    These gorgeous spiders are responsible for ridding me of my spider fear! But I had no idea they were found in England, amazing. I've only been aware of the Gandanameno from Africa and the ones in Greece. The more the better far as I'm concerned! What an amazing person this man is to be breeding them in captivity and then setting them back into the wild. How can you not fall in love with those faces? I'm feeling emotional now. Thank you so much! 💖💖

    This was truly an amazing video. I have finally been able to see what their natural habitat is like. I have also realized that most, if not all of the keepers of this spider have the wrong set up. Giving it more of a tarantula set up with a more dry setting and no vegetation. Although I'm sure the vegetation is not a must. It's the dry, coco fiber and bark only set up seems unnatural. Anyways thank you for sharing this!

    I fear for these spiders. Here in Dorset during the summer months, kids often start fires on the heathland 'for fun' causing the emergency services to scramble. Large areas of heath are often lost.

    • @boffgirl

      thankfully they are in an area the public do not have access too, and isn't one often traversed, plus kids would have to walk miles to reach this one without a car taking them there.

      Ladybird spiders are are a rare type of arachnids (spiders)
      This video comes from the BBC's (British Broadcasting Corporation's) wildlife 'arm', from a program called Spring Watch that's been running every spring for about 15 years in the uk.
