    Sometimes I get these in the garage so I catch them with a container and put them back outside I used to be petrifying by spiders but I'm getting over my fear of them I think it's funny how they can jump when they run away from you seeing that I realised how silly I was for being scared of them

      I love to hear this! I’m much the same way; used to be afraid of spiders but have really come around to appreciate them. That fear is a hard thing to get past, well done!

    In pretty much every location that we visit, shining at night is a surefire way to come across some arachnids. Wolf spiders are so much fun to watch, they are perfect little predators and seeing a big one is always a treat during a night hike. Great discussion about their anatomy and their importance!

    One of my favorite spiders, we have “fiddle backs” here that we are careful to remove.

      Thanks Jake! This was actually all filmed in Ohio, but the species and techniques all pretty much apply for Missouri too!

    If you use a piece of gum attached at the end of thin string, you can "fish" them out from the holes they make

    What's the difference between these wolf spiders and grass spiders, with similar stripes on their back? Thanks

    • @lifeunderfoot4805
      @lifeunderfoot4805  4 года назад +1

      Hard to say because some of those little striped spiders in the grass are wolf spiders (like the one in this video). The eye arrangement of wolf spiders are very unique but you have to get pretty close to see that!

    0:40 nice a carolina wolf spider, rare find in ohio since most of their habitats have been lost to humans

    • @lifeunderfoot4805
      @lifeunderfoot4805  2 года назад

      Unfortunately no Hogna in this video - most of the bigger ones we filmed here were Tigrosa (likely aspersa). Coincidentally, I did run across H. carolina once on the northern part of this property but - as you say - they seem to be quite rare in Ohio.

    Not my favorite when I raise baby monarch catepillars. I have to carefully examine each part of the milkweed plant for them hiding along with earwigs, lacewings, assassin bugs, and some other strange aggressive catepillar-like predator that cuts their head off. Then there's tachnid fly and wasps that look for them as well. Nature is harsh. Very harsh for monarch catepillars to survive.

      I bet! Monarchs are lucky to have you looking out for them.

    • @lifeunderfoot4805
      @lifeunderfoot4805  3 года назад

      That's what I would call it, but I know some researchers feel strongly that Tigrosa species cannot be reliably Identified without a specimen under a dissecting scope.
