very big and colorful collection, im probably gonna make a collection video myself in a couple days too
Should be a load of fun!
WHY DID YOU KILL THEM
How else do you do this?
Why u pick the ugliest groups to say its your favorite
I totally understand your question! To you, they may be hideous, or grotesque, and while it may sound crazy, they are even more creepy up close. To me however, what intrigues me the most is not their beauty, but their diversity. I still admire and love the stunning and extravagant Arthropods, but when it comes to collecting, I find groups like diptera, and hymenoptera to be very interesting. Many flies and wasps actually happen to be pretty! I suggest you look into them deeper, friend!
cool bugs. I'd get a laserpointer though and perhaps edit a few shots (like one with the flies and a stationary camera, you tell something and then a shot where perhaps you hold the camera and point with the laser. A continuous shot tends to get messy, real fast, unless it is fixed in position (and then still it's not advisable). Seeing your hand go from left to right didn't do much for me. The lighting has similar issues - especially with the hand and the huge shadow it casts. Someone asked for labels, this is possible too. For now collecting and preserving bugs is going excellent, which is the most important I suppose. Best of luck!
Many of my specimens are labeled. The ones that aren't are due to the fact that my printer isn't compatible with my label template but all their locality data is saved. If y'all want shots on specific insects, lemme know, and I can make short videos of just those groups! Thanks for the feedback! I learn a lot from y'all!
This is an awesome collection you should definitely study entomology if your not already, where do you like to collect?
I'm from Texas, so that's where my specimens are based. I definitely think I'm gonna try to study Entomology professionally
@leifcollectsbugs I'm a horticulture and soil science major and I've taken entomology classes and worked with entomologists before it's a really great subject to study there are a ton of great job opportunities available especially if you like working with plants and animals.
Cool
Thanks!
does it burrow in the subtrate you use? if not, what do you use?
Burrows a little... More so just hides under it. Doesn't burrow burrow in my experience
Nice! But labels PLEASE. 🙂
I know! The data on my collection is saved! Don't worry!
Call her Georgia 😸
A perfect name!
Beautiful collection ❤
Thanks!
😅
Haha quite intimidating eh?
Uuummmmm.......😊🤔🧐🥴
Definitely a bit risky!
What’s the deal with this thing? I was looking at the M2(S) model on their website, but it just feels off to me. One of their images says “scen to use”, the actual images on the device they’re implying you’re getting with it seem totally fake. Also boasting “1600x magnification”, which just isn’t gonna happen with this thing I don’t believe. Especially for only $100. What’s the ACTUAL performance on this device? They’re showing slides of like, histology and adipose tissue I think, and crystal clear images of plant cells. I just don’t believe it, and their website seems cheesy. Also, it’s got a screen on it but it’s supposed to be detachable and portable. Isn’t it gonna be difficult to use like that to focus on anything with this massive screen making it top heavy and awkward?
The device is fairly light overall. The advertising is a bit dishonest I'd say. All footage I've posted with it is genuinely from the device as well as all photos shared. It can magnify a decent amount but nowhere close to the ability to see cells. And it's no where close in power to special equipment used in laboratories, but for a handheld, portable device, it's become useful in my everyday life and for the price, it definitely in my opinion, is worth every cent!
people act like as it if was a Loxosceles laeta, people are so dramatic
Chilean recluse...Yes, Americans live in their own little bubble. Next to a brown recluse, the scariest thing they encounter is the darkness when they turn out the lights... Exposed to nature, you will become more comfortable, but advertisements for pest companies and the conspiracy of the animals causing necrosis and skin rot combined with misinformation taught by parents, definitely obscures the truth of these animals. I'd even be willing to handle L. Laeta. They aren't aggressive. Only venomous.
But monarchs are going extinct !! 😣🥺
Misconception. Monarchs are fine. Migratory monarchs are in danger. There's a difference
With fastest reflex actions found it on google it's beautiful fly I have ever seen
If you're kind to your spiders they'll be fine with you.
For the most part, yeah! 100 percent!
Moço solta isso. Ai nos EUA nao tem sus não!!
I'm still killing it! 🧹👡🎾
Crazy! I didn't ask! 😂
Here in south Louisiana I was scraping and old camper. When I was ripping off the top, there were thousands of baby brown recluses all over the place.
Great place for them to overwinter!
Has anyone ever tried taking care of one of these? I've been lucky so far by giving one bearded dragon food (dead bugs basically) and spinach along with sprinkling water from time to time. It's cute when the harvestman lets me know it wants something by sitting near the opening. Once I either spray water or change the spinach, it returns to the back where it snuggles with its food. It's too cold to release it at the moment.
Plenty of care guides for harvestmen online!
People who have Arachnophobia just skipped this video i think 😳
Maybe!
Here in Arkansas we have lots of them in dry secluded places. Cardboard boxes in my storage barns seem to be their favorite. Had to catch a couple of them for a science class. Not easy. They are very shy and fast.
They love their cardboard! Hiding against the layers
Looks like Spiderman 1 the movie game
Hahaha I'm spiderman??
So incredible that you're able to hold it! Nice little informative video
Thanks so much! 🙏
I have many times checked the internet to compare when I've found an unknown brown spider. I'm glad to see this brown recluse being showcased in a way that isn't scary. Thank you!
Happy this helped alleviate some of the worry! Many people who want people to fear recluse are trying to sell a service like pesticides, etc. So be aware of bias in articles and videos!
I won't kill any spiders I know where all the webs are in my apartment and I'm very careful not to disturb the webs, I have lived with spiders for many decades and have never gotten bitten.
Yup! Cellar spiders like apartments and are completely harmless and recluse don't even live in half the United States, haha
I was sweating 😓 when you where letting the spider 🕷 crawl 😫 on your hand ✋️ 😒 😐
Haha, yeah it can be nerve racking!
😂😂😂 They are so cute.
Right?! More people needed to see this!
My grandparents live on a farm and grandma tended her herb garden a lot and dried the herbs in the barn. At some point bitten on the ankle by one, and it was misdiagnosed to the point it fully neceotized. It took 3-5 years before it no longer bothered her. So either be confident in your spiders, or confident your doctor isn't an idiot.
Brown recluse are one of the easiest spiders to identify if you do know your spiders. Take note of how mine looks now, and you'll never make the mistake again. Also, wear boots and closed toe shoes in a barn. Wild things happen in the wild! Also, most doctors don't know anything about spiders. They can't help with that. Privately learn to be confident on your own
She is wonderful.
Yes!
I held one once well actually one crawled on me in my sleep. I slapped it not knowing it bit me good in my groin area. 4 days later I ended up in hospital 105 degree fever severe infection. It was gruesome. Still love the spiders it wasn’t his fault. Oddly I’m in California where they don’t live. I had bought furniture from Ohio so that’s what we assume.
Interesting. Yeah, they don't occur in California at all
That looks like a male and they don’t have stingers.
Respectfully, you've got no damn clue what you're talking about 👍 Leave the educating to me, who has had the gender confirmed by experts
You are wrong they are in California and there bite is always nacrotic I have been bitten 3 times and yes they are not aggressive unless they are mating and I have seen them in north America I have had doctor's say that to me until I bring it in and they test it for the venom so people need to stop saying it is not in other states it is.
When did I say they occupied one state?? And no they aren't in California. You're wrong 😂 Everything you said was wrong LMAO
Been bit before. Had a nice lil abscess from it. Nothing real major...either that or a sac spider got me. But too much infection for a sac spider bite
Interesting experience. Sac spiders can be more aggressive than recluse however
Plot twist: the spider forced him to say all this under a threat of a deadly necrotic bite and then disposed of him and uploaded the video himself.
I promise I'm not a spider. I only have 8 legs
Lol
😂😂😂
Spiders are docile, they get scared a defend themselves like any living thing. Jumping spiders are how I got over my fear, and I too play with spiders
Jumping spiders are the perfect start for anyone!
Very chill spider. Just looks like he/she is trying to crawl off your hand and get somewhere cozy.
Definitely! These spiders like to hide out of exposure to the light. Makes them feel safe
😐….yea no, this spider is why my dad passed, i don’t like them
Brown recluse venom is often not fatal, so if he had a combination of other factors, that may have played a role
@@leifcollectsbugs Brown recluse venom is rarely fatal. The problem is the venom contains enzymes that eat away at human tissue, and that is what leaves the area vulnerable to a bacterial infection. Get a bacterial infection started in a deep wound, then you can have *serious* issues. Just took friend to ER now (which is why I am looking at recluse bites). He waited too long, 3 days in, his bite looks *horrific*
Not everyone can pick up a dangerous creature and not get bitten
I don't encourage anyone to do what I did. In my captions of my videos on my other platforms, I say don't try at home. Good point, but I'm just as for safety
Thanks for correcting the common misinformation ❤
Always!
Try that with a wolf spider and then I’ll be impressed.
I handle wolf spiders every day... It's one of the easiest of my feats
Wolf spiders aren’t even scary 😂
@@LexaJ828 that's what I'm saying.
Rispect, I salute you 🫡
Respect you too brother
One time a girl in my tent at guides go bit by a brown recluse she rolled on it and it bit her before dying I quit guides after that
That's insane! And here I am handling it
Sorry spiders are on a crush first identify second routine in my house.
Understandable, not respectable
You brave
Haha, this ain't all that much
Your neck is now itchy ah video
You feel something moving in your shirt
So scary badass spider 😮
Yes! Amazing spiders!
That looks like the bug that is walking on my living room carpet right now.
Haha, they don't typically like the indoors
@leifcollectsbugs this one couldn't fly and then it had trouble walking.i put it outside. Surprised to see it in December.
May have been affected with pesticides and was likely a mud dauber
This reminds me of when one of my familys friends had an issue with one of their cypress bonsai. The bonsai seller didnt know what it was and the tree on the line was a few thousand dollars. They took a picture and sent it to my mom stating "show him this, im sure he'll know what it is"
Haha, you had to come in clutch!
