This is my Nephila (Golden silk orb-weaver). She's harmless which is why I'm not worried.

In 1976 I saw an orb weaving spider about this size, maybe larger, in two tone gray. Dark and light. The web was 4 feet across or more, in a rafter. I've never seen one like in books or youtube, any idea??
Hi! I have a question: how can you tell she's a female?
"It's actually webbing me up"
That spider's thinking, "If I could take him down, I'd be set for life!".
Watch my Indian Pet Spider
I feel like it mistook him for a tree
@@OttayansPlanet spiders dont know about rotting flesh so jokes on him
It’s a safety line so if the spider falls of she can catch herself before she hits the ground cus if she did hit the ground she would be injured.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm not the biggest fan of spiders, but I am absolutely charmed by how this beauty walks.
The slow, delicate steps it takes, especially with those two front legs is a mix between funny, because it looks like it's slapping the ground as it moves fast, and dainty because when it goes slower it looks very deliberate and careful :)
Agreed
It always looks like they only have some control over their limbs, which might be the case. I don’t really know how spider legs work other than they’re basically boner legs.
I have no fear of any of the "thicc legged" spider species. But for some reason the bulbous abdomen, and the spindly-legged ones get me riled.
Same! I hold tarantulas and jumping spiders all the time. But cellar spiders scare me soooo much. It's ridiculous how much they scare me.
@@Heavy_Meadow I just flatten those, when I encounter them. They have almost done in all our Tegenaria atrica. The cellar spiders are NOT endemic to our country, hence the squashing. 😄👍
@@johanneabelsen1644 *native. Endemic means found only in one specific region.
There is a shocking amount of people telling the guy to kill his pet. Wtf
yeah..no not really. not surprising at all given how many ignorant people out there
They fear what they don't understand
That is so sad. I see it a lot in rat or mice videos as well. If you're scared of an animal, how about just not watch videos about the species?
Dumb. I bet if they were in the spiders position they wouldn't want someone to smash them.
People like that are stupid, thinking there safe behind their keyboards.

I remember I had this giant black water spider on my deck, wouldn't let my family kill her cause she was the biggest spider I had ever seen and she wasn't bothering anyone. Named her Annie, Annie was nice.
*Then Annie had hundreds of babies*
And they all went into the woods, not one stayed at my house. Annie left too, twas a sad day
Awwwwwwwww😁
I can’t say I’m a huge fan of spiders-I’ve long been scared of them-but I love it that so many people love them. We should all try to appreciate all the amazing and varied forms of life on this earth. Videos like this are helping me learn to do just that.
I love your comment, very beatiful way of thinking :)

Spiders are reclusive creatures, not usually dangerous to us, and just want to be left alone. They're so misunderstood.
Some very dangerous spiders are VERY agressive and might attack you for no reason, but it's not a big problem since most people would die out of a heart attack seeing it before it could bite them
@@dawidek4267 tbh only spiders with some sort of mental illness or negative association with humans will only be aggressive. However most spiders are very timid.
No

I love your comment
Looks like youtube recommendations brought us all together again
I actually looked up for this video
I actually looked up banana spiders but found this instead.
Looks like these comments are copied over and over again
Ayyyeee
🤦🏾♂️ sure did.
Am I the only person who is afraid of spiders but at the same time legitimately find them really cool and some even really cute?
I used to be like that
They’re really interesting too. You could keep a tarantula as a pet and they’re easy to take care of maybe, and they’re also quite harmless
Pixie Minie , I really want one! But I have two pet rats who are more then enough to care for ^^
No --not at all I'm in your category too. I even think black widows are cool but would probably pass out if i were within 3 feet of one!
Eskiez 900 no I am like that
I think spiders are gorgeous, just in a terrifying, adore-from-afar kinda way.
I'm a (mostly) recovered arachnophobe. They used to terrify me when I was younger, but I forced myself to get over it. They don't intend us any harm, even the poisonous ones. I even had a HUGE "pet" spider that housed itself in a funnel web by my kitchen table (no, not a funnel web spider; I live in Washington State). I think my cat ate her.....which actually pissed me off. But I've got them all over my place, mostly cellar spiders, but some common house spiders as well; they're my friends and I like having them around.
Good news, your cat probably didn't eat it. Cats tend to stay away from Spiders, whereas they'll eat any other bug. Your spider probably just left, which they tend to do. They often move locations to find more food.
@@jonnyb.animationstutorials7119 Could be, but it looked like her web had been tampered with. Who knows. Either way, I was kind of bummed about it.
@@satorified1612 Spiders eat their web (Sometimes all of it) before they move locations. That way they can get a little bit of nutrition before they head out to find a better spot.
Good on you for beating your fear! Any tips on how to help my sister overcome hers? I'm sad that I can't currently share the joy of spiders with her.
@@laamonftiboren4236 The best way to overcome a fear is Exposure therapy. Show her first hand that Spiders aren't scary.
Me: That spider doesn't seem scary
My leg: *feels hair move*
Me: *kicks wildly*
I did the same thing 10 seconds ago😭😭😂
Ever since I was little, I've adopted a habit of looking before overreacting. Funny enough I've only had a spider crawl on me once in my life so I feel pretty lucky😎
I had on crawl on my face when I was like 4-5. 😀
LMAO
It be like that
I use to think that spiders were creepy...but as i grow older i just remind myself that they are just living creatures trying to live their life just like we do.
Thats true but for me their appearance ist horrorfying. Imagine any animal in giant size, you never want to meet a giant spider. So for their prey its like Horror movies
Spiders are bros
The way this spider is walking is just so funny and fascinating.
Kind of tramples.😄
Spiders are the absolute most beautiful creatures ❤

“I don’t find these bugs creepy at all”
*SPIDER SPRINTS UP HIS ARM*
I would throw up
Go fuck off, PUPPYS AND KITTENS MAKE ME THROW UP
They creep me the fuck out but I also find them fascinating
For sure!! Like in school I would always pick spider books and insect books . But just keep them away from me in real life .
Despite it’s size, I feel like spiders like this are less intimidating to a lot of people, due to their colors, lack of hair, and generally relaxed demeanor. Compared to something like a wolf spider, this is downright adorable.
Yeah, this one doesn't make me quiver as much
Wolf spiders are adorable too it’s all about how you look at them but they have those big sweet eyes like a puppy and they’re such good moms
@@jocelynarianna11 they move way too fast for me to be comfortable with them
What are you talking about wolf spiders are awesome.
I made friends with a Grey Jumping Spider today. He was a little scared of me at first, but after a little while he got used to being held by me, and calmed down. I put him near the fence, and told him farewell, mostly because I didn't want to put him back where I found him, as he was near a pretty big ant hill, and no spider can fight off an army of angry fire ants, so I wanted the best for him, and put him somewhere safe.
That dog looks really exotic
Looks like a fish man

THE TWO TINY LEGS NEAR ITS FACE IS ACTUALLY SO CUTE, if they all had legs that size I don’t think spiders would be scary at all.
Pedipalps! All spiders have them but they come in different shapes and sizes based on how they catch prey!

Great video, I have bad arachnophobia and videos like yours and other videos with spider handling and showing how passive most spiders are has been instrumental in helping me and I imagine maybe other people get over arachnophobia.
I have changed my entire outlook of spiders recently going from immediately panicked and freaking out to breathing looking at it, appreciating its cool-looking body then even managed to pick up and handle some common house spiders.
My problem with spiders is that I can’t tell if they’re harmless or cold blooded killers. As long as I know it’s ok, we’re bros.
Can't imagine how you go about your day to day activites and care for these spiders with your massive, 5-ton balls
Having watched so many spider videos, I’ve seriously concluded spiders are as docile as they are terrifying. They have zero interest in hurting people, and almost all of them won’t bite you while on your skin. Considering what they eat, they are probably better friends to man than dogs.
She’s so gorgeous. I always come back to this video. I really want one myself, I’m just in awe of their beauty.
The way it feels you with its pedipalps while it crawls on your arm is so cute!

Everytime I see a spider, I *need* to look around at my surroundings just to make sure there are none. Just a habit v:

I’m glad you have her, but I wouldn’t be able to say goodbye so soon if she was mine.😢 And if she’s already passed since you’ve made this video, I’m sorry for your loss man.
its been 9 years. you can bet that spider died
Nah, im pretty sure i saw that spider driving a volvo the other day. Its fine, its also gotten bigger.
I like how the spid just slams it’s legs on you as it crawls. So sassy!
This is why I love orb weavers! The entire grouping of spiders really is just so gentle and docile, and I love how delicately and carefully they move. It’s impressive seeing one this big and she is a beauty!!
i know!! the way she uses each leg so carefully and you can see her thought process before taking each step is fascinating
I first came across one of these spiders last year when it made it's home in the corner of my ducks pen. I was terrified at first but my grandma assured me it was a friendly spider that she had seen many of in her gardens. I did some research on the spider and was fascinated. I saw it once get scared and sort of 'vibrate' on it's web, it was so cool! And apparently their web is as strong as steel at the same thickness. I gave him a grasshopper and watched him wrap it up and start eating it and from that moment on, I've not been scared of orb weavers. Still wouldn't hold one tho 😅

I love how this just got recommended to me. I could never in a million years own a spider. I had a rose hair tarantula when I was a very young kid, but I had a close shave and almost got bit by a black widow once and I've been terrified since.
I dont understand whys theres so many people telling this man, even years later down the road (when I'm sure this orb weaver which was an adult has passed on by now) to kill his pet. I love watching others be able to handle spiders, because I personally think that their all beautiful. In their own creepy, dangerous way. But if this orb weaver has passed by now, hes probably still upset about it, because you can tell in the video how much he loved her. Quit telling this man to kill his pet. Especially if you have a oet, whether it's a dog, car, bird, etc. Because you wouldn't want someone saying that kind of stuff to you, especially if your pet passed away.
