    I did yelp. And it took me some time to trap it because I was terrified to touch it. I don’t have arachnophobia but I still find the big ones deeply unsettling

      Oh, I 100% understand that. Wanted to try handling a tarantula in a German pet shop, nearly fainted (knees got weak the instant I registered her on my skin, and I could tell she was not in any way aggressive…).

      On the other hand, I’ve had one of those massive cockroaches sniffing around on my face, and not even a twitch. I seldom understand my brain.
