Since living in the mountains I’m actually *starting* to get used to spiders. I still don’t go near them, but I also don’t have minor panic attacks every time I see one across the room any more. :)

Jam jars definitely work too when kids can be trusted not to break their jars. Maybe when my toddler’s a little older!

Thanks! I’m sure they’d be nicer for bigger bugs, but so far I’ve only allowed lady bugs and roly pollies! I was going to let them put a spider in there, but the transfer from glass to bug house was so nerve-racking for me that we ended up just throwing the spider outside.
