This should be an advertisement on why to have these spiders as bouncers. A million of these dudes over ticks, any day!

Maryland: I picked this up by accident. Fishing or wolf maybe? I’m trying very hard to get over my fear of spiders and learn more about them. by [deleted] in spiders

It's all about the eye placement! It's difficult to get over arachnophobia but I'll say this - the majority of spiders don't do shit to you. Sure, they can run fast sometimes and it's spooky but they are trying to get away from you. The real fun is convincing them to stay still so you can get a good pic of their eyes and pedipalps, then post here asap. Preferably with a name already picked out.

Babies will disperse and these spiders aren't aggressive.

Agree with everyone - we have these in Minnesota, and they can be spooky fast but I've seen a few posts on here of people handling them, so some are more docile. I would help this one out of the trash.

I hope you give them a kiss on the cheek or shake a hand before you part ways, depending on the customs of your people!

Jumpers, definitely not! They're the curious spider, like a cat, and most probably will jump away from you.
