The Easy way to catch a tarantula?

[Liseli]

...Taranculas scare me the second I see them. They're like, "Pet my poisonous fur, you inferior human!" And I'm like, "O_O...*runs away*" I AM TOO SCARED D:

Every time I have seen them I have just walked into them and then they start in walking in circles around at my feet (not holding net); when I have tried to move away so that I am in striking distance they have run off and committed suicide.

I have seen two scorpions and both times they have committed suicide in near by ponds .

Am i weird that I had a pet tarantula?

I tried the circling around town trick last night. I fell asleep once, and then came across two scorpions(or perhaps just one, because the second scorpion was in almost the exact place as the first one.)

The first time I followed it behind a tree because I had thought it had despawned. Bad idea. Got stung. The second time I almost had it. I had snuck up behind it ever so carefully...and then it turned around, I panicked, and it stung me.

But at least I'm actually seeing them! Before I'd wonder around town and never see them.
