    I had no idea why spiders moved so creepily. I guess that explains it. The mechanics behind their movement is so different from everything else, that it gives us that uncanny valley feeling. Also explains why they curl up into a ball when they die, since they can't pump their hydraulics anymore. Wild.

      I don't think so... spiders are creepy because they can often be venomous. It's more adapative for humans to be wary of them than insects--which aren't as deadly. If spiders had the muscles, and insects the hydraulics, I think we'd be saying how creepy the muscle legs look.

      Spiders are marvelous examples of evolution. Also, their bodies have helped us revolutionize some aspects of mechanics, like needing less moving parts and instead of pullies, levers and cogs, the Hydraulic system they use to move has been integrated into robotics. The more you know lol

      actually not too crazy, in order for muscles to work you need something hard to pull/push off of, and many insect larvae lack the hard exoskeleton and need to move hydraulically. This is how inchworms inch and caterpillars crawl and its why their movements look somewhat like a spiders.

    0:20 Small correction: while it used to be believed that arachnids have a fused head and thorax like some other arthropods, the consensus is now that their ancestors never had a separate head and thorax to begin with. Because of this, the words cephalothorax and abdomen have recently been replaced by prosoma and opisthosoma as the preferred words for arachnid body segments.

It's only over the past few thousand years that humans have moved to continents with more aggressive spiders that you are likely to encounter on a more regular basis.

    Apparently our primate ancestors (and us) were/are allergic to certain types of spider venom, which may have caused us to be extra wary of them, as they could be a potential danger.

      That's why the Sydney Funnel-web is so dangerous. It's venom isn't anything special, but humans and other primates have lethal allergic reactions to it. (*Technically* it's not an allergic reaction, as it isn't the immune system freaking out that does it, but it's close enough for government work. In any case, very lethal to all primates.)

    1:25 useless linguistic fun fact: One way you can spot native speakers of English is that they are pretty much the only ones that routinely switch up 'ancestor' and 'descendant'.
    I have always been puzzled by this, but I think the reason is that the two words aren't as transparent as they are in other languages. In my native Danish, 'descendant' is "efterkommer" lit. "aftercomer" ('comer' as in 'newcomer'), and ancestor is "forfader" lit. "forefather".

      @gcharocks this is actually a misconception. there are many accounts of homes with even hundreds of brown recluses, without a single bite. they only bite when they're being actively crushed, so if you live in an area with them, just make sure you are shaking out clothes you leave on the floor (as they can see them as good places to hide, if you leave them out for a while) and don't have bed skirts (as they're actually unable to walk on walls or other slick surfaces, so fabric would be their only real way of getting into your bed). there is a reason they are called recluses, they don't want anything to do with you or any humans. and even if you were to be bitten, it is extremely unlikely that they would inject you with any significant amount of venom. it is at high cost to them to use their venom for anything other than their prey, so more often than not when people are bit by them, there is no greater reaction than any other spider bite. i highly recommend you learn more about them, as they are really not an animal you need to be afraid of. and that's not even to mention that they inhabit a much smaller habitat than people think (only really southeastern america). chances are you don't even have any within a 100 mile radius of you. i hope this helps :)

      the way spiders walk really is interesting and beautiful. i think people are often blinded by prejudice or fear and can't see the beauty in things. fear is natural, but its important to look past that initial reaction. i understand why they're not, but it would be cool if spiders were loved the way some other animals are

    what gives the spiders that strange aura is that they almost look engineered, robotic movement, no expression (no antennae, no wings, no nose), and finally: that big and pattern texture round belly, but what i have learned is that knowing how weak their poison is the less scary they become, sure it will hurt and the feeling of them knowing were are you and hidding from you can be uncomfortable, but understand that they are like that because spiders are more scare of you than you from them, the only spiders that will run at you instead from you are the ones that have stronger poisons.

    Attercopus is named after an old English word for a spider, which is attercop - literally 'eight(eyed)head'

      Are you certain that is the correct etymology? I was under the impression that atter was for poison, rather than for eight.

    Spiders’ ability to spin silk sets them apart. They use this silk for webs, wrapping prey, and even creating parachutes for "ballooning." This web-building behavior, which is absent in most other arthropods, adds to their mystique and, for some, their creepiness. They’re also often solitary, stealthy hunters with unique venomous methods of immobilizing prey.

    I would love to see some speculative evolution story about a world where vertebrates never came onto land and arthropods became the main land animals. Or a seed world where spiders were the main animals. I always had the feeling that if it weren't for vertebrates, spiders would have dominated the Earth.

    Not sure if anyone else has commented regarding the following, but if you're interested in etymology, 'Attercopus' comes from an old word for spider. From Wikipedia:
    'Its name is taken from the English dialect word attercop ("spider"), which came from Old English: attorcoppa ("poison-head"), from Old English: ator ("poison"), itself drawn from the Proto-Germanic *aitra- ("poisonous ulcer") and kopp- ("head").[2] In The Hobbit Tolkien had Bilbo use attercop to insult attacking spiders, the insult possibly deriving from its meaning in Northern England dialect of "peevish, ill-natured person". Cop or cob had also come to mean spider, as in cobweb.'
