Putting a spider outside is not an act of kindness

[Catherine]

It might be a spider that would do well outside. You certainly put it in a good place.
It is warm enough where you are. You are out in the country so it is not like putting a spider outside in the city.

I know my long legged spiders can't go outside. If I have to relocate them, they can live in the basement or behind some old furniture.

You couldn't leave him killing bees in your window. If the spider was big enough to catch  moths, maybe he needed to be outside.
Let's hope he did okay.
