Wannabe Entomologist Lisa Van Kula Donovan showed her calm nature when dealing with creepy-crawlies, in this video posted on June 21.

Van Kula Donovan can be seen gently handling “Kitty”, her huntsman spider, in the footage.

“I’ve been asked by a few people recently for tips on spider handling, and while I’m not the only spider-handling authority on Instagram (there are lots of us) I can show you how I personally make it happen,” she wrote in the caption. Credit: Lisa Van Kula Donovan via Storyful
