    Is there an app version of that or something similar for iOS/iPadOS? I use bird ID apps regularly.

    Would it be wrong to put a few in a jar with cotton soaked in alcohol or acetone to collect them?

    I could pin ’em to a piece of Styrofoam like I did with insects when I was in gradeschool.

    I had a coworker who used inaturalist a fair bit, and the times I watched them use it, it seemed to work fairly well?

    I haven’t used it myself, mostly because I’m old and cranky and don’t like downloading apps…

    Wrong from whose perspective & in what ways? The spiders would certainly think its wrong..

    What benefit(s) would be gained by it? Scientific and personal knoweldge I guess, educational use maybe but could that be aquired by other less destructive – at least to the spiders – ways? (E.g. photos and videos, live capture and cultivaton?)
