William Shatner in Kingdom of the Spiders?  This would have been between the Original Star Trek TV series and before the Star Trek movies.  I guess he couldn't get away from those weird looking co-stars. like the Klingons, Romulans, Andorians, Balok, etc.

Now that's a big freaking spider.  The guy needs a much larger container and possibly some help, because even if he gets the spider in the container, it could merely jump out as the guy climbs down.  He needs someone with a lid to slip over whatever he catches the spider in to make sure it stays inside.

Mud Dauber Wasps reproduce by building tubular nests out of mud, then going out and gathering spiders by paralyzing them then sealing them inside the nest with an egg. The offspring will then consume the paralyzed spiders when it hatches.

Having mastered the use of surface tension and using himself as bait, he appears to be an accomplished fisherman.
