I don't know which is more traumatic... The fact that spiders hunt in packs... Or how old that guy is now! Seriously, he always got me out of doing work so we could watch his videos!
I can't see my feet under my desk, but I'm sure they are surrounded by thousands of little red spiders right now... *starts browsing online for glass-top desks*
I've seen documentaries on their own documentaries, and it shows them literally waiting for days on end with cameras for something like this to happen. Its part luck and part skill to capture these moments. Here they probably noticed the cricket and guessed it would get caught up somehow and set up cameras in different positions waiting for its inevitable doom.
I generally find spiders to be beautiful and fascinating creatures, (jumping spiders, are just freaking cute!) but this is rather terrifying. D: Informative, yet terrifying..
My feet felt all tingly while watching this video. I thought, "no worries, it's in your head.. you've got shoes on.....". Fastest I have ever taken my shoes off.
He means LSD, the spiders would have such a terrible trip from being surrounded by spiders they would have have a panic attack and fall to their deaths.
im curious if a human walked in2 dat would they get stuck?? is it dat thick? im plannin on headin 2 dat part of da jungle in a couple of days an i aint wana be swingin on da branches then inadvertently run in2 a COBWEB DEATHTRAP!!
I jumped into a thick webbing, not knowing what i would find. I found that i couldnt move and was trapped. I then saw the first spider, he ran towards me and everytime i moved another spider would travel down the thick webbing. I was slowly being engulfed in these spiders, and the more i tried to resist them, the more they attacked. I struggled in a fight that i knew i would lose and in the end, all i could feel were the tiny jaws sinking into my joints as my eyes faded into pure nothingness.-FG

"This web ABOVE me"
Talk about crazy, I wouldn't stand within 50 metres of that thing, let alone UNDER it.
Thanx Joe!
His podcast makes you look up stuff like this, awesome...
I really need to stop watching videos like this before bed...
hahah, i love how joe said this on his podcast and every comment on here is abouting thanking him. cheers joe.
My Mind: "Fascinating! Spiders truly are amazing."
My Heart: "AAAIIIIIIEEEEE!!!"
i like how the video ends with the scuttling sound of hundreds of spiders
Well, now we know that hell comes with a charming British narration
I can't see my feet under my desk, but I'm sure they are surrounded by thousands of little red spiders right now...

That cameraman has balls ill never have.
Definitely checked under my desk after watching this.

Thanks for the info,I did my mini-science project on this,thanks again David
Another masterpiece. Very original.
This might have triggered my latent fear of spiders.
Sooo abug fell on my shoulder while I was watching this...and I am on the next shuttle off the good old earth.
They are SO ADORABLE

I'm quite amazed that not a single comment this far asks where this clip came from? Obviously it's a BBC documentary clip, but which one?
David Attenborough could read the back of a pre-birth prescription drug and make it sound EPIC and IMPORTANT.
I met David Attenborough at a book signing. BEST DAY EVER!!!
Ok, now imagine yourself walking through the forest... AND YOU WALK RIGHT INTO THE WEB AND THOUSANDS OF LITTLE SPIDERS ARE ALL OVER YOU
Mr. Joe Rogan is teaching a generation ! Much thanks.
My feet felt all tingly while watching this video. I thought, "no worries, it's in your head.. you've got shoes on.....". Fastest I have ever taken my shoes off.
His voice makes me feel safe......
These are just a social spider. Tiny compare to long jawed orb weavers which are also social and live millions in huge webs.
Social spiders are so cool! Ants, Bees, and now spiders!
thanks joe for another reason for me to never go to the rain forrest
I don't think i have ever noped so hard in my life before.
David Attenborough, what a boss.
never has there been a better reason to carry a flamethrower.
that peter the camel spider, he's domesticated and speaks fluently in 4 languages
Crickets face at 1:30 "Aw shit son!"
Imagine accidentally landing in this tree with a parachute
I, for one, welcome our new Spider Overlords.
That's why when venturing into the jungle bring a flame thrower.
I'm glad you came~
I FINALLY SEE THE MAN BEHIND THE LEGEND BEHIND THE MOST AMAZING BEDTIME STORY-TELLING VOICE IN THE WORLD
He means LSD, the spiders would have such a terrible trip from being surrounded by spiders they would have have a panic attack and fall to their deaths.
Imagine if larger spiders worked like this? I shudder at the thought!
I think he means what tv show/documentaryis this from.
This is going to end up in the next Ponies: The Anthology. I just know it.
Are they in any way related to Wolf Spiders? or perhaps the Orca Whale Spider?
Anybody know the documentary this is from?
I love David Attenborough.
Now imagine if these spiders were the size of wolves.
Ants+Spiders=Spiders hunt in packs
WE ALL DOOMED
Joe doesn't care what you're laughing at
which BBC Earth series is this? I thought I'd seen them all....
If I were narrating:
"This enourmous web above me, contains thousands of spiders... NOPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" [sprints out of area]
can some one tell me what program its off i love davids shows
OMG THE PLANET EARTH GUY IRL I DIDNT THINK THIS WAS POSSIBLE
President: "Let's Blow it up!"
General: "You want to blow up the Amazon?"
President (to everyone): "Would you miss it? would you?"
Gives me an excuse to try out my new cologne; Eau de Raid. You've probably never heard of it...
Was that music from Diablo 2 near the beginning?!!
the joint thing got me...
He's saying acid does not tend to spread through forests.
Has mutual aid ever been so terrifying?
I've always wondered how they film this stuff...
I especially enjoy that clicking sound of ALL THEIR CREEPY JAWS EGAD!!!!!!! (there is no escape)
Whelp, this is the stuff of nightmares, and I am investing in a flamethrower.
I will never forgive Seth for showing me this... Excuse me while I go barricade my house.
Kinda glad I'm a member of the dominant species.
i like the sound of the word 'packs'
How do they comfortably put their cameras so close?
im never leaving my house again unless im carrying a flame thrower
Does anyone know wich show this is from, and what season/episode if there are any?
im curious if a human walked in2 dat would they get stuck?? is it dat thick? im plannin on headin 2 dat part of da jungle in a couple of days an i aint wana be swingin on da branches then inadvertently run in2 a COBWEB DEATHTRAP!!
That cricket looks like a grasshopper
I don't care how much they're paying the cameraman, it's not enough. I mean, I love spiders, but FUCK.
"Now you's can't leave..."
Straight out of a horror film
if I was that cricket, I'd just flex and bust out
do you ever get the feeling that a spider is crawling on you and nothing is there
Why did I have to watch this before going to bed? Hello nightmares D:
On one hand, this is pretty interesting
On the other, I'm never going outside again
I'm going to invent a flamethrower that only works on spiders and spider webs. It will be mandatory for everyone to have one.
Press 8 for eight seconds of infinite creeping terrors.
Yes, 8. Coincidence? Hah, of course not.
It's clear to me that we have a 9Gagger
Just goes to show there are stranger things in nature than man could ever devine.

Anyone else feel something crawling on their leg while watching this?
Never in my life have i felt so bad for a qruiket
Well, David Attenborough is about 80 years old.
That's not Mr Nature Narrator Dude. That is THE Nature Narrator Dude!
Attenborough dropped that cricket into the web!
Nature made this. Man made napalms.
Man: 1 Nature: 0
Be right back, having a panic attack.
THANK YOU JOE!
Talk about being in the wrong neighborhood. Homie got jumped!
What nature special is this from?
2:31 Well that is the most terrifying thing I can possibly imagine. NOPE.
even gods little creations are amazing
Aaaand, let the flame war commence. Nice going, guys.
Also, I'm not the only one who isn't bothered by spiders, am I?
are... are these the spiders in the xkcd comic?
I felt something on my arm whilst watching this, and freaked out :)
the music makes it so tense!
The cricket got it's shit rocked.
If I had a nickel for every crazy nature vid on UA-cam with Joe Rogan referrals, I could finance the next season of fear factor
Great ! How am I supposed to sleep now?
Anyone know what documentary that's from?
