honestly i have to wonder if at some point spiders will evolve to actively avoid spooking us, i wanna live in a world where orbweaver spiders have the instinct to wait in specific places (like middle of the windows) where we pick them up and move them to a spot where they can set up a web and catch flies for us.
Comment on i'm your god now.

For me the catch and release vs squash with my shoe dilemma comes down to one variable: how close to crawling upon my person where they when I noticed them

I never squash spiders. They’re either my buddies and they catch insects that get into the house, or they’re entirely too large to squash; they’d make a mess. If my wife sees a spider and gets scared, I put it outside. It helps that there are no (common) venomous spiders where I live.
Mosquitos, crane flies, flies, and wasps are all fair game though.
