I managed not to hurt it as I brushed it off.

    That’s really cool, and I’m sure a lot of people would rather have that kind of response.

    My wife and daughter and both pretty significantly arachnophobic. It’s interesting because we’re a pretty “sciency” bunch, and intellectually they think spiders are cool, but they have a visceral, extreme reactions to even little spiders that are too close.

    I have almost no fear of them as long as I know they aren’t especially venomous; I’ll regularly carry them outside in my hand. But that big thing scrambling up my chest so close to my face really got my heart working.
