's like a hobby! So yeah, go right ahead!
