RE: Nature At Our Doorstep - Learning At Our Fingertips
I don't think we ever get entirely comfortable with these things, but learn to compartmentalise.
No marks, thankfully the gloves took it all. I just felt the pressure, which surprised me. The back of the gloves is actually just cotton, so I'm glad it didn't bite down there! Usually if you touch a leg it moves away and I was trying to get it into the dustpan to move it. I touched the leg and it grabbed my finger with all legs and chomped down, making me jump. My daughter ran squealing across the garden! Glad I was wearing the gloves, but I may not have been so brave without them anyway.
Oh my goodness I just visualized what happened and I probably would have fainted. I can’t imagine seeing a spider grabbing me with all eight legs...yikes! I’m so glad you had on those gloves.
