We all like to know what it is we have seen but if a species has to be killed in order to confirm an ID then it sort of defeats the objective of enjoying the creature in the first place.

i'm not bothered about the latin name of some spider enough to go to those lengths.

The majority of us aren't biologists but just interested laymen who have a passion for wildlife.

Thanks, Scholesy (Man Utd fan by any chance? ) ... I can only agree with everything you said ...
