In Poland the mass spider ballooning happens at a specific time of year, to the point there's a name for it. It's named "Babie Lato", which can be roughly translated to "Old ladies Summer". The event most often happens in the second half of September.
Same thing in Lithuania, but we call it "bobų vasara". It's a common misconception that "bobų" comes from "boba" which means "an old woman". It's far more likely the name comes from "bobas" - an old folk name for a certain kind of spider that make webs among crops.
The spider thing has happened multiple times while growing up in Oklahoma. It was usually baby spiders that covered the webs that flew through the air. And, it was usually around fall, right before the weather started to get really cold. The only reason I remember this so clearly is because it happened during my time in marching band, and we somehow had to march through the rain of webs without freaking out lol
@hit.me.at.911 Yes. I'm afraid raining spiders isn't a good excuse to cancel a halftime performance. Marching band was the only entertainment for the crowd while the football players were taking their midgame break. That, and it was good practice for when we'd go compete against other high school marching bands.
Thanks a lot I live in Oklahoma & until I forget about this it's going to freak me out. It's going to be a rough few minutes. I'd have definitely quit right then. Nope sorry I'm out. I actually kind of like spiders but that's just freaky.
@Nirrrina well, this happened in 2014 and 2015. Haven't seen it since. So there's a good chance that if you haven't seen spiders raining from the skies already, you probably won't. So don't freak out too much lol
Me (18) was watching one of your ‘WTF Is that!’ videos and my dad (52) happened to peep over my shoulder and watch it with me. Now everytime you post I yell at him ‘LINDSAY CONTENT’ and we both sit on the couch and cast your videos! Keep up the awesome work queen!!
Extremely Wholesome way to bond I love this. My father and I also bond over knowledge, we’re Evo freaks and he’s very much an ancient aliens guy lol 💓💓
I love how despite the large amount of cursing and generally horrifying content that Lindsay covers, she still somehow ultimately gives off wholesome vibes 🖤
That's extremely irrelevant but as a greek person being able to understand how simple those "scientific looking" (to english ppl) words are is very funny like a literal translation is "helping hairs" for one of the words used in the video. Also seeing english ppl trying to pronounce them is always very entertaining
I feel the same when I realize some ancient mythology sounds more like fairy tales. Not "The entity Chaos gave birth to the gods Erebus and Nyx", but "Chaos gave birth to Night and Darkness" and so on.
The antmill happened to be in my bedroom when I was little. It didn't scare me, I was just intrigued as to why they were doing it. My mother said there was the queen in the middle. Thank you for letting me know what it really was!
I don't remember what my mother did, I was like seven at the time, but I think she swept them across the floor to the door window with the broom or something like that and then swept them out.

Lindsay talking about the Mormon crickets and you got me getting ready to hear that they aren’t actually mormons and not being true crickets lol Damn I thought we’d see the raise of the world’s first religious bug lol
@@spudthepug genuinely this logic is scientific in terms of what comes out of Mormonism. It would be a fascinating theology if it weren’t founded on and responsible for mass cover ups of csa Like it’s still a fascinating theology but like... any good that could’ve been in there is like, there’s an extraction process, and it’s not a _remotely_ functional model for existing as a human being
Lindsay and Mamadou (aka causal geographic) would be the science teachers that would get the student standing ovation at the graduation This is top tier learning
You and Casual Geographic give me perfect content to binge when I’m high as fuck and just want to learn about animals. I wanta see you both kicking it one day making a video together in person. That would be dope!
So, the fields near where my family live (Dorset, UK) get covered with webs in the winter. It’s not thick and is invisible if you’re in said field, but if the sun hits it, then it looks like a blanket or frost from the distance when the webs reflect. It’s actually beautiful and is one of the things I look forward to seeing when I visit at Christmas.
I teach preschool and have been doing that for decades. One of the most beautiful experiences happened one bright sunny morning when two spider egg balls hatched at the same time. The pinhead sized spiderlings shining bright and golden fled from the eggsack each finding a high point from which to spin their first web and parachute to parts unknown . Their little webs glistened in the morning sun . In about 20.minutes the were all gone. It was beautiful.
My green house got turned into a hold jumping spider haven of sorts, there’s A LOT of them. Like they would hitch rides back inside my house without me knowing. So my question is if they do live communally together? They do seem to have a slightly higher degree of intelligence compared to other spiders so just curious
the only known species of ~mostly~ herbivorous spider is a type of "quasi-social" jumping spider and they either live alone or in groups of up to hundreds of individual jumping spiders. I also just read a paper that found that raising jumping spiders in a group makes them smarter because they learn from each other by watching each other and i think that's so cute it's literally like kittens watching each other do things and then immediately trying out what their brother/sister did and the thought of lil baby jumping spiders doing the same is giving me cuteness aggression lolol
My all time favourite SF novel features jumping spiders as a major character class. (OK, Uplifted jumping spiders (deliberate caps, there is a spaceship called "Brin" in it)). Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Strongly recommended.
So I have a question, Lindsay.... How old do regular house spiders tend to get? Think cross spiders and the like. Also is it super weird if someone would let the cross spider in their kitchen window (that they named Gloria) thrive and survive instead of kicking her out? Note that Gloria pays rent in the form of fruitfly carcasses and the human is amused and content with her presence :D
I remember seeing a video of a guy who cared for a spider until she was very elderly, and when she got too old to catch prey, he mixed protein in the water he was giving her and got her spinning again at a very old age. It was quite impressive. I don't recall just how long he had her, though, I think it couldn't have been much more than a year.
I watch both of your channels every time you post. The way you orate about the different biologies, etc of the creature is what keeps me coming back, personally. Another great video!
Love seeing you and Casual Geographic collab! I’d love to see your take on Bombardier Beetles and their insane defense mechanism. Bugs wig me out but I remember watching this old NatGeo VHS as a kid and being so intrigued by them. Loved this vid!
I was maybe 5 yrs old in Midland TX, and I remember there being locust everywhere. I had seen Nausica, and their shells looked just like the giant bugs in the cartoon. For years I kept wondering where they went, no one told me they hybernate for years at a time.
omg if you do a video on weevils i would love for you to mention the city in alabama with a literal monument to the boll weevil. you have to see the statue, it is incredible.
Wow. You just explained a phenomenon that I experienced years ago here in Buenos Aires. The sky was full of what looked like little pieces of silk floating around, and suddenly there were 7 spiders crawling all over you constantly. It was amazing, but fucking scary. Love this channel!
Found you via your appearance on Milo’s miniminuteman RUclips channel. You do not disappoint. Am binging your content now. Appreciate your real way of teaching. Keep it real!
I wonder how someone would stop an ant death spiral because that's so sad. Also congrats on your collab you were dying to have :) Keep up the great content, Lindsay. I love learning like always. Look at you repping your merch :3
HELL YEAH NEW COLLAB Question! How do deep sea animals that live in extreme water pressures survive in normal water? For example how some aquariums have giant isopods
Some invertebrates can do it because of the exoskeleton, but need cold water with a v high oxygen content due to 'breathing' through diffusion Vertebrates can't be kept at v different pressures as there's no armour to keep us in one piece
My gf and I were driving down a country road, windows down, and we saw a smallish spider walking on the dashboard. When it got a few inches from her window, it stuck its butt in the air and stood very much like the one at 1:28 ...I said, watch that one closely, you'll see.... and suddenly the spider seemed to lift off and head straight for the window, butt-first! It was exciting for us, and I'm sure for the spider as well, he got out in 25 mph winds....🙃
Both my favorite youtubers at it again. Had to bookmark this video to really take my time with this masterpiece, informative and entertaining, love it!
How have I never heard about Weevils??? Name? 10/10 Species? 97000/10 Aesthetics? 11/10 Age? 170,000,000/10 Facts I couldn't gather from a guick Google search? ?/10 Looking forward to that video!! Also great video! Spider rain was something I also did not know existed, but I am admittedly less enthralled to have learned.
I never realized how BIG turkeys could get a public rose garden in my Oakland neighborhood was invaded by some seriously huge turkeys. The biggest were in excess of 3 feet tall local parents who usually brought the infants for some free outdoor time were threatened by their size and bold behavior.
I love wild turkeys! We have several flocks locally and we are too dumb to build second stories, so we just keep expanding our city, so more and more wild animals get urbanized :( but they do brighten my day! They are big but I was chased by a farm turkey in my childhood, and those things are mean ass monsters. The wild turkeys that live on one of our campuses have learned how to use the crosswalk to traverse a very busy street! Altho we have some decency left, ducks and turkeys have right of way on even the busiest city streets.
we unloaded bags of feed off the truck last week and after we pulled the first stack, in between the stacks we saw literally 1000's of baby spiders just hatched crawling everywhere. It was CREEPY! we left the product outside for a couple days. I can imagine if they were ballooning spiders how it would be pure horror.
Your content is incredible, so amazingly informative and presented in a way that both engages and entertains. I found one upload of yours and have gone down the old proverbial rabbit hole and have since invested in a terrestrial snorkel and air purification apparatus lol Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
For anyone wondering about that cricket madness, that's literally the biblical locust swarm stories, it was just those dude's past-tense cousins doing the exact same thing.
Can I just say thank you SO SO MUCH for the arachnophobia warning and time stamp. I almost skipped this video because the thumbnail had spiders, but I love your content so much I was going to try to skip that part on my own, but I didn’t have to!
Seriously only recently started to watch your videos....newer subscriber. but i FXING LOVE Your style of presentation. You have a FANTASTIC way of presenting to keep the information interesting and engaging. thank you for the work and keep it up, I know its harder than some people realize, but the quality of your videos are more than worth it. KEEP ON ROCKIN ✊❤🤘
Wholesome turkey story for this creepy video: My uncle was raising turkeys on the family farm, but there were also wild (or feral, not sure) turkeys in the area. One of the wild turkeys came over and made friends with the domesticated turkeys through the fence.
I witnessed the tail end of a spider rain in South Australia, i.e. one morning the entire area where I lived was invaded by small spiders, and the ground was covered in a net of spider silk. That was back in the late 60's and finally I know wtf was going on.
You know, years ago, my grandmother and I were on a walk in the park, and we saw a moving group of those gnat larvae. We didn’t know what they were, but until I saw them mentioned on your channel, I didn’t know how to look them up, and I thought about it every once in a while on walks. Crazy stuff. In short, thank you for easing my conscience.
Spiders are so successful at ballooning that an experiment was done once where they went high up in a very high altitude balloon into the stratosphere, vacuumed the air where they thought that nothing was alive. They actually found spiders in the filters, completely frozen solid, some of them nearly microscopic. As they thawed out they reanimated and were completely alive once again. This is how these tiny spider species can be found around the globe. These tiny spiders can travel thousands of miles from their original home, crossing oceans and continents, where they thaw out and go right back about their business.
4:28 as a kid I was in middle school in the mid 80s during one of the "uber" spawns, I remember the sound, in the mid day it would be so loud teachers would close windows
Seen a flock of hawks the other day flying above my house. It was epic, acouple groups flying across the sky with babies and their parents. They would circle an area for alittle than fly off about 100 yards and circle again
3:13 so does this mean that a side effect of teleportation is that, once casted, it will cause all nearby spiders to panic and go into fight or flight mode?
Definitely due for another collab! Really enjoyed this 😁 if you've never seen it, I'd recommend checking out the behaviour of Hedgehogs anointing - if you don't know what it is, it looks like they're having a seizure. Both wild and domestic ones do it if they've tastes something new. They'll froth it up in their mouth, contort into all sorts of positions and lick it onto their backs 😬
Another co-lab? This time with Casual Geographic? OMG I am happy!!!!!! so happy. your build the community and bringing people together and talking about my favourite stuff. loljuicy content
i love the colabs, i also really like your method of education. but i would really like some links to essays and other such materials so its easier to fall into a rabbit hole. P.S. Can you do a video including specifically fire ants?

We have several flocks locally and we are too dumb to build second stories, so we just keep expanding our city, so more and more wild animals get urbanized :( but they do brighten my day! They are big but I was chased by a farm turkey in my childhood, and those things are mean ass monsters. The wild turkeys that live on one of our campuses have learned how to use the crosswalk to traverse a very busy street! Altho we have some decency left, ducks and turkeys have right of way on even the busiest city streets.
we unloaded bags of feed off the truck last week and after we pulled the first stack, in between the stacks we saw literally 1000's of baby spiders just hatched crawling everywhere. It was CREEPY! we left the product outside for a couple days. I can imagine if they were ballooning spiders how it would be pure horror.
Or pure magic, as long as you watch from a distance 😅
Your content is incredible, so amazingly informative and presented in a way that both engages and entertains. I found one upload of yours and have gone down the old proverbial rabbit hole and have since invested in a terrestrial snorkel and air purification apparatus lol Looking forward to seeing more of your content.
12:44 Iselda from Hollowknight is a weevil who literally does have a shop that sells trinkets. 😄
I just found out about snipe eels , they look pretty nuts, would love to see you cover them! Thanks for all the great videos
I appreciate this collabo. Ya'll are my two fav animal channels. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
For anyone wondering about that cricket madness, that's literally the biblical locust swarm stories, it was just those dude's past-tense cousins doing the exact same thing.
Locusts are different than those "crickets". Locusts were grasshoppers once and then in perfect conditions they morph into a locust
Mormon Crickets, despite they're name, are actually Episcopalians.
Can I just say thank you SO SO MUCH for the arachnophobia warning and time stamp. I almost skipped this video because the thumbnail had spiders, but I love your content so much I was going to try to skip that part on my own, but I didn’t have to!
I absolutely love the recent collaborations! Keep it up Lindsay, you're an inspiration to me!❤🎉
Love seeing y'all work together
Love the collabs. Great content.
Seriously only recently started to watch your videos....newer subscriber. but i FXING LOVE Your style of presentation. You have a FANTASTIC way of presenting to keep the information interesting and engaging. thank you for the work and keep it up, I know its harder than some people realize, but the quality of your videos are more than worth it. KEEP ON ROCKIN ✊❤🤘
Best crossover ever, i subscribed :D
0:40 Rain of Spiders. Remember, Gary loves you.
No way my two favorite nature creators on RUclips collaborated
Thanks to your info on spider rain I'm gonna always walk around with an umbrella. No matter the weather. Even indoors. I hope you're happy. 🤣
Wholesome turkey story for this creepy video: My uncle was raising turkeys on the family farm, but there were also wild (or feral, not sure) turkeys in the area. One of the wild turkeys came over and made friends with the domesticated turkeys through the fence.
I witnessed the tail end of a spider rain in South Australia, i.e. one morning the entire area where I lived was invaded by small spiders, and the ground was covered in a net of spider silk. That was back in the late 60's and finally I know wtf was going on.
The two MVPs of nature education RUclips, together again 🎉
ZeFrank needs a mention!
@@katiekane5247 he’s also one of my faves, but I consider him comedy first, education second
4:20 I imagine that's how humans are viewed by everything else on earth
Ants with PTSD is so sad 😢
The ant death spirals rarely end in death of the ants. They generally do find their way out. Most of the time they find their way out.
10:07 do you mean......... ANTarchy??
Wow I really don't have any original thoughts
I need more of you two together. You both are my favorite❤❤
You know, years ago, my grandmother and I were on a walk in the park, and we saw a moving group of those gnat larvae. We didn’t know what they were, but until I saw them mentioned on your channel, I didn’t know how to look them up, and I thought about it every once in a while on walks. Crazy stuff.
In short, thank you for easing my conscience.
Spiders are so successful at ballooning that an experiment was done once where they went high up in a very high altitude balloon into the stratosphere, vacuumed the air where they thought that nothing was alive. They actually found spiders in the filters, completely frozen solid, some of them nearly microscopic. As they thawed out they reanimated and were completely alive once again.
This is how these tiny spider species can be found around the globe. These tiny spiders can travel thousands of miles from their original home, crossing oceans and continents, where they thaw out and go right back about their business.
I'm gonna sleep great tonight, thanks/waves angry fist
😅
Thank you for another great video. Your word choices are amazing and highly entertaining.
Awesome video! Also, I keep seeing little black worms in my shower, do you have any clue as to why and what they are?
They might be small common millipedes.
@@maryeckel9682 they look like black worms or little grubs so idk if that’s what you meant but yeah
4:28 as a kid I was in middle school in the mid 80s during one of the "uber" spawns, I remember the sound, in the mid day it would be so loud teachers would close windows
13:07 which animals can eat the bobbitworm or hammerhead worm
I love so much when Lindsay and CasGeo collab!
Considering how me and my friends will wind up following eachother at the mall with no one actually leading i cant say much about the ants.
I do have a question actually! Lately I've been doing a lot of research on Dodos, and im curious if we know if they had a social structure or not?
Seen a flock of hawks the other day flying above my house. It was epic, acouple groups flying across the sky with babies and their parents. They would circle an area for alittle than fly off about 100 yards and circle again
3:13 so does this mean that a side effect of teleportation is that, once casted, it will cause all nearby spiders to panic and go into fight or flight mode?
Definitely due for another collab! Really enjoyed this 😁 if you've never seen it, I'd recommend checking out the behaviour of Hedgehogs anointing - if you don't know what it is, it looks like they're having a seizure. Both wild and domestic ones do it if they've tastes something new. They'll froth it up in their mouth, contort into all sorts of positions and lick it onto their backs 😬
Another co-lab? This time with Casual Geographic? OMG I am happy!!!!!! so happy. your build the community and bringing people together and talking about my favourite stuff. loljuicy content
I get goose bumps when I see a video with You and Casual Geographic.
A dynamic duo 😁
Best collab ever.
Is this the second one they've done? Or have they done more?
@@gobblinal Second one as far as I know.
4:06 the forbidden cotton candy
Song in BG at 9:15 is Hollow Knight OST Queens Gardens
i love the colabs, i also really like your method of education. but i would really like some links to essays and other such materials so its easier to fall into a rabbit hole. P.S. Can you do a video including specifically fire ants?
Love the song in the background. I watched a lot of The Volgun SCP readings so this always sets a tone for me.
If Lindsay can somehow learn more about giraffe weevils than i was able to I'd be so grateful.
