I never gave much thought to a spider’s personality until I was prepping my bedroom walls for painting. A bold jumper followed me around for two days observing and touching everything I was working on. I ended up calling her Miss Supervisor. I moved her to my office where she continued supervising duties for the next 8 months. The morning I found her passed away on the windowsill, her favorite hunting spot, I was heartbroken. Because of Miss Supervisor, I look at the world’s smallest creatures with awakened curiosity, amazement, and respect.
Anna N thanks thats an adorable story, i love the name you gave her 🤗🙏
@@gwynroberts3816 🥰
I really like when people take the time to understand the world around them.
It makes us better humans. Like you!
Aww
I used to have a lil jumper that would hang out on my patio with me. It was cute the way it would run down the railing, and jump on the table. It would come sit right next to me, and if I was reading, it liked to climb up on the top of my books.
Jumping spiders are just special you can see them thinking and processing in real time. No other spider really like them
That’s exactly why jumping spiders are my favorite
They are insanely intelligent. BBC documentaries call them the smartest spider.
@@KBird-flylow I saw the same and believe it, the way they plan when they hunt is super cool
Is this what she 8s? A "Jumping" Spider. Honestly she deserves a flashier, sassier, name..
Hummingbirds are also an amazing tiny creature easily tamed.
The spider looked genuinely curious and she was so beautiful. Her colors were stunning.
I agree. The spider didn’t look half bad too
Why nobody has bred these for size and sold them as pets is beyond me.
@@protocetidperhaps that’s for the better. We’ve severely screwed up plenty dog breeds… wouldn’t want to see these cute little blessings be tainted.
@@Chris-hall9080 AFAIK it's pugs, breeds that are extremely small and purebreds (an obsession I will never understand, they're pricey and are more prone to sickness) that suffer. Every other dog does fine, not a dog owner so I could be mistaken.
Oh god.. are we gunna start breeding like poodle spiders? LOL @@Chris-hall9080
I am crying about a spider passing away. This is a first. Thank you Spider Woman for showing me in just 3 minutes how wonderful relationship with a spider can be.
They're God's children too❤.
Beautiful😭
At least you cried over a living spider. I would ball over Charlette the spider's death from Charlette's Web.
Literally babe here to say the same. How the hell am I crying over a spider?!!
I had a jumping spider make its home inside my car. Every time I'd go for a drive, the little guy would hop on the the steering wheel and just look at me. You can tell they're trying to figure us out. Beautiful little creatures. Completely changed my perspective on spiders.
A traveling buddie!! How awesome!
❤
I would have swerved if i saw that
Yet i love snakes
That's very cute but I would have died
Imagine living in a gaint movieng planet made of metal that crushes food for you along the way. Anyone capable of curiosity - would be curious encountering that.
I’m not a big fan of spiders, although, jumping spiders are an exception. They’re so cute, harmless, intelligent, and friendly.
Commented almost the same thing.
yeah, jumping spiders are an exception for me strangely enough since they're not big or dangerous looking and most videos gave me the impression that they are friendlier than the average spiders.
tarantulas are also amazing and fun
Yeah, me too….I’ve been terrified of spiders since I was a little girl…
@@waheex no
Big or small, kindness should be shown to all living things.
Yeah go try showing that kindness to a polar bear and see what happens
@@newman793I think that could be a case of not shooting the bear maybe..
got anisakis?
Jumping spiders are considered the most intelligent spider and even have the potential to dream which is only really prevalent in vertebrates (more studying is being done in this however). They also have big personalities/ are personable and love to interact with their surroundings. Gotta love the octokitties :D
I can see they are intelligent, but how would they know these spiders dream. I learnt that house spiders have consciousness, I would never kill them, but when I poked them they would play dead. Smart!
@@fireandice6805 they go into a very similar state to REM aka rapid eye movement when they rest up! It’s really fascinating!
Gretel may have only been in Emily’s life for a little bit, but Emily was Gretels whole life. Making even little souls live a happy life is a precious thing. Good on you
This is such a beautiful sentiment, and so important for people to remember.
Beautifully said! 🖤
🙂🧡🧡🧡
That's just wholesome
How. Good. Is. Thatxxxxxxxx
"I was always really scared of spiders, then I realized that *I'm* the big scary thing" is always the first step to falling in love with spiders. And I must say that this particular spider is quite the charmer! Look at her adorable eyes! So glad this woman gave her a good life.
My hubby comes to get me when he finds a spider in the house.
Don't get me wrong.. he's not afraid to kill them.
He's only afraid to catch them alive and release them like I do.
Educating or changing someone's opinion takes courage and work but it can be done.
Spiders are an important part of the ecosystem.
Yeah, it is amaizing how we forget about the fact spiders are looking at us and thinking "OMG!!!! WHAT IS THIS GIANT THING GOING TO DO TO ME!?!"
@@notme2day So true. Honestly I'm grateful when I see a spider in my home, because I know they're the first line of defense against insects lol. They really are very important to our ecosystem.
@@Scott-wf9kp Same here. I know they eat the bad bugs.
,pajL
This is so adorable.
We had a common house spider who lived in our bathroom for a year. I told my family they could not flush Bob down the shower or toilet. We got to see him live a full life in our house. Who knew there were so many other bugs around the house? Bob ate well, and we were grateful.
My love of spiders began while sitting on the porch with my Dad. We spent an evening watching a spider house clean her web. She'd run up and down the threads rolled dust into a ball then pitching it out. They are fascinating!
I'm so glad you had an open minded, open hearted Dad.
Problem with letting spiders live in your home is that they mate.
I own a tarantula and they do have very distinct personalities. they can be skittish, aggressive, calm, it all depends. theyre honestly beautiful and incredibly fascinating
I m thinking to own one but I am kinda scared how will they behave
@@Kool_ash I have 9 tarantulas. A great "starter" tarantula would be a Brazilian Black. Their really laid back and chill. At least the one's I've had.
@@Kool_ash Google your question. Some species are very calm.
I know its probably just imagination, but watching jumping spiders I often have the impression they're way more intelligent than an arthropod should be
A jumping spider has the spacial recognition of a 7 year old human. They are able to keep track of the positions of objects not in their line of sight. In some ways they are very intelligent.
@@acvarthered I had no idea, makes me wonder if in another timeline they evolved into spiderous sapiens
Pretty sure they are among the smartest invertebrates
Like they are really good ambush and trap hunters think of them like small freaky cats
@@acvarthered source: trust me bro
@@MRST0R no, they are actually quite smart. they can dream, which is something no other invertabrae can do, mostly high intelligent beings do that. They also can form bonds with humans, learning to trust. The only sad thing is that they only live for a year
I usually dort like spiders, but this one's actually pretty cute ngl
For real, though.
*Don’t
They are very useful for humans
@@mopiktm9480 they can help eliminate insects
frr
Never thought I would feel emotional over the passing of a pet spider. wow. She was adorable.
Someone's a Spider-Man fan.
Jumping spiders are so much easier to tolerate. They move differently
I never thought I’d tear up about a spider passing… 🥺 this is cute
So cute we need to spread the word about spiders they are just afraid of us as we are of them😻🕸🕷
Definitely. One night I was sitting with the window open and noticed A big spider moving along the floor, I was too scared to just take it in my hand and take it outside.
as soon as I saw it, it saw Me and just froze, so I went to get a cup to pick it up in and by the time I got back it was still there frozen so I managed to take it outside.
I love the satisfaction of taking spiders outside instead of killing them.
Yeah, as long as you spread that message with a healthy dose of respect. Some spiders are very aggressive, poisonous, and even deadly. Tarantulas are great spiders, but can become very aggressive if you scare them, so you have to learn how to handle and read them.
How about the "black widow"
@@myopinion1773 🤣😂🤣 oh yeah, best bareback companion hands down!
Spiderman
This story actually brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely adorable. What a beautiful friendship
Mine too 🥺❤
Yes, there was genuine emotional connection and love between Gretel and her mom. Beautiful. She was so smart! RIP, little one🙏.
@francesca S. Yes, a bond that goes beyond the gulf of species. Beautiful !
Mine too.
All eight of them 🕷
tears wtf
I love the stories she's told through another spider she got after Gretel passed. I love the personality as if the spider were a child she was teaching how to "spider".
Omg how adorable; Imma find those videos ❤️
I don't even know why I'm crying. But what a beautiful story about a beautiful little girl 🕷🕸💕
Same
They're just so cute and fuzzy. And unlike most insects and arachnids who just blankly stare past you, they look directly at you from the front despite having full 360 degree vision. And they wave (most likely cleaning themselves) and clearly show thinking in real time and touch things to understand them.
We had jumping spiders at our house in SoCal but I didn't know that's what they were at the time. I didn't kill any of them but I did think they were cute. I hope this video gets people to rethink smooshing them out of fear
Actually, other spiders and insects are just as curious and special. I've held bees, lacewings, crane flies and more and they're all fascinating! I even made sure a tarantula crossed a road safely. Lizards will turn their heads and look right at you if you talk to them. I hope more people realize how many wonderful tiny beings there are around us
@@karifoto Love it !! 🤍Where we lived in Temecula CA, there must of been some migrating path becuz for 3 yrs we had a few tarantulas crossing thru our front lawn in a rural area.
We have dogs so I rounded them up & drove them to a vacant field down our road in the same direction they were crawling - I hope they're all doing well :D
Oh and I'm IN LOVE with Praying Mantis ! Saved a few of those. I'd love a PM pet
@@karifoto I agree I always try to save bugs when I see them in water and the way they sit and clean themselves so meticulously is extremely fascinating. I've even saved wasps and never been stung almost like it new that I was only helping
@@avarysse5782 that’s fantastic! Praying Mantises are so neat! 💚
She's actually kind of cute I love the way she tilts here head like a puppy
And the spider's not bad either.
@@gregmedavoy6075Ba-dum TISS
This is one of the reasons why I love jumping spiders so much. They're actually fairly smart and aware of stuff around them compared to most other spiders, so they have their own little personalities, thoughts, and curiosity that just makes them so much better. On top of that, they don't actually cause any harm on the sparse occasions when they bite.
Also random note, I saw someone on Tik Tok who named a small jumping spider Typewriter :). Just wanted to say that lol.
This woman is adorable. That one lucky spider.
Love this! First time I've viewed a Dodo video about a pet spider. "If we can learn more about the things that we fear, it really takes away a lot of that mystery" What a valuable life lesson!
I watched another one on here a while ago. And it was actually the cutest. It gave high-five and all. You’ll have to check it out. I’m pretty sure I watched it on here, or Geo Beats.
@@trinity2145 I love GeoBeats too - I think Dodo had one on a pet Bee! I do rescue the ones I find in trouble & let them quietly rest in our house till they recover ok.
@@trinity2145 yes the one where the spider hangs out on his keyboard. Pretty cute
My hubby comes to get me when he finds a spider in the house.
Don't get me wrong.. he's not afraid to kill them.
He's only afraid to catch them alive and release them like I do.
Educating or changing someone's opinion takes courage and work but it can be done.
Spiders are an important part of the ecosystem.
Yes, I saw the Bee, I Love them, they're So Cute!
why are jumping spiders so amazing? they seem to analyze their surroundings and who could ever hate a face like that? 🥰
They do analyze their surroundings. They can plan routes in 3D. And they're smart enough to know that, if there is prey ontop of a leaf above them, they can climb above that leaf and attack from above. Most spiders would just go for the prey's shadow through the leaf and not understand why they just got a facefull of plant instead of bug.
@@Graytail You made me genuinely lol with that last part; thank you!
Gretel is JUST the cutest name for such an adorable little one, you helping her with some fabric around objects for her to move better was also so amazing, she really was something, they are adorable even for terrified of spiders individuals like me, you are very right ALL creatures are special and ALL have their own personalities, we MUST respect that, we have such a honor to live with them!!🕷🕸
Omg. It’s so cute how she just waved at the camera! ☺️☺️☺️
My daughter was scared of spiders, me too. But she has three what she calls babies, loves being petted.
Hello Betty
How are you doing?
@@marcoswilliams2261 my guy use messages this is public
@@matthewmoreno8545 lol the internet is a wonderful place.
😵
@@marcoswilliams2261 Quit creepin.
I saw something similar when a woman brought home a bea, that couldn't fly. I was so touched by that as I am with this. We need more people like you.
Ive rescued stick bugs, leeches and a grasshopper amputee (courtesy of my cats). The leeches even had babies!
@@suchabadkitty1293 Oh, heavens! I love all critters, but I might have to draw the line at a leech. 😳
at a summer camp around 1 and a half years ago, a friend of mine stepped on a snail.
he was bigger than any other snail ive seen before (not a GALS, dw), and i named him felix
i kept him in a vanity bag for a week while i was staying at the summer camp, but when i brought him home i spent 70 dollars on a tank for him. he lives a very happy life, with a special diet i prepare just for him, and i love him to death :)
I saw that too! That lady adopted that wingless bee. I cried as well when it died. Reminds me of a lady bug that I found inside our office in which where did it came from and yet my office is inside a Mall. I put a drop of water near it and it immediately drank most of that droplet of water.
i seen that before to! it was so cute
This was pretty wholesome, number one thing to remember is most animals that small are a million times more scared of you than you could ever be of them, as a result you really need to be patient and let them come to you when they are ready and it is critically important that you do not panic because that is the worst possible thing you can do.
I here this platitude all the time and I dont buy it for a moment, I was in work once and there was a huge spider, I couldn't relax knowing it was near me so I picked up and empty bin to trap it so I could get on with my work (mean i know) anyway as soon as I got in distance this spider charges at me and chase me across the room while everyone is laughing, I turn around and its standing still, so I put the bin down and decide Im not going to mess with it, then it chases me again, so I decide to have an early break and get out of there, that spider from hell was not scared of me one bit lol
@@simogenic It actually was scared of you and that is why it acted so aggressive. If it had a thought process, it would probably be something like "That thing is huge, I'm tiny, and there is an immense chance it is going to kill me. I can't hide where I am right now so I need to act big and mean to try and scare the predator away, so I don't get eaten."
I've always thought Jumping Spiders were cute! They have such big eyes, and fuzzy little faces.
My sisters and I also like watching the large yellow and white golden orb weavers that lived in the field near our how build their amazing spiraling webs.
i love when people give even such tiny creatures like this the love they deserve! jumping spiders are awesome little babies, they're so cute too! they could cure most people's fear of spiders, i think. 😂 (before someone comes for me in the comments i'm being hyperbolic, i know phobias are realistically hard to get over)
gretel's time on this earth was short, but it was filled with so much love, and she definitely made a good impression on her human!
You cannot trigger me. I'm a MAN and Marine.
Expressing your opinion is your God given right.
Your disclaimer is not necessary.
Those who are "triggered " have their own personal demons that we shouldn't fret over.
That's a them problem not ours!
Stay strong. I got your back
My fear of spiders has mostly tremendously diminished over time because of these cute jumping spider bonding stories. Even then, I'd still get a little discomfort seeing them up close, but not at all with Gretel. She's as cute and sweet in full, spidery detail as she would be if she were a baby bunny to me. I think I'm on my way to being entirely unfazed by spiders.
Look for thick hair, compact, stout body proportions ( think bodybuilder) , quick reflexes yet welcoming to a slow approaching finger.
Btw not aggressive at all toward us....explanation of the spiders eye and how he can see us is for a later date.
Hint...he knows how big you are
I did got rid of my phobia! It took some time but it's possible. Now it's rare that I jump if I see one, even on my bed.
I never saw one up close, nor realized how beautiful and unique they were! 💕
Mother nature, creating only miracles. 👍😁
Jumping spiders often have really incredible iridescence, sometimes have a metallic sheen, and can have all the colors in the rainbow!
Hello dear it's nice meeting you here
@@johnsongray5979 lol
Hello 👋 ☺️
Spiders have always creeped me out. Now I want one lol
I love spiders in general and I love holding them, but jumping spiders are by far my favorite. They're so adorable, plus there are so many different types of them that I always see a couple every year that I've never seen before. They're mesmerizing and actually very curious and friendly creatures. As with most spiders, every now and then I'll pick one up and it will take a liking to me and then it's all I can do to get it to crawl off of me! I just love them.
It amazes me that creatures this small can learn to see us as friends instead of some big scary giant. And I don't just mean spiders - I mean every tiny critter that people manage to befriend. They really put a lot of trust in us.
Bless this woman! Love her compassionate recognition of this little individual's right to life and her capacity for happiness. True animal lovers love ALL animals, including those animals who are forced into short brutal lives, suffering, until their violent deaths at the slaughterhouse. Our compassion must evolve to include these most vulnerable individuals and we must ask ourselves whether our daily choices are bringing MORE MERCY, or MORE MISERY to animals. Don't choose to support their unnecessary suffering and death! Choose justice and compassion for them! Be vegan - for them! 🌱💞
As an exterminator with an expansive knowledge in entomology and pest control I whole heartedly agree.
My experience with jumping(hunting) spiders shows them to be the most awesome of all the arachnids.
I have them firmly on my protected species list.
They are the dogs of there phylum.
Yes I too have petted them.
Keep up the good work they deserve it
Semper fi

Are other exterminators educated like you??
@@AmandathePandaBooks Unfortunately no.
Most are technicians. Trained for the basics. Do this with ants, do that with roaches...etc
Some of us have training beyond that scope from places like Purdue.
Call your pest company and you will get a tech.
Serious problems are the realm of Certified Applicators or better yet Associate Certified Applicators.
So you protect one species of spider because of it's intelligence but ignore and kill all other animals you deem not intelligent enough to be protected?
@@dynastygal Kind of messed up, isn't it? However, people eat pigs, and shame eating dogs despite pigs being smarter than dogs. I would say don't judge. People eat dogs, but for some reason, they're seen as evil. It's all about perspective.
@@dynastygal he most likely exterminates Pests such as termites and rats
I’m so sorry you lost your little friend. I’m terrified of spiders but she was adorable 🥰. Thank you for sharing Gretel’s story and her bright, albeit short life. You made that little spider’s life the best it could be for her year.
She is low key so cute :) I’m terrified of spiders but these kind whatever they are called are an exception
I used to be extremely afraid of spiders, like if I saw one, I'd dart of the room in an instant. However, a few years ago I began watching videos on the little guys, learning about the different types and just becoming more familiar with them. Over time my phobia disappeared and now I'm perfectly fine around them. In fact, in the upper right corner of my bedroom there's a little spider that lives in a small hole that's been there since before I moved in. It usually just chills up there, minding its own business, and even eating these annoying little flies that'll sneak into my room during the summer. I know it's silly, but I began calling it Spot, because it barely ever moves from that spot.
Looks like your spider is doing their job
@@csch1510 I'm glad because damn, those flies can be extremely annoying. I'll be sitting there, trying to work on my book and these things start flying right in front of face and around my monitor.
How afraid is extremely afraid? Genuine qn, I'm curious because I haven't met anyone more afraid than me or as afraid as I am. Not that it's a competition but I really do want to get over this fear of bugs that I have and I'm trying to get a gauge on how much work ill have to do 🥴🤣 I can't stand to even open my eyes when videos or documentary of bugs/spiders are playing, you'd imagine I'd freak out to near crying if I met one in real life! My phobia is disrupting my life 😭😂 when someone says they're "really scared" of it too I feel validated until I realise theyre not as scared as I thought they were then I get disappointed, if you know what I mean lol! Let me know of any tips that may be helpful in getting over this phobia!
@@pepsil4life475 If you want my advice on how I got over mine, I just watched informative videos on them. It was through these that I learned a vast majority of spiders aren't actually deadly. Sure, they may bite, but unless it's something like a Black Widow. Brown Recluse, or Red Back, you'll more than likely love through it. Like here, jumping spiders do have a toxin they release when biting into prey, but to a human, the most it'll do is maybe give you a little itch. It's the same way I overcame my phobia of snakes, I watched plenty of videos on which to watch out for, which are friendly and which are deadly, and that's really about it.
@@AshXXMayftw I think my fear comes from a feeling of "disgust" either about its creepy crawly *many* legs (I have a phobia of even a rubber ball toy with many tentacles) or its general appearance, not so much about the associated dangers or harm they can inflict on me. Although learning facts about them sounds like an angle I could work from, knowledge and facts about nature/animals do fascinate me so perhaps that can be a redeeming factor for me to sit still for long enough to desensitize a bit 🤔 thanks for sharing how you overcame your fear, I saw a baby roach climb out of my little cat grass plantation this morning and am still reeling in from the scare LOL I should rly start getting serious about tackling this fear
This is so sweet ! I get mad when people just randomly kill spiders or bugs or snails, etc. Loved this sweet girl you bonded with! 😍
Ikr! My friend killed a poor spider and said it deserved it! She was so cruel about it and it was just taking a walk! I cant believe people
Hello Avarysse
How are you doing?
Me too. I’ll move all the snails on the side walk so no one steps on them and I’ll walk around ants so I don’t step on them and I make everyone else walk around them too
@@des984 ikr they all deserve to live too 😢
Spider also really useful in reducing annoying insects (mosquito, wasp, etc)
As someone with arachnaphobia, jumpers are the only ones I'm always eager to look at (touching still makes me nervous lol) they're just so cute
Update: I managed to let one use my hand as an elevator!
@@Daeneiracorn As someone with entomophobia, you are exactly what I aspire to be some day 🥹 Congrats on your progress!
I think the fact that she has a little face that looks like two eyes and a little smile helps but not all spiders are that cute to me
I'm terrified of them
More power to you tho
I don't think I could do it
It's all good, don't feel at all pressured :) I adore this little stinker but i don't think i could! I'm better off trying a pygmy praying mantis, maybe!
This, exactly. It’s definitely the big cartoon eyes that makes them cute.
@@cheepymcpeepy ahh, I love praying mantis’
Jumping spiders are nothing like other spiders. Smarter, better vision. They can see you and think about it.
I’ve handled jumpers many times (carefully) - I’ve never been bit. Dunno that I could do that with other spiders.
My hubby comes to get me when he finds a spider in the house.
Don't get me wrong.. he's not afraid to kill them.
He's only afraid to catch them alive and release them like I do.
Educating or changing someone's opinion takes courage and work but it can be done.
Spiders are an important part of the ecosystem.
Seeing Gretal close up like that, she was so beautiful and such a little honey. Thank you for sharing her with people like me and showing us how lovely spiders can be.
Even cute spiders usually give me at least a little bit of the willies when I see them up close, but this one was cute no matter how much detail I saw. Very sweet little creatures.
well.. i still do not want any spiders around me..
But.. Gretel is pretty as a baby flower 🌼
God bless her, for loving that little spider..
*wait ✋ Gretel is the spider's name? I only care about that pretty human female 🥰
This little girl was a gem❤ Thank you for educating the world about spiders. It's so sad jumping spiders only have a year or so, they deserve a longer life. But many beautiful souls out there. Big thank you!!! 🕷️
I can't stand how people are scared of mice lmao they literally have the cutest little faces in the world yet people freak the hell out when they see them. You look and see that they have the cutest little pink button noses and adorable little round ears ❤️ people need to learn what this girl said, we the humans are the big scary thing.
I relate to this SO much. I remember clearly the very first time I saw a jumping spider. I was working in a library and found him. Got a container to take him outside and as soon as I put him down he hopped around to look at me and he tilted his head up to see who I was. I was hooked. I’ve been completely in love with spiders ever since. It’s like a switch just happened. I try to talk people thru spider fear and see just how awesome they are.
Apparently, putting a house spider outside is a death sentence.
Best to leave them alone.
@@drewlovelyhell4892 House spider?
@@jacobruiz97 Yeah, some spiders live exclusively in warm indoors environments. If you put them in the garden, the cold or other animals will get them.
I have terrible arachnaphobia and even though watching this made me uncomfortable, I still valued their relationship and the happiness/lessons they taught eachother! ❤
It's our stupid culture!! Halloween movies, etc. these are Gods creatures. Not satans! God created them. For a perpose.
Release your fears.
Same here ☺️ it terrified me but then also made me nearly cry when she said Gretel had died. It was just such a lovely story. ❤️❤️
Jumping spiders are so nice to people and animals
They'll hunt pesty bugs to make your day safe and better
I do too. But these spiders don't cause that reaction. I have had some interesting times with spiders. Some i will speak with and they seem to listen. Others are just assholes.
I totally agree!!! I was scared of spider more than anything! Then one day I saw video of cute jumping spider and I start melting for them. Now? I am one of this people in home who always screaming on others to not killing wild spiders that wondered into house. So thank you, it is much more pleasant to like them than fear them ❤
I am sorry to hear that she passed away, but you also bring a light into her life, so she could enjoy it. Thank you for that.
Spiders are so amazing and full of emotions and individual quirks. I had such awful arachnophobia, but didn't want my kids to be scared. I forced myself to interact, respect, and be observant of the multiple species in my area. I am so glad I did this, I have experienced and learnt so much.
Sounds like good parenting!
You are a great mom!
I too, used to be scared of spiders, but one day instead of squashing it, for some reason I walked up and took a close look. That one look into that fuzzy little face with those big eyes and I fell in love! To this day no one is allowed to kill a jumping spider in my house!
I never saw a Jumping spider in my live
So nice and wholesome. I swear these little spiders know when you have good intentions. I live with other people who are afraid of spiders so when they find one I ask them to call me instead of killing it. I talk to the spider in a soft voice and offer my hand and they invariably climb up onto it and let me move them either outside or to an area of the house where they'll be safe (like the basement or garage). They never run or freak out and I seriously believe they can tell that you're interested in helping them.
Wow, never thought that I'd get sad over a spider. How precious, good on you. Thank you for sharing.💕 RIP Gretel
She(the spider) looking up at her for validation is just so adorable!
I saw that moment as well and wondered the same thing. I guess we may never understand if there’s anything cognitive or emotional happening between us and creatures we normally assume have only very basic nerve impulses for survival only, or is it just coincidence? Is there more happening here besides the big three survival decisions? 1, Do I kill it? 2, Do I mate with it? 3, Do I run from it? There certainly seems to be, which is fascinating and life changing to those willing to put forth the thought and effort of our own big brains. I wish this type of thing, engaging with things that we are afraid of or that make us uncomfortable to try to learn from it, were put into practice and taught to our young by the majority. We’d probably live in a better environment. That or half our population would be devoured trying to hug a crocodile or pet a rattlesnake. 😉
Spiders as a whole are fascinating creatures and echologically very important. I wouldn't call most of them cute but jumping spiders really are!
Jumping spiders are just soooooooooo awesome! My young daughters love them even more than I do!
that is the sweetest thing ever...both of them try to conquer their fears and show their true selfs to each other
the little spider might have died but what it showed to people who are afraid of spiders and how it helped them conquer their fear, lives on forever
Really beautiful. I had a tarantula that loved sitting on my grand piano when I played. Seriously, she loved the sound or the vibration, I still don't know which. When I put my hand in her terrarium she always came and climbed up my hand, glad to be going somewhere. I also slept in a bed next to a window where a black widow too up residence and made a web. I tossed insects into her web. We co-existed closely with no problems. It's amazing how much people don't know about spiders. THEY DON'T SUCK BLOOD..
They suck up liquefied organs...
Of insects
No, they just dissolve your insides (blood and all) and drink it.
I had one that looked just like her named LuLu. I really enjoyed having her for the year she lived. It's a shame they don't live longer. These spiders also cured my fear of spiders in general.
Spider a wonderful little animals and they keep many disease spreading pests under control. They deserve a lot more respect than they get.
Seeing the wonder in her eyes looking at the spider swinging from her wrist at the end was adorable
These insects aren't like others, I've had strange encounters with them like them literally finding me several days later & then just being on me & looking at me.
Very awesome little guys.
They aren't insects. They are arachnids.
@@scy1038 oh yeah, I forgot that. Though they are all invertebrates. When I hear "medulla oblongata" it makes me sick, thats6why I vote for Joe Biden.
@@scy1038 ........ You mean porches spider.
One special thing about jumping spiders is they have amazing eyesight! Which is why they’re so personable, they can see us properly. Very intelligent and sweet little babies. I don’t have one yet, but watching videos on them and etc has made me less and less afraid of spiders 😊
I've actually made friends with a wild jumping spider on several occasions. They have a variety of personalities, so it's not a sure bet, but if you extend a *friendly* hand to one of them, they might get curious and check you out! I had one that followed me across the patio to chill on my clothes, and all I did was watch it close without hurting it for a couple minutes. It looked right at me, looking right at it, and came out of the grass, across the brickwork, and up my pants just to check me out, back. I released it into some tall grass afterwards, but it was cool to experience.
How awesome was this to watch. I loved it and to the lady who befriended these little ones , you rock... Beautiful person inside and out. Thanks for sharing your special moments. ❤
I'm afraid of spiders but this spider is a whole another level of cuteness
I always loved spiders, it must suck to be terrified of them.
I always tell people that if they would just take time to educate themselves about spiders, they would be alot less afraid of them. I find them completely fascinating!!!🕸💖🕷
depends on your level of fear, i've seen many videos of peoples pet spiders and i'm like "Oh they are not that bad." but the second I see a huge ass spider running across my wall my brain goes into fight mode, I could never sleep if i let a spider run loose
Ya totally - you should try petting a brown recluse spider! :P JK - don't do that. That's like saying one should try petting a Brazilian wandering spider or a Sydney funnel web spider... some spiders you just DON'T TOUCH or get near... PERIOD. I'm sure you know all of this though seeing as how you're educated on arachnids and whatnot.
That is absolutely incredible!! I've never taken the time to really just watch a spider like that before. I'm the one who see's a spider and immediately turns and goes the other way. And now I'm like they're actually really kind of cute and that's thanks to this video. Thanks for sharing your story.
She is keeping her in that small box.
I feel the same. Gretel was just amazing. She had a beautiful little soul and personality! The fact that she needed love and companionship means she was aware of her feelings and the world around her in ways we don't attribute to spiders. God bless this young lady for giving more of Gretel's kind love and happiness!
Why is it actually so adorable 🥹🥹🥹🥹
I love Spiders since i was a little Boy, but everyone was jumping, yelling and running when they see a Spider.
Now People keep them as cute little Pets and im so happy about it! They are not only cute but very helpfull
with those damn Flies in Summer (i really hate Flies)
Jumping spiders are so cute. They actually look and pay attention to you like no other spider can! Good thing too. Imagine a Bird Eating Tarantula looking at you or a Huntsman. LOL
I would only be wary of the really deadly ones like the Brazilian Wanderer or the Funnel-Webs.
@@snakeeyes9246 Yeah those Funnel Web spiders in Australia aint no joke! I HAAATE spiders! 😳
So cute that the Jumping Spider looks at the Camera,and it's a great thing that you kept it going through the Jumping Spider's honor.
Such a beautiful story. RIP Gretel💖🙏🏼
I absolutely love the little faces of jumping spiders
This makes me appreciate spiders so much more, we really take our small friends for granted 🕷❤
What a cute fuzz muffin 😍 💖. What a short life but you made her life so much more enjoyable!
I just ran into a jumping spider on my table, for some reason. It was odd because i looked at him and he (or she) definitely looked back at me with intelligence and the body language was unmistakable. He was saying, "i am brave spider! Dont mess with me!" But i could tell it was all an act. I just left him/her there to live out his life as he wanted. He was no doubt very aware and smart.
I once feared them too, now it's just love and respect.
I adore these little jumping spiders 🥰 When I was living in Turkey, they used to come and sit on the railing of my balcony and just watch me. The sweetest!!
Thank you for sharing Gretel's story with us and I'm sorry for your loss. It's amazing how pets can inspire and transform the lives of the humans they interact with.
Epic little Spiddoes these guys, I love how they are so observant and timid, slow (in terms of sitting still and just dandering around), then lightning (flash) fast when they need to be/jump.
What an amazing woman. What an amazing spider, Gretel you were a special girl 😊
When I'm cleaning and moving things around and a spider runs out scared I move back and speak very softly, calmly for it not to be afraid. Nearly every time the spider will stop running and just watch me. Then I gently speak to it as I capture it to remove. I also have a fear of spiders that I have gotten under control. The common house/garden spiders are very gentle and want nothing to do with us. I like being more respectful and aware vs screaming and killing them.
Beautiful story. Almost lost it when she lost her. Used to be afraid of spiders when much much younger, but I can treat them the same way I do other living creatures nowadays. Thanks so much for sharing the video. She was adorable! 🧡🐾
I love jumping spiders. Always help them out if I see them. Any spider really but they are my fav
I love the way they move their heads around. Reminds me of some sort of droid from Star Wars
That’s a beautiful relationship you two had❤
What a way to get over your fear. Good for you
My condolences for the loss of your little buddy. May she rest in peace.
Hello Lisa
How are you doing?
Life is life big small we should respect it all
According to science studies, jumping spiders have most developed brains out of all spiders (and ''insects'' all together). So it explains why out of all other spiders and insect creatures, jumping spiders are most unique with their social behavior / unique personality.
Never thought I'd cry over a spider dying. But that's genuinely sad, losing a little friend like that. Good job on overcoming the spider feat tho, I still can't.
I took my son to the park last year, at one point he started pushing other kids and blocking them from getting into the roofed enclosure over the slide.
When i went to figure out what hes doing, turns out there was a jumping spider on the wall and he was afraid the other kids would hurt it if theysaw him. We scooped the little critter up and he carried it gently over to a bush to release it.
They really are just skitish little things that arent as frightning as they look.
What a great 'job' you've done raising your son; kids who are taught to respect wildlife, pets and nature in general will also respect others ❤️🎉🥳. Blessings 😊
I like jumping spiders. I remember working at the computer one day when I noticed this tiny brown jumping spider slowly making its way along the desk. I left it alone and ten minutes later, I looked up to find it staring at the watch I left under the monitor. It approached cautiously, looked at the monitor, then looked at the watch. A minute later, it went nearer before finally climbing onto it. I finally realised it was fascinated by the moving seconds hand when its gaze was directed at it. 🤣 It followed after then stopped and I could guess what it's thinking; what is this thing that's moving round and round in front of me?
what a beautiful friendship 🥺
Animals, Critters are so beautiful and unique!!!! They all serve a purpose and deserve love and respect!!!
Awesome. I interact with insects a lot more now that I'm older. I talk to them. This was so cool to see.
Jumpys are the best for getting over that fear. Misunderstood spider memes really broke that ground for me lol!
Jumpers are amazing spiders. For such a tiny critter they have outstanding eyesight. They come in a variety of beautiful colors, and sizes. They are skilled hunters, and will keep your house void of unwated guests. Very cute little fuzzy faces that don't bite.
I love how animated, colorful and furry these little guys are with their big eyes! They love living in gate latches and locks, it seems. I love when they pop out to say hello! 💗
