If I find any creatures such as spiders and wasps in the house I catch them and release them into the garden. It is interesting to observe their behaviour for a while though; they all behave the same.
I catch them in the usual way with a container and a piece of card. They all walk methodically round the perimeter of the container, feeling it with their little feet. When they realise they can't get out the spiders sometimes climb up into the container and make a web.
I know wasps chew up wood to make paper to build their nests.
Recently I caught a Queen wasp who, after a lot of exploring round the container, decided she could perhaps eat her way out by burrowing through the piece of card and she proceeded to try and chew it up. Her jaws were opening wide and scraping over the card.
