This video is awesome. Jumping spiders are far and away my favorite subjects for macro photography. I tried this technique today, and within an hour or so I caught and photographed as many as I had already photographed prior to to watching this video. Seriously, I can't say thank you enough.
I'm so lucky in Australia. We have peacock jumping spiders which are my favourite not just because they're so colourful and entertaining but also because new species are being discovered.
Ink So you see extremely colorful peacock jumping spiders on a regular basis where you live? We primarily have 'bold jumping spiders' here. They are all black. But they typically do a pretty good job of staying out of sight most of the time. I can work outside, surrounded by flowers and shrubs and houses, and a small patch of trees, and not see one except maybe 1 out of 3 days.
I wish I had a guy like this as an uncle , very educated and gentlemen likewise. I love jumpers and he would really fun to hang with ...would love to see your collection. Thanks for the video
been collecting spiders for 35 years as an ameture scientist and now sharing my pride and joy with my nephew. I studied geology at SOU. Great video btw and love the tips. Someday I will post my methods for capturing black widows.
Well, some people do have jumpers as pets, but mostly of the genus Phidippus. This man here, is one of the greatest (if not the most) researchers of the family in the world.
Excellent video. Clear and concise explanation from an expert who knows how to teach, and video taken by a professional or very good amateur. I would only add two things- a warning about ticks and Lyme disease (among other diseases) which is part of the reason you wear long pants and tuck your cuffs into your boots, and maybe an explanation of the data you're writing. The location, lat/lon and date are self explanatory. The numbering system seems to be the 2 digit year followed by the incremented location number. At the bottom it seems to be the researchers' initials- maybe research assistants there helping you? The 650 m el. stumped me for a minute until I realized it was meters of elevation. Looks like you were walking down the hill in Malaysia. (put the coordinates into google maps and take a look at where he was, people- pretty cool). Then there's a percentage in parentheses. Is that the relative humidity? You have it on the typed slip but not on your notes. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for posting this! Some people complain that there are too many jumping spiders where they live; I'm cursed with an under-abundance of jumping spiders. Maybe after watching this I'll find more of those adorable creatures. :)
This video were the principal focus for the methods of my cientific initiation in a survey of jumping spiders here in Brazil. It'll be organized as Maddison 2015 proposes too. I just have to thank you, professor Wayne Maddison.
I absolutely love this yesterday I was moving a jumping spider and it jumped to my hand and that’s when I knew that my own first pet would be a jumping spider
An exceptionally helpful video. I'm about to start collecting again (in the UK) after a long lay-off - so thanks for reminding me of the basics - much appreciated.
Me collecting: OH MY GOSH THERE'S A JUMPING SPIDER Jumping spider: You'll never catch me alive, bub!! I just started studying Salticidae here in Brazil, before that I was studying spiders in general, my colleagues at the lab tend to collect directly into alcohol. I was heartbroken the first time I went collecting with them, so I started to look for alternatives for this and this video helped me realize that one of my initial ideas is very much effective. I just need different vials!
@@aubrey756 not yet, but I'm working on the samples we had on the lab already, so fortunately I don't need to euthanize any more of them. After my undergraduate thesis is complete, I'll start looking into their behavior bit by bit and then I won't be having to euthanize anymore. And I don't know if there's ever going to be any alternatives for this when the research is taxonomic (because of the need to remove genitalia and or collect samples for genetics)...
I am just getting into some self study and have had a very hard time being able to kill them. I wish I had some samples to look at. Thank you for responding!
Great tips, Wayne, and perfect timing for our AZ collecting excursion, which starts today. Motivated Daniel Zurek and I to go grab carpentry belts yesterday with nice leather pockets like yours.
"Mom, *I'm not properly equipped* for jumping spider hunting. I'll need a full jumping spider gear and tools. Do you have a fanny pack too and your sun weather hat? I'm walking around nude looking for jumping spiders after watching this tutorial. Oh mom, do you still have that beating stick you used on me yesterday for getting an F on my fractions math test? I guess jumping spiders also have math issues."
*his neighbors* “WTH, IS HE BEATING BUSHES WITH STICKS?” *him* “oh nah, I’m just looking for jumping spiders to add to my collection!” *neighbors* “😳-“ THIS IS A JOKE
Hi Wayne, we Love your video. I have a goal of identifying and recording an undiscovered insect or spider. How much time should I spend, in 1 acre of land, before moving to the next acre? Also, how much distance should my next acre be, from the last?
Me watching this: oh these are great ideas for finding my next seasonal pet spider! The guy: most people just catch them directly into alcohol Me: D: oh
I like jumping Spider their are cool looking to me it seems like when I go out side sometimes I run into them sometimes or there run into me in away sometime jumping Spider do I do not take them out of the woods I live them in woods.
So I have a couple of questions. Does the beating hurt the spiders? Because my son and I are trying to collect jumpers to keep as pets. It hurts my heart that you kill the jumpers. I can’t bare to think how many you’ve killed in the last 43 years. But besides that, does your betting method hurt them? Also, do your vials kill then? There are no air holes. Thanks.
Caught one, Scottish black. January 3rd. Is this unseasonable as i'm positive Saticidae are more spring or summer. It's in a small Ferrero Rocher clear tub checking their frustrations out. POINT : CAN i keep it in a usual plastic tank with pantyhose for mesh and the TINIEST black insects my knowledgeable dealer sells for live food, or maybe i have answered my own question. Thanks.
Great vídeo. May i ask, what we give to our jumping spiders eat? I have 3 jumping spiders, they are of the most common gender here in Brazil Menemerus bivittatus. I think its adult, but it don't eat the flies I give. even though I make sure that the fly alive and moving while i offer it. I'm afraid she'll starve to death. What should I give? once i saw it eat another spider, of the same gender, but smaller. should i offer other spiders? Best regards from Brazil.
Carl Mathiason I have caught jumping spiders at winter in really cold weather, they usually make nests under a dry dead trees bark be careful because you have to pull apart the nest and it easy to injure the spider in the nest if your not careful
Love this guy! I am arachnaphobic to the extreme, however jumping spiders for some reason don't bother me. I live in Canada and can't seem to find some of the bigger species of audax or regius, however I am finding a lot of Salticus scenicus. Unfortunately they are incredibly tiny. I have my stick, however I should try this shield thing.
What about collecting spiders at night? Furthermore, most spiders are night hunters. So, are the same methods acceptable at night, including flashlights?
I just caught one in my house with paper and a glass. He almost died like ten times. I also saw what I think is his mom outside. (She’s huge) I am saving him for when my parents get home and i can educate them on him.(he is a baby nc jumping spider I think)
Hey Wayne I’m having trouble identifying a jumping spider ,i caught the spider in Washington state and it’s a spider I have never seen before. I was wondering if you could help identify the spider I have a video of it on my channel. I’m also wondering , what if it is a new species. I hope you can help.
It's a Habronattus. It's a bit hard to tell the species, as the video isn't high resolution. If you're along the coast, a good guess would be H. ophrys.
Yes, they do! There are many species of jumping spiders in England. Salticus Scenicus (zebra spider) should be the most common one there. Some are quick, and some are shy, but many of them would stop to look at you. ^^
Alex Kadon Yes! You can find jumping spiders in all countries, except Iceland and the poles. Most of the species live, however, in tropical countries. In the Philippines you can even find the most intelligent spider of all, the Portia jumping spider. They learn from experience and can make elaborate plans... Oh, and look up the peacock spiders. These australian spiders are cute bundles of joy. ^^
This is the Bob Ross of spider collecting
He's literally the Bob Ross of spider collecting and I love it.
MaxiTeyla so true!!
😂 i can't. This is correct
More like Ned Flanders...
Thank God! Two pieces of good news in one day! Not only is it Brexit 🇬🇧, but I’ve just discovered a biologist even more eccentric than me! Bless him!
This is the nerdiest thing I've ever seen! The outfit, the pouch, the tools, the vegetation striking techniques! Perfection.
I haven't graduated to a whistle or gps, but, but the rest is worth it for me.
And so awesome !!
That’s what I call “adorkable”. 💕 🤓
This guy is hardcore. He don't mess about.
This animal crossing guide was a lot better than I expected

Where I live we have jumping chihuahua spider everywhere -_- ugly things 😂
Lucky! Maybe you will discover a new species on your own!

I envy the fact youse guys have Peacocks but not having to check your shoes for the nasty real spiders hahaha
This man is a precious angel. Adorable. Also, very informative. I'll have to go spider hunting when it warms up.
this is a duplicate comment.

well, you can always read his papers
"Oh my gosh there's a spider. A jumping spider!"
Joseph Brown hahaha, I was stoked about that too. This guy is the shit.
Live successful unintentional demo 😂😂😂😂
That was so cute lol 🥰
Like pokemon but real
That's where they got the idea.

Maybe after watching this I'll find more of those adorable creatures. :)
Yeah
Same here
Yeah I live in Arizona so I've never seen a jumping spider in my life
same
@@Dylan-bl8dc There are at least 100 species of jumpers in Arizona.
Amazing and very detailed. You usually don't receive such an intense lesson. Very interesting.
You remind me of my biology II professor,I miss him. Love this video though, you’re very well educated with what you do!
This guy is awesome, spends his time collecting bugs. And he's happy, best part
I agree. And the variety is astounding, noticing bits of personality among so many species, sometimes big bits. It never gets old.

Me watching this so I can go outside later and catch some jumping spiders to keep as pets👁👄👁
Did you find any?
This is why I'm here lol
Funnily enough, I found a white jawed male jumper in my car earlier this evening. Lol.
I absolutely love this yesterday I was moving a jumping spider and it jumped to my hand and that’s when I knew that my own first pet would be a jumping spider
Very detailed and fun video. Makes me want to pick up the trade myself!
Dude thx so much ive found about 10 spiders today very helpful
An exceptionally helpful video. I'm about to start collecting again (in the UK) after a long lay-off - so thanks for reminding me of the basics - much appreciated.
Are there many interesting jumpers in England or is the zebra jumper the 'best' one?
i'd say that the zebra jumper is the most interresting one
@@julians.2597what?? Why it's so tiny
This was both informative and soothing. I've recently begun collecting specimens to document what I've found and observed. This was helpful!

You sir are one of a kind . Thank you for you being you !! Great video and info :)
Great tips, Wayne, and perfect timing for our AZ collecting excursion, which starts today. Motivated Daniel Zurek and I to go grab carpentry belts yesterday with nice leather pockets like yours.
We were jumping spider hunting and had to look for a video for tips. This is cool, thank you for loving spiders. Great video
Great video ! I wish you would've told us how to make a formidable beating sheet as yours though
Thank you for sharing I enjoy close up and Macro photography. Now I can catch photograph and release.
i'm so sad it's almost winter ! i'm so impatient for the good days to go collecting ! and thanks a lot for your video, it was very interesting !
well its summer now ive just seen 2 one baby and an adult that had white and black stripes i need to catch one of these
This is a professional at work. Over 40 years of experience. We don’t deserve this level of expertise for free
Thanks for this, had a lot of very useful info.. Now off to make a beating sheet
I initially thought he was going to blow his whistle and then chase the spider with the whacking stick....
remarcable video, very clear and well explained.
"This is my beating stick".
Thank you! I am trying to find a jumper to keep as a pet, and was having trouble. Going to try these methods!
Thank you for the wisdom. You have a lot of experience.
Very nice and detailed video of a fellow arthropod enthusiast.
Excellent lesson. Thank you very much.
only one species endemic to the UK. They are adorable but it makes me sad there aren't more.
Hey Wayne I just got a female Phidippus johnsoni, do you know where they usually hang out because I’m trying to breed the female.
untill today I was unaware that even collecting spider s have some standards,respect to this man
Wow a whole arsenal for a harmless cute critter 😂 this guy means business 😂👍🏻
When he said "happy lil bushes" i immediately thank of bob ross 0w0
Excellent video Wayne; thanks for sharing
I would like to see the equipments in the descriptions below
A whistle? how do you get lost in your backyard?
"Mom, *I'm not properly equipped* for jumping spider hunting. I'll need a full jumping spider gear and tools. Do you have a fanny pack too and your sun weather hat? I'm walking around nude looking for jumping spiders after watching this tutorial. Oh mom, do you still have that beating stick you used on me yesterday for getting an F on my fractions math test? I guess jumping spiders also have math issues."
for 43 years, how crazy
*his neighbors* “WTH, IS HE BEATING BUSHES WITH STICKS?” *him* “oh nah, I’m just looking for jumping spiders to add to my collection!” *neighbors* “😳-“
THIS IS A JOKE
Hi Wayne, we Love your video. I have a goal of identifying and recording an undiscovered insect or spider.
How much time should I spend, in 1 acre of land, before moving to the next acre?
Also, how much distance should my next acre be, from the last?
This is an amazing video!!! Great work and thanks for sharing!
Wayne Maddison, Master Spidernapper™
This video was absolutely hilarious 😂 now I know how to properly beat on vegetation. Thank you, for what you do
You have assisted me in finding a jumping spider alot easier, than just using the ol eyes
Excellent video!!! Great information.
What kind is 8:58? It looks so cool! Thank you! Please make more vids of these!
I hate when I get lost in my backyard. Thank goodness for whistles!
Hey I was wondering where I can buy a beating sheet online I bet collecting jumping spiders would be a whole lot easier if I got one.
Try BioQuip.
Wonderful video! I’m excited for spring to come around, I know there are dozens hiding in my 4 o’clocks each year :)
He’s got a tool belt for jumping spiders, thats serious.
What size glass vials are those? Also where can I find some?
Me watching this: oh these are great ideas for finding my next seasonal pet spider!
The guy: most people just catch them directly into alcohol
Me: D: oh
This looks fascinating and fun!
7:30 his wife deffo taking notes about the beating stick 😂
Wait what do you do with the spiders
Where can I buy a sheet like this? I can’t find ANYHING!!!
Did it's have jumping spider in frence ?
In France? Yes
What is the spider species at 5:29?
Cylistella. It's tiny, but it's an adult male. They look like small beetles. They live in tropical forests from Mexico into South America.
I like jumping Spider their are cool looking to me it seems like when I go out side sometimes I run into them sometimes or there run into me in away sometime jumping Spider do I do not take them out of the woods I live them in woods.

I don't think jumping spiders hunt at night since they rely heavily on their vision. But are you thinking for other spiders?
I'm addicted to catching these little spiders. 😍 Sad snow is coming soon and won't be able to all winter 😔
I feel like I need him as a friend in my life. He means business. 😂
Thank you so much for the great info sir!!! 👍

I do not regret the mentality that brought me here
I'm in chilliwack bc do you have anything for sale plz
Hi was green and red. I was holding him and the ACE HOLE SMACKED OUT OF MY HAND 😭😢😢
Where do I get the tiny glass vials
Well fellas I’m off, I’ll catch y’all on the flippity flop, it’s spider hunting time

Im a little confused. Is it better to beat the vegetation or shake it?
Is dat harry potter stick are u using?
What if you whack the spider?😿 Thank you🕷️🎃 what do you do with a hundred spiders?
At first I thought he was collecting T bird eaters or like some huge mysterious new species in the amazon. I had to double check the title. Awesome!
