    It always amazes me when I find hundreds of them grouped together under a log

    amazing content! Love seeing animals in their living spaces, and you being careful not to hurt them in any way; just examining and showing us how they look.

      Thank you! I do my best to avoid harming animals: this the duty of anyone who chooses to interact with fauna in the wild (as well as domestic). :D

    Oh, I really like harvestmans. I'm actually breeding 5 of them, and I've just gotten interest in the harvestman in this vidio too. Thank you for introducing us such a beautiful creature.

    I like harvestmen because they were my introduction to harmless inverts. They also remind me of the striders from half life

      Vonones Ornata specie are cuter and way more handleable than those guys

    I love how when you touch them, they run away maniacally, as if they are in a cartoon.

    When they get that big they are normally very old and haven't long to live. Loved them as a kid. We just called them daddy long legs and would put our hands down for them to walk across. After a while they realized they were on some large animal and would walk off fast.

    Really cool, harvestmen are fascinating. Recently found a Egaenus Convexus, its body was the size of a coin

    So I think these bog ones have now arrived in Germany. I remember seeing one when I was 16 years old but then never again, and now they can be found in really big aggregations

    Absolutely fascinating wildlife video. Harvestmen are such delicate creatures that I actually feel kind of sad for them, thinking of how they often lose their limbs.

    I wish their long skinny legs didn't freak me out because I think they are fascinating creatures.

    Thank you so much for knowing they are called harvestmen. Not a spider. Not the daddy long leg.

      We also have cellar spiders and a giant hornet with a triangular abdomen that I haven’t identified for seen ever again… Might just be a queen.

    How do they take lizards?

    • @GeneralApathy
      @GeneralApathy  2 роки тому +2

      I’m not entirely sure, especially considering that they possess no venom, but there’s at least one record of such an occurrence. There are some that have a legspan greater than 20cm, so size is likely quite an important factor. I have seen a video of one picking up an autotomized skink’s tail (that was still writhing) in its chelicerae though.
