I don't have a love relationship with spiders. I admire your coolness, Sumi.
Often, the natural world gets along with its business just fine with us as simply environmental objects, likely to be ignored.
I knew a guy once who had his garage catch on fire. He lived out in the middle of rolling hills and wheat fields. He called the fire department.
Apparently, not knowing what to do alone with the fire and unsure of the directions he gave over the phone, he drove down his driveway about 500 yards to the main road.
Approaching the intersection, he discovered a bee in his pickup cab. He promptly drove off the road into his neighbor's pond!
When the fire truck came along, he flagged it down. He said he was telling them to hurry because he was afraid the fire would spread to his house. A fireman reached over and hit him ... calmed him right down.

We did not see any frogs last summer.
