That femaleis a real beauty! But what a tease! Always gratifying when the male can walk away unharmed, and that boy was WAY under there! I almost had to skip ahead to see if he made it or not. Another fun and fascinating visit to The Beastie room! Thanks Dave!
It's my favorite person in the whole world! Hello Dave 👋 I didn't think you could get better footage of a pairing than you already had. I should have known better than that! Absolutely incredible!!! I've never seen anything like it....anywhere!
Amazing footage! I definitely believe it's quite painful for the females however, that little fella did an excellent job. He needed a bit of time to gather his confidence once he got a glimpse of her and her size, lol, but he went for it and I believe we'll see some magnificent results from this pairing. No doubt the little stud is feeling good about his performance 👍🏻
I can't get over the size difference! He is one strong little dude to hold her up. Just when I think your videos can't get any better, you come out with an even more amazing one! You and Camera Lady should be proud!
I swear I didnt quite comprehend the mating process until I saw your channels videos. You get some of the clearest footage available. Highly educational.
Amazing video. What a brave little guy. I was on the edge of my seat thinking that he was going to become a meal, but he did such a good job and she was so entranced that he will live to see another day. Beautiful spiders, great footage!! Thanks for doing this pairing justice.
Really cool! I think your theory about the female being startled/hurt holds more weight than the big protein meal one. It definitely makes more sense seeing how much of a barb is really going in. She might think it's a sneak attack or something, even. cheers :)
It's not like their parents were able to have the birds and the bees talk with their kids, lol, and since they're just going off instinct, I imagine getting poked in a quite sensitive area with long spikey appendages would be a bit of a shock and painful. It could be both, it could be this way so that in nature the female is encouraged to eat the males after insemination just in case they don't come across another food source until she has finished her job hatching out the egg sac. And during the trance/euphoria like state before some snap out of it and grab the males gives the males enough time to have the best chance possible for a more successful pairing, getting a few chances sometimes. Since seeing that the females stay quite irritated for a bit afterwards, I really do think it's not a pleasant feeling except for those few moments. I was really surprised how long she mostly stayed still. I think we see captive males get away more often due to the fact the females are well fed and you're also able to interfere if her instincts to take them out kick in. I think you really have something with your theory, and I'm in agreement that it could be both and it's that way in nature for survivability for the females and their offspring. Thank you for another excellent, informative, and well shot video Dave & Camera Lady xx
Wow Dave, you give Attenborough a run for his money. Your explanations and footage are amazing, I swear every one of your videos is a documentary. Thanks so much for sharing, what stunning spiders and incredible events you were able to capture!
Amazing footage, i cannot get enough of these creatures. Simply amazing. Gorgeous spiders! Initially i saw ‘Chilobrachys’ and i was ready for some Krachan, not disappointed at all this chilobrachys is bea-u-tiful! Good on you Dave and lovely Camera Lady, always a pleasure!
Your theory about why the females eat their males sounds real good and it makes a lot of sense. . And would make a great aspect of the spiders to study. You could write a paper and publish.
He should absolutely write his own paper or even a book on the subject. His knowledge is made evident by how the spiders respond to his husbandry. He seems to get way less male fatalities than a lot of others in the hobby. Not meaning to start another war on other hobbyists/UA-camrs, but Dave does seem to have the edge on most of the others I've seen. Still enjoy watching Dark Den and TK, though. TK's feeding videos are great, and DD is just pure entertainment all round. Not a massive fan of exotic's lair though because his ADHD way of speaking just causes me too much anxiety lol.
Love the video Dave! That pairing was intense, I was scared for the little male. The size difference between males and females in some of the species is insane, I don’t know what benefit it would have for the male. That was the best insertion I’ve seen on UA-cam! I usually can’t tell what’s happening when watching pairing videos but for the first time I actually saw it in this one. Another amazing video Dave! Hope it was successful!
Wow, if there was a "Tarantula filming Award", you would deserve it with this really ourstanding Video!!! I think an Insemination has been never filmed by an Amateur, even you're not one, in this quality.
It is crazy to see how small the male.os and the fact he is risking his life every time he try to mate .. It is amazing to watch a Tarantula mating . I fine them so fasnating
What an absolute beautiful spider, couldnt believe the size difference fascinating to see how different species react differently amazing footage as always dave.
Wow ! The size difference between the two is insane ! And yet, he went ahead and did what he had to do. Good luck on yet another sac, Dave. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)
Fantastic footage Dave as always. I agree with your theory regarding the discomfort. Especially after seeing this clip. She risked being out in the open, chose being outside her borrow to tend to the discomfort of her epigastric furrow. The tendency for the female to chomp the male does seem to be in primal response to pain; to protect herself. Lovely stuff!
I can't believe the size difference, the female is massive compared to the male. The male has certainly made sure, he hit the spot, several times. Hopefully the female is pregnant now. More babies it appears in about a month or so. Fingers crossed. Also I can see what you're saying about the female feeling uncomfortable afterwards, then lashing out, and frantically cleaning herself. Just lucky the male made a move, out of her way.
Dave!! She is absolutely lovley!! Your little male did an excellent job breeding your female. I hope she produces a fine eggsack for you! Good luck!!!❤
This is Jeff’s wife, Terry writing. I’m the tarantula enthusiast. This is fantastic footage! I’ve been looking for footage that shows everything clearly and this does. Great job!
Wow she is one huge mama compared to him. Ive watched many pairings and the Indian Violet is the most calm and lengthy pairing I have seen. She is very laid back and doesnt give the male any grief like some others Tarantulas do with their mates.
Holy Cow, The size difference is almost unbelievable, if i didn`t know that females are normally bigger i would have been shocked. Brilliant video again guys i have never seen the actually insertion until this video, amazing work.
Awesome video, Dave! What an absolutely stunning specimen your female is. I can't blame the male for his hesitancy to pair with her as she is at least 3 to 4 times his size. What a brave little guy.
I was so scared for the little male the whole time! Intensely fascinating and interesting! I have never anything like this! I would call this award winning, it's so incredible! I have always wanted to see this but never thought I would! I cannot compliment enough or have the exact words to describe this video. I am astonished, amazed, astounded 🤯
Could you imagine if spiders were as big as humans. Standing in front of that webbing would look awsome, scary but awsome. At 2.48 on the video was that your stomach rumbling lol. She is beautiful, great video 👍
She is saying, omgoodness, my first time, and it's out of this world, I don't ever want it to stop! lolol Where am I Toto....Antie M, I wanna go home, I wanna go home Auntie M! 😁
brilliant video Dave,love your i phone footage,i never really understood the insemination part before, i always thought that the males were fumblin about like i was as a teenager! have a great day mate
Wow, incredible filming, especially with your iPhone footage, in other species guess that little male would have been nailed ... gorgeous spiders.. definitely on my list now... thank you...
I gotta give some love to the camera woman. I wanna say her skills have improved allot over time but, she's always done a bang up job from what I can see. You two make a good team.
That was an amazing video, the close ups you got were outstanding! I think there may be something in your theory about the females eating the male. It looked quite uncomfortable for her and the frantic leg rubbing is her way of checking herself, making sure she's still in one piece 😁 Amazing stuff 😍
Absolutely fantastic Dave, that was a brilliant pairing and the little male did a super job. Brilliant footage aswell Dave, Another triumph for yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave .
I agree with Tim K, this is amazing footage 👏! Thank you Dave and sweet Camera Lady for yet another fantastic video and I wish you both a great day! Such a wonderful pair of beautiful tarantulas and I hope a very successful pairing (s)! I hope she will drop an eggsack too soon, good luck! Hugs ❤🥰🤗, Susanne.
Cracking spiders Dave. Any chance that in the future husbandry and care videos of giving temperatures in Celsius? I don't know of anyone (apart from in the USA) who uses the old imperial temperature scales, and thermometers are all in metric. Keep up the good work.
Your photography is amazing! How is the egg sack produced and delivered? Any videos on that? The size differences are stunning. So weird and interesting, your little beasties! Signed, Laurie the recovering arachnophobe. Lol.
@@daveslittlebeasties yes please! I was working around the house watching UA-cam but had to stop when I saw your video. Your videos are just so informative and I don't want to miss 1 thing! Even though I am scared of spiders and have NO intention of owning one. It's for me the education you bring along with your videos that I do so much enjoy.
@@hollyking8626 Dave’s videos have helped me so much with my arachnophobia. I am being serious when I tell you even touching a photo of a spider would give me the willies. I still don’t want to own one, but I’m much more tolerant and even gently evict spiders from my house (only if they are out and about, I don’t go looking for them). I hear Dave in my head “ be kind, be gentle and love your spiders”. The last part…more like I’m tolerant and curious which is a 180 from where I was. His videos are so interesting. He’s a fabulous teacher.
Hey Dave! I was very impressed with this footage ( and by reading the comments, I know I’m FAR from the only one ), this footage was so closeup and you could see everything! Just when I thought you couldn’t improve anymore, that you were a God Level UA-camr, you become even more God-Like! Absolutely fantastic stuff Dave! Your channel is among my favourites to watch, you’re definitely in the Top 5 coming in at #4, after #3 Wickens Wicked Reptiles, #2 Paul Cuffaro, # 1 Tom’s Road Trippin. All of which are animal channels ( the last one films different locations and is not always animals though ), I don’t think you’ll be surprised that I follow all animal channels except for 2 which are gaming channels as I do like a good gaming video every now and then! I follow 39 channels overall although some have 2-3 channels. Great video Dave, hopefully you see this and reply and I’ll see you Monday! Best wishes from Ontario Canada Mate! ( it’s starting to get very cold here, the wrath of Canadian winter is upon my town and let me tell ya, winter in Canada is no joke ).
@@daveslittlebeasties A T shirt eh? I’ve grown used to Canadian winter but it’s not fun getting up at 6AM ( sometimes earlier ) to shovel 40-85 cm of snow. We do get at least 2 big snow storms a year in my area. Also -40 weather as well. Sometimes not as cold but still cold. Have fun beating Tom, Dave. No one has ever been able to do it. But as they say: Two Titans meet, two legends will clash for dominance. Only one can be King.
@@daveslittlebeasties Btw: i still can’t believe how big your channel has grown! I got here when you were slightly over 1K if I remember correctly, you were at 1.3K. I’m so proud of you Dave! Keep grinding pal!
Hey Dave, I´ve been following your channel for quite a while now. I almost like the way your able to impart the information about this beautyful creatures more, than the footage itself! You´ve got a microphone voice and I love your english, it´s perfect to understand, the right look anyways :) You should go on TV and convince the ignoramus to be more cannier with spiders. Go on like this and all the best for you! st
Tarantulas are amazing. Their is like over 1000 types of tarantulas in the world and I got to say my favourite is the GBB ...I just love the bright colours abd the amount of wedding they do in their enclosure
Absolutely amazing footage Dave, the camera lady did a great job, I couldn't believe the size difference between the 2 spiders and I thought for sure she was gonna chomp him but he survived. Fingers crossed she drops a sack and u get lots of babies 👍🤟
stunning camera work to catch this parring PROFF. another fine project coming to the well deserved beastie room. brilliant camera lady as usual. amazing video. thanks guys take care
Your videos are always amazing, Dave. You have such deep knowledge of these reclusive animals. Your insights into spider behaviour should be explored further by experts. You're a great educator!
That's a brave little boy. Taking on a lady five times his size.
"Death by Snu-Snu" is a way of life for some of these guys.

Loved the video couldnt stop watching was in fear for the little guy but worked out well , amazing
He is so small compared to her holy crap...She is MASSIVE, also very surprised she didn't eat him haha. She's very calm, what a nice T
I've never seen better footage!! This is FANTASTIC! Great job by the both of you.
Your mating theory makes the best sense that is the most plausible reason for the attack on the male
Hell, absolutely stunning footage today. The Oscar for animal documentaries must be introduced for both of you. 👍😎😁
So glad you enjoyed it 👍🙏
These creatures take 'awkward sex' to a new level haha. Absolutely fascinating.
Very nice camera work. Ive never seen it close up like this.
You & Camera Lady make the best team, I love how she takes over for all the babies when it’s time, perfect 👍

Your videos are always amazing, Dave. You have such deep knowledge of these reclusive animals. Your insights into spider behaviour should be explored further by experts. You're a great educator!
