Spider do sting,
and sometimes their sting is nastier than wasp, bees and hornets. And size isn't an indicator.
So, while I too encourage my kids to play with all insects, my rule for spider is "not with bare hands".
The same is true for scorpions, unless you are good enough to catch them by the tail, in this case they can only snap you with their pincers wich is scary but harmless.
My kids aren't that brave, though.
Anyway, kudos to the little guy.
