Den, back then, we discovered that if you pull spiders legs off, they can no longer walk.
As a group, we went around collecting frogs,toads, sloworms, newts. At one point, i brought home a bucket of newts and they got out. I found most of them sitting in the drain outside the house. The bucket of crabs also got out and hid all around the garage. They began to smell after a few days dead.
