Hey all, so a nice plump Orb Weaver (I believe) has visited my home, unfortunately they have placed themself in an unfortunate spot- between my two outdoor trashbins, which are frequently (once a week) taken to the curb for the trash pickup service
I want to relocate my friend, but I know some insects/arachnids can be fragile creatures, so I wanted to ask here before I do anything
Can I safely relocate this spider if I gently cup it in a plastic container? Is me doing this going to stress it out or disrupt its life enough that it dies?
If not, will it likely return to the same spot eventually? Should I take it super far away? If so, where would be the best place to put it so it's got the best chance of building a better home? I hate to destroy such a nice looking setup but I gotta take out my trash eventually 🥲
Here's some photos just for fun
