Narrative:

Departed bayview airport XX30 local time. Departed traffic pattern from crosswind and heading south to renton. While climbing through 800 ft on southerly heading a very large spider swung down from overhead above my glareshield. While climbing and trying to kill the spider between 2 sectionals, he escaped down by my legs. After finally subduing and killing him, I realized I had just flown through the outside ring of the whidbey island NAS arsa without contacting whidbey approach. Now I was well south of the arsa, I continued the flight and decided it was a little late to contact whidbey approach.
