Spider-taxi rescue box

Catch a spider against the wall and slide a card in to carry it outside

For people who like spiders outside and want them to stay alive. Put the open box over the spider on the wall or floor, slide a postcard in through the slot just under the rim, and it runs along the grooves inside to close the box completely. Carry the spider outside, pull the card and let it go. No squashing, no legs caught under the rim, and you never have to get close.
