The way she demonstrated the spider walking towards the mate killed me
I love watching your videos. Your commentary is fun
I have to say, that Madagascan Bark Spider is a smooth operator. He knows how to make the girls happy.
👀👀👀
All the other spiders mate like bugs but then you got the peacock spider that randomly mates like a freaking bird
The peacock spiders are my Vegas show girls
It's the MALE, that spreads that fan out.😂
Show boys!!!!
My arachnophobia is out of control and this doesn't help lol
So you click on a spider video, huh?
@@20alphabet What does that mean just because I don't like spiders doesn't mean I'm not interested in nature? LoTR Return of the King is my favourite film but I don't skip the Shelob scene 😄
@@yatesy117
Lol, you don't like spiders... so you click on a spider video, avoiding all other nature videos.
@@20alphabet I bet he watched those too c:
Me too, but Anne is so enigmatic I can’t help it 😂😂
That is really amazing! Thanks
The peacock spiders are definitely better dancers than Australia's Olympic break dancers.
They're like the arachnid version of Romeo and Juliet. Only, maybe not everybody dies at the end?❤😂❤
I love this lady what's her name
It's the wonderful Dr Ann Jones!
@@ABCScience I literally stopped watching your channel when she disappeared. Thankfully her podcasts got me through lol
Be careful u just saw the video
Next time she asks you to go get a bottle of milk from the shop remember she loves you. If I had less than 0000000.01% of the love this male spider has I would be a very happy man.
I have a question for you or anyone else who knows if you would be so kind to answer : Do spiders and other insects have a completely different perception of time than we do? Much appreciated and blessings from Scotland. 🙏🏴✌️
Exotics Lair tarantulas!
I wonder if the peacock spiders practice first
I've seen a male spider eat the female on RUclips...nasty business. Male Water Spiders are also known to eat the females too. Spider cannibalism is more the exception than the rule.
It’s actually not that often.
Is that a self defense thing?
Black widow spiders, too. The poor males get their heads bitten off.
Literally a one off.
wow... I never knew any of that about the spider! Death by Sex!
lm here after looking at an AliExpress add with an alien spider mating a preg. woman figure 😮 so ...
the "artist" name is "infested imagination"😅
He died doing what he love
I really like spiders. They eat flies, mozzies, and cockroaches, which is a big plus for me. I have been bitten once in my near 59 years, and that was when I was about 14 months old.
Hey, Ann, do you watch these. I watched a couple of male pythons fight for dominance for nearly an hour last month. There's some footage on my channel if you're interested.
Hope u find a m8/ss soon 😂
Shows the true nature of females in general.
There is way more women getting off to the idea than men anyway.
@@tonyrandall3146
Lol, I'm sure women masturbate while watching these female spiders viciously attack and kill the male.
Shows your true perception of women. Your perception will influence the way you treat women and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when they respond negatively to it.
So what’s your story? She not like you back in high school and you never got over it? Maybe you were the problem.
@@awright119021 it's a joke
😂😂😂
Your statement is irrelevant. Sex do not kill. If it did we would simply not be here. By omission, you failed to specify sometimes, you are lying here and this saddens me because you are mostly talking to young minds and it is supposed to be science, you mention it for God's sake! INTEGRITY, try to figure out the meaning.
Please get help
You're missing the point here, sex does kill but it does mean more of us are here. There is an evolutionary advantage to self sacrifice in the game of reproduction.
Think about it. Most species with cannibalistic females live annually and die off in the winter. The males get only a few chances to mate during autumn before the cold comes in to kill them. The males that escape the jaws of the females get to live a few more weeks, but they die regardless and don't continue to mate. Meanwhile, the males that do make the sacrifice get to have stronger children than the males that didn't sacrifice themselves, because he fed his own body to the female and thus his kids. So his kids will hatch out stronger and more developed than the male that didn't feed his children with his body, and his children will outcompete the children of the other male, spreading his genes further.
The trade off is, of course, being able to reproduce multiple times. That's why sexual cannibalism is much more unpopular in animals that live for many years, because being eaten to provide that one single batch of kids an extra boost isn't worth giving up mating over and over every single year. But for spiders that will only live a year, this is a non-issue, so it is hugely advantageous to them.
It’s the same way with humans. 3 of my buddies lives ended up worse than death after the bitches got done with them
What a lovely way to speak about women. I can't imagine why the relationships ended if your friends are anything like you 🤷♀️
@@awright119021 I love it when guys are like "all of my previous girlfriends were evil" and then you have a brief conversation with them and they are waving more red flags than an octopus being a bullfighter.
