This is why I like watching your videos. You have diversity that most channels don't. Thank you So much for sharing...and I am excited to have learned something new today that I just shared with my husband about the Brazilian Wandering Spider. He was amazed about it as well. Hope you and everyone have a Safe, Blessed and Wonderful day 😊❤🕸️🕷️🕸️❤️😊
The ogre faced spider is one of the coolest to me, it casts a web net with its front legs and stalks prey, when something gets roo close it lunges with its net to catch it
Very informative video! Loved collaborating with you, hopefully I can contribute to more educational projects like this one! 🤜🤛 BTW Golden Orb Weavers are also known to catch snakes! When you break their web, you can sometimes hear it "snap", that's how strong it is! Amazing creatures!
Great episode and would love to see more like this because there are so many different species with so many different hunting styles. Please do more 🙌 and wish you all the best and hope you have a great day 🙋♂️✌️
I collected harvestmen spiders this summer and found that they eat both meat (chicken, beef) and fruit. True spiders did eat the meat as well. And all spiders did in fact eat dead insects I had killed. Unfortunately the harvestmen were eventually exterminated by large predatory beetles... RIP
I’ve been binge watching spider documentaries lately. This is so well done! Definitely one of my favorite videos from you. I started off with tarantulas, and it’s now sparked a fascination with all spiders for me! 😁
Have you gotten into jumpers yet? They are absolutely a joy, I have four of them rn, some that I’ve caught and some I’ve bought, have kept eight so far. A few died from old age and a few I’ve let go since I was just rehabbing them. A freeloader came in my roommates room when winter hit, so I was obligated to get him a room in the house😅 The thing with spiders to me is that It’s such a gift to encounter something that has been confirmed to have both cognition and awareness beyond what we thought, yet despite that and despite them being unfathomably in more danger of us than we ever could be of them are more willing to trust us (who are a trillion times bigger than they are) more than we are willing to trust them.
@@Anton-qc1fk Yes, we have two jumping spiders and they're amazing! I love how inquisitive and personable jumpers are. It's a pity they have such short lifespans.
I had a really bad infestation of Florida wondering spiders in my home in Washington an it was bad one bit my ex in her side it ate her flesh away a half inch deep the fang marks were about 2-3 centimeters apart
Fascinating overview of a few spiders I wasn't even aware of (notably that giant golden orb weaver). There was a time when I could be surprised by what spiders might eat, but I've come to realize they're just not that picky and can and will evolve to eat whatever presents itself. If they could grow large enough, I'm sure they'd be eating any silly primates that stumble into their sphere of influence :).
Man Richard. I could have EASILY watched this video if it was an hour long. Would love more short form videos like this one if long form videos aren't something you want to do. Excellent video the only critique I have is it went by too fast and I wanted to watch more 😊
I bet earlier 19th century diving gear was developed by someone after seeing and studying the diving Bell spider. We learn more from nature than anything else. Thanks 😊
Super cool video but im surprised you didn't include the pelican spider as it is one of the most interesting spiders plus as a fellow Stewart pelicans are in the Stewart Crest
I think you should do Ogre Spider! Why I absolutely love Jumping spiders, the Ogre Spider takes the win! That face....those Big Eyes....and they way they catch there prey is amazing! 😂 I laugh because they look like grumpy old men, but absolutely amazing spider in my book!❤
Wow! Although spiders are mostly known to be predatory, they can and will switch to a herbivorous diet if prey is scarce and they can even be considered pollinators!
That whole Cyclosa genus is a trip. I had a C. turbinata for awhile this summer and it sure was goofy. Makes line of trash across the web and hides in it. Spins wildly when disturbed and then plays dead.
Jumping spiders are so cute. 😍 They were one of the main factors of me wanting to get over my arachnophobia. Thanks to those cute little guys I'm no longer scared of spiders.
I wonder for the bird poo idea... If it was like a spider saw bird poop and just went "Yes... that" or it they just made the design and it just so happen to resemble the bird poop and worked...
Apart of me was sad you didn't talk about one species of spider that consumes around 60-70% nectar for their diet. The Bagheera Kiplingi is the species im bringing up they actually live cohesively because their is less food scarcity. There are 2 localities one being more vegetation reliant the other being more insect reliant. I have seen jumping spiders eat watermelon and stuff, so overall its incredibly intriguing to see this behavior elsewhere. I think its cool that some spiders are omnivores its as cool as when I found out vipers can be insectivores ^^ Thank you for sharing this video.
Is there anyway I could talk to you face to face I’m a new pinktoe avicularia acivularia owner and I’m constantly feeling like I’m not doing enough. Tarantula collective please help I wanna strive I’ll pay if I have too
Depends if they eat a lot of poisonous things and if you ate one if they did, if you meant venomous to the point it can harm humans I don’t think so? There’s a few videos of people handling some of the bigger ones that almost convinced me to have a few as pets
Thanks. It is always so hard waiting when I upload a video early. I really just want to make it public right away but the algorithm demands consistency...lol.
Great video as always! Your production value, music, imagery, really does make your content a joy to watch. During the last video I was wondering, how many spiders do you have in your collection? The rows of enclosures in your backdrop are really impressive, are you at the point where its not any longer feasible to count them all? 😜
Wow, thank you! I have a video where I give you a tour of the studio and explain how many tarantulas and other animals I have. You can watch it here if you want more info: ruclips.net/video/87NObrFpNCQ/видео.htmlsi=mH565wEytB04cJn8
I absolutely love these nature type informational videos! Would love to see more! ❤ (also I’ve seen pictures of a huntsman with a rat. Is that a normal thing? Or a doctored picture? )
Interesting. So here's a question for you, Richard. In the last few years a new, invasive spider has been noted here in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. I know it's an orb weaver and they create huge webs. Can the Golden Orb Weaver noted in this video be the same as the one now being seen here in the south? I don't know it's Latin name, but it is called the Joro Spider as a common name.
The orb weaver featured in this video is the Nephila pilipes (Golden Orb Weaver), the Joro Spider is the Trichonephila clavata. They are different species from a different genus. Juro spider females get up to about a 4in leg span where the Golden Orb Weaver female can get to a legspan of nearly 8in. So as big as the Joro spider is, the Golden Orb Weaver is nearly twice their size!
I have yet to see a Joro spider in person though. They havent crept up this far north yet, but every time I am in southern WV I keep an eye out for them.
@tarantulacollective Thank you for the clarification of both species. I live in North Carolina, but in the Appalachian's near the Georgia border, so I doubt I'll get to see a Joro here. I think it would be a bit too cold here. I'd love to see one though. But who knows, we have Japanese Hornets and Africanised Honey bees here.

it is featured in the next video like this!
The only spider let me rip out my retinas really quick. I need new eyes.😂😂
In fairness, that is another one of the most amazing adaptations in a spider.
So cute with their grumpy little faces! 🥰
Very informative video! Loved collaborating with you, hopefully I can contribute to more educational projects like this one! 🤜🤛
BTW Golden Orb Weavers are also known to catch snakes! When you break their web, you can sometimes hear it "snap", that's how strong it is! Amazing creatures!
Thanks so much for supplying footage of the Golden Ord Weaver! I look forward to working together more in the future.
Great episode and would love to see more like this because there are so many different species with so many different hunting styles. Please do more 🙌 and wish you all the best and hope you have a great day 🙋♂️✌️
There is another one already in the works!
@@tarantulacollective nice can’t wait 🙌
Hello great video information Richard
The jumper covered in nectar melted my heart! What a bunch of cool spider species!
I see my avicularia diversipes eat sphagnom and put this on his web for decoration to hahah😂😅
01:05 "And remember, kids, to always clean your chelicerae after dinner!"
5:13 - wtf trigger that bitey boi so much, it flailed???? ahahahahah amazing videos and fascinating hobby!
Great video as always, Richard. (By the way, I think you meant world)
thanks so much! both for the support and spell checking! Sometimes my mind moves faster than my fingers...lol.
I collected harvestmen spiders this summer and found that they eat both meat (chicken, beef) and fruit. True spiders did eat the meat as well. And all spiders did in fact eat dead insects I had killed. Unfortunately the harvestmen were eventually exterminated by large predatory beetles... RIP
The Cyclocosmia ricketti I think is one of the most bizarre looking trapdoor spider!
Just got myself a P. vittata in addition to my GBB. Be careful people, this addiction is real :D
I’ve been binge watching spider documentaries lately. This is so well done! Definitely one of my favorite videos from you. I started off with tarantulas, and it’s now sparked a fascination with all spiders for me! 😁

Awesome. I received my tye dye t shirt today its amazing really think and sturdy material too.
Very cool! I am so happy that you are happy!

Also the Toxeus magnus as it produces a milk like substance for young
that laugh at the end 🥴LOL
Spiders are certainly some of the most fascinating creatures we have on earth. It`s interesting to see how many abilities and differences they have.
So just when I thought there was nothing cuter than a jumping spider, along comes one covered in nectar! 😍
Great video! How about bolas spiders? That’s another bizarrely fascinating method of hunting 👍🏼
i will check them out!
I think you should do Ogre Spider! Why I absolutely love Jumping spiders, the Ogre Spider takes the win! That face....those Big Eyes....and they way they catch there prey is amazing! 😂 I laugh because they look like grumpy old men, but absolutely amazing spider in my book!❤
Super🕸️Cool
Absolutely love wee jumping spiders! Sooo cute🥰🫶🏻
Anyone know the what species of jumping spider that was a 0:44?
Interesting video Richard I heard this about the jumping spiders too drinking the saps and eating vegetation AMAZING
Wow! Although spiders are mostly known to be predatory, they can and will switch to a herbivorous diet if prey is scarce and they can even be considered pollinators!
That whole Cyclosa genus is a trip. I had a C. turbinata for awhile this summer and it sure was goofy. Makes line of trash across the web and hides in it. Spins wildly when disturbed and then plays dead.
Learned something new today about spiders. Thanks!
Dude just found your channel after finding so many around my job. Forgot I had this fascination with them haha. Thanks for doing all these videos!
Jumping spiders are so cute. 😍 They were one of the main factors of me wanting to get over my arachnophobia. Thanks to those cute little guys I'm no longer scared of spiders.
Anything Australian with eight legs is both scary and deadly...
I wonder for the bird poo idea... If it was like a spider saw bird poop and just went "Yes... that" or it they just made the design and it just so happen to resemble the bird poop and worked...
I will get a few jumping spider's, they've grown on me I'm loving them now 🕸🕷🖤
👍👍👍
Another masterpiece! 👏👏👏
Wow, thank you!
Spiders are so fascinating and I love learning about them. They're a joy to observe.

Thank you for sharing this video.
I would like to see the ogre face spider, and the the assassin spider
Bat fly.. has 8 legs. Let.that roll around in ur head
Awesome video minus the weird laugh at the end.
Spider: you didn't see me eating my veggies in fact we never met 😂
Am not sure of you done but what about lost un webbed spiders
Is there anyway I could talk to you face to face I’m a new pinktoe avicularia acivularia owner and I’m constantly feeling like I’m not doing enough. Tarantula collective please help I wanna strive I’ll pay if I have too

Amazing video I love orb weavers ??? Are they poisonous??
Depends if they eat a lot of poisonous things and if you ate one if they did, if you meant venomous to the point it can harm humans I don’t think so? There’s a few videos of people handling some of the bigger ones that almost convinced me to have a few as pets
Thank you for your presentation.
Great video!
thanks!
Even spiders need their fruits and veggies
such a cool video well done!!!!
That white spider bruh
Yay I love ur videos Rich and I truly enjoy them for real keep up the great work
Thanks. It is always so hard waiting when I upload a video early. I really just want to make it public right away but the algorithm demands consistency...lol.
I am from a local area in india and we use to eat the orb weaver by frying it during our younger days😂
That’s disgusting

tldr: about 220 spiders and a bunch of other inverts and reptiles

Cool af
All these unique abilities and yet people still think evolution and random chance caused all of this 🤦🏼♂️
Bat-eating spiders have the the most metal thing ever.
This is nice 👍🏾
