I had a spider crawl in my preamp A Problem?

I didn't know if I should post this but Oh Well Here Goes.
I sent out to have my CJ PV-5 Preamp's top cover to have it professionally chromed at a plating shop.I had turned on my tubes and noticed something crawling across one of my yellow caps,and sure enough it was an hugly little spider.
Can a spider short out anything in the preamp,or is the only thing that is being shorted out is his own life.

For the sake of Mother Nature you must immediately put it onto a rubber shoes!

Most spiders like techno music, so please have a little consideration with your musical selections.

I agree with sdcambell, spider alive - no harm done. But if the spider had gotten between B+ and ground - it would - IMHO - be like a convicted killer in an Electric chair - dead person/spider - but the Equipment (your preamp and the electric chair) would still work.
