It might be terrifying for them, but I'll capture some bugs if I can't get to them in their natural habitat.
For jumping spiders, I'll set my camera up in a well lit location outside, then I use a wine glass to scoop them up. With a 100mm macro and extension tubes, even the slightest movement puts the subject out of focus, so instead I'll leave the camera on it's tripod and move the glass to get the spider in focus. It's maddening because they rarely stay still for longer than a fraction of a second, but every once in a while, magic will happen.
I've just picked up a ring flash, so it may help me speed up my shutter speeds, but I've been pretty lucky with what I've been able to capture so far.

Older shot from my K10.
One of the first I took with the 100mm 2.8 macro. (here's the newer WR version)
