    More people need to watch these shows. Forty years ago I was watching "The Living Earth" and "Nature" and those nature documentaries instilled a love for ecology and biodiversity. Today, we are fortunate to still have decent documentaries like this that focus on the life without having to resort to shitty soundtracks and loud, nonsensical narration, not to mention unnecessary and often invasive interaction with wildlife. I guess some need greater entertainment value but that's a shame because our natural world is spectacular and the work that Attenborough and the BBC crews do to capture these moments is just as impressive.

      100 % true.. The older documentaries are more in tune with the animals than today's, which I feel focus more on loud soundtracks and the new technological equipment that's been enhanced for our viewing pleasure.

    This isn't a new video. BBC included this in a previous documentary some years ago - sorry I don't recall exactly when. The narration may have been re-recorded with an older David Attenborough, but the footage, pote tially exactly the same based on memory, is certainly re-used. That said, the natural abilities of this spider are, and remain, absolutely amazing. Spiders are incredible creatures in ability and intelligence.

It wasn't in a corner but smack dab dead center with nothing close by above below or to the sides. I was thinking, how in the world did she do that.
    Wind. DUH. I guess I'm stupid, because it seems obvious now. lol
