I was watching that, and I thought… you know they jump, right? And then I was all like, oh yeah now you do.

The glass method is the one I use, too. Often I use a sheet of paper to coerce or give a surface for it to go to.
I like spiders so I always try to rescue them before they become unwilling cat toys.

You’re the “official” vermin killer in your household, is that it?

Ah, catch and release; I get it.
I’ve been both wrangler and exterminator for my households; while I was growing up, and as an adult.
My personal vermin removal code goes something like this:
Benign/useful insects, birds and the occasional bat get a pass; if it’s possible to get them out alive and unharmed, that’s what I try my best to do.
If it’s roaches, silverfish, centipedes* or mice that have encroached upon my domicile, then they are “not long for this world.”
If it’s rats, then I’m fucking moving: ASAP.

After nasally picking up non-insects for 1:25 minutes, she proclaims, while picking up a millipede, "… critter catcher can safely pick up all kinds of insects, including worms, daddy-long-legs… ".
Shame she mentions a few actual insets after that or it would have been a clean break.
It would have to be a very big glass indeed to fit over a huntsman.
But getting close to them is supposed to be the fun part! Isn’t that this “intimacy” humans speak of?
