Thank you. I wish a great day to you too. I used to be repelled by some species when I was a kid, especially those with long thin legs ... and especially spiders. I liked them but no way I could be comfortable with them crawling on my skin, for example. Since I'm watching the spiders and insects through the macro lens, I find them beautiful and perceive them as any other kind of big animal. Cats, antelopes, wolves, mice, birds, elephants, and so on. Now you can put any kind of spider, scorpion, insect, or other small arthropod on my hand and I'll be like: " Wow. Cool! What a lovely creature. Can I bring it home and give it a name?"

I'm not there yet with regards to letting the bigger insects crawl on my hand.. but I reckon in time I may just get there. I now find it easy to gently and safely relocate them. They're definitely misunderstood as a whole. I'll happily carry a jumping spider anywhere it wants to go, though. I don't know what it is about them, but their cuteness factor is next level.. they're so intelligent too - love how they scope me out.
Yes. 😀 When it comes to arachnids, jumping spiders look like Gizmos among the Gremlins.
