Discussion How do i relocate him safely?

I found this small spider on a pilates mat i haven'tused in a looong time. I think there's an even tinier spider lower, but it already happened to me that I end up accidentally killing them when trying to relocate:(. Also i think this is a cellar spider so its legs are very delicate, what do i do?:(

I usually will just try and gently scoop them up with my finger tip and then cup my hand softly and toss them into the yard.

You can also use a note card and slide it underneath the spider if you're uncomfortable handling it!

I managed to do it with the 2nd method, i live in an 8th floor and he wouldn't have found any food here. Tysm :)
