  • September and October are two great months to observe spiders hard at work in the midwest. Using the Sony a6300 and the 55 - 210 lens, we'll be observing these amazing creatures up close and personal. We'll also be using a +2 closeup filter to ease our way in to get an even better look.

    I was observing a spider one day outside in her web and wanted to see how they react when prey is caught. Unable to find a suitable goody for her to eat, I picked up a small leaf and tossed it into the web. I’ve never seen anything move so fast. She dropped down immediately and saw that it wasn’t prey. What she did next blew my mind - she bit the strands holding the leaf in, got hold of it and dropped it to the ground. I guess she didn’t want anything in her web that would cause prey to fly around it or make it detectable. Your video is beautifully done, with excellent information.

      That's incredible Gabe! They are so much more in-tune with their surroundings than most of us (including myself) think. Thanks very much for watching.

    Nick, ive gotta tell you bro,.. which you already know this,. But this is next level. Watched it twice in a row. The music, the editing, the voice, and the appreciation for things that 90%of people dont even notice. Its like watching planet earth, with a better narrator.

    Did anyone else think he was putting a flame to her web before you found out it was a moth? 😂😂😂

    My wife says I lie but I swear if I give the spiders on my trail the time, they have actually rolled the web up let me pass and lower the web. This has happened many times.

    A spider cannot just Willie nilly its way across its own web they must know the type of silk by touch. Walk the supports catch food with the sticky stuff.

    This was a beautiful video! I appreciate the way you talk about her as more than just a pest or creepy thing like most others do. Spiders are amazing little animals and this video captured that perfectly!

      As a gardener, I love spiders, and hate the butterflies and moths they prey on, that hatch their swine offspring on my crops they then ruin

    I mean you do not understand why people kill spiders, but you kill a butterfly or whatever that is to feed her dafuk

    I’ve had a spider living on my back porch for about 6 months. I check on him every day. Not sure the type of spider he is. But the web he’s build is absolutely stunning

    Nick: I don’t know how can people kill spiders.
    Proceeds to kill an insect and feed it to the spider.

    "It really confuses" you when people kill spiders but it does not confuse you when you kill a moth. Why all this insect discrimination lol !?

    • @NickSchrader
      @NickSchrader  3 года назад +1

      I do suppose I'm guilty of assisting in a moth murder here lol, but I was more so referring to people killing them for no reason when they are outside just living their lives, simply because they don't like them. The spider will catch its prey regardless of whether or not I assist with it. But I do understand your position. Thanks for watching!

    I’m doing quarantine with my 8 year old. On a walk we observed spider “nets” that were speckled with raindrops. There were several every two feet or so. I believe they create a web tunnel in the plant/hedge. We had a discussion about how they wrap their prey and your video was gorgeous and perfect! Thank you for being part of our science lesson”, much gratitude 🙏🏽🕸🕷

      Thanks for watching Trista! I love it when the little rain droplets gather on the webs. A perfect photo opportunity! I'm so glad you both enjoyed the video, and I hope you and family continue to stay safe while we all work our way through this time. Take care!
