Just put the jar outside and let the spiders crawl out on their own.
A spider expert just wrote to say if you see small things floating in the air near trees, they are tiny spiderlings that are dispersing. So this is the time of year they move into wintering places.

Thank you, Moni. I was hoping he was not a nasty fellow. I appreciate your reply.

Your photo is of a spotted orbweaver spider. The orbweaver spiders have the neatly woven webs that look very precise and organized. They are all over the woodlands, especially in the fall. They hang with their heads down.
As with most spiders they are predators on other insects.
This fall we have seen literally thousands of these along the roadsides.
Since you are in the south, this website from the Univ of Florida might be of interest.
