I found a beautiful spider the color of a bright apple turned pearly green, whom I named Oscar after a dog I know so I made him an indoor house containing a curly stick, two leaves, and a living plant, all in a Persian shaped jar rubber banded closed with a silk scarf that I lifted off every day, so as to drop in several kinds of juicy bugs, every one of which Oscar wrapped up and drank dry, and so as I opened the jar one day Oscar bit me; I let him go.    nancymauerman.com
