Spiders terrified me until a friend brought a book for me to read about them. It also contained beautiful photos of spiders. After reading it I was no longer afraid of them and don't kill them anymore. They are amazing critters. Thanks for this video!
@@4Frmcfff Well, they're really fierce and hairy looking and that alone makes our hair stand up! They don't bite unless provoked and the bite is like a mosquito. Itchy. They eat earwigs, flies and other bugs we don't want so they're good to have around. (But I wouldn't make it into a pet. Lol!) Edited to ask, did you really wake up to a wolf spider in your face?
It is a shame most of us have been conditioned that spiders are scarey but I find them fascinating. There is a female spider who has made herself an incredible silk web on the rear of my car and some baby spiders have settled nicely. Not sure if next time I go out to my car there could be 3000 baby spiders but I am not washing my car till they move on. Nature is so very beautiful! Thanks for uploading this awesome video, very helpful and educating!
Good on you! I always catch flies to feed the many spiders around my house. I try to feed m the skinny small ones first, give then a bit of an upper hand.
I find the leaning language of using "menacing fangs" or "formidable touch" is kind of buying into the fear most people have of them? I’m watching this for education since I would like to know what the different parts and evolution of spiders are, and yes venomous species are certainly something you don’t want to come across, there are more non venomous species than venomous ones and they do a lot of control for the environment than we realize. They make webs that have shaped how we utilize tensile strength, have amazing adaptable abilities, and can live for several years even in captivity. We see them as ugly or gross, which is fine, but we really need to see them as "necessary" more than anything. Having a lovely web on your outdoor window can decrease the amount of pests you get in your home, and there are only really 3-5 recorded "vicious" species that want to attack anyone that comes near them being brown recluse, camel spiders (which are not venomous) and black widows, with most other venomous spiders actually wishing to retreat than come into contact with humans. And most times the spiders that "attack" you are just defending where they live. Over all, spiders are 10 times less likely to bite you than wasps are to sting you, and less likely to kill you than a baby venomous snake. Bites are nasty, but are easier treated than other creatures who swarm, or bite multiple times.
At the bottom of my stairs there is a big fat huge spider that comes out during the summer with a huge web. One day I broke the edge by mistake on the corner. I put the strand back around the staircase. The spider went back to the center. I picked up a worm and put it on the web. The spider looked at me to say thank you grabbed the worm and spun the silk around it. I was watching for 10 minutes and was late for work. Who cares this is great stuff. I got back home and my spider took down it's web. Later that evening it was making a new web. Awesome!!!
The music is too loud! I can barely hear the talking, as the music is so loud and distracting. This is an issue with a lot of videos, sadly. Hint: "background" music should stay in the background ONLY🙄
In the opening of your video you said "all" spiders are "meat eaters." This is actually not entirely true as there is one, according to National Geographic, the first known vegetarian out of 40,000 species of spiders, the Bagheera kiplingi, or Central American jumping spider. It will also eat a nominal amount of ant larvae (from a particular species), but it's main intake is vegetation and nectar.
A woodlouse is NOT an "insect" (as the narrator wrongly called it), but is a crustacean, and has 14 legs. All insects have only 6. Not sure how or why this documentary screwed that one up.....
Eventually what surprised me was that few non-British spiders were included in this movie. The general feeling: "If you are not a British spider, please do not apply for a role. Thank you for your understanding."
Exactly. It's more like a music video with spider clips than a documentary. The sound editor went a little crazy! Would have been a solid doc otherwise☹
A wonderful and impressive documentary ! Sadly, this was somewhat spoilt by an odd choice of loud drumming and music. Making it difficult to watch at times.
And I think they succeeded and then went on and used all options on top in another editing package. It's a real shame because this is one of the best Spider docs I've ever seen on UA-cam (in information terms).
I learned that the hard way. I accidentally broke a web while playing ping pong. Later while playing I ended up with that spider somehow on my shoulder. Safe to say I freaked out and when I tried getting it off it hung on to me swinging by its web
@@bari2883 you’re probably right that it was. I eventually got it off me using the paddle to push it off but I think it came back again bc while playing I ran into another big bush with my shoulder. When I took my shirt off that evening I saw bits of what looked like crushed up spider on that back shoulder area
I agree. I found the excessive unnecessary use of graphics distracting. Every scene has a forced graphic effect it didn’t need and that made no sense, it was as if it were made by someone who’d just learned to use a video editor and was trying to get every effect they could in lol.
My missus is a real arachnophobe. If she ever finds out that an acre field in the UK can support up to 2 million spiders, she'll never leave the house again. _"Darling...! Love...! Did you know that a field......"_ 8-))...
I’m fine with the thought of all of these spiders, even the black widow. I think spiders are cool! HOWEVER, TRAP-DOOR SPIDERS are *the* most disturbing to me! I have no clue why, but the only memory I can recall was back in elementary school we were learning about spiders, and when I heard about this kind of spider, I just about died at the thought of one grabbing at my feet! Granted, I was a kid and thought these things were as big as my foot, BUT they creep the ever-loving hell outta me!
I had the same reaction when I learned about Diving Bell Spiders. I thought the damn things were coming out of the canals at night! (What I was really seeing was common Orb Weavers)
To think that such sophistication can develop by chance over time is simply stupidity. Over time naturally things fall apart and do not become more complex.
The close-ups can make a wonderful study for me as I have been fascinated by the spider life for many years. I couldn't stay with this video even to the half-way point because of the overwhelming music. It drove me right out of the room. Loud, shrill, louder than the narration, inappropriate, pointless, useless. I am out of here. The End. By Frank

A woodlouse is NOT an "insect". It's an isopoda crustacean. The narrator SHOULD KNOW this. Yes it's a "bug" (as the word "bug" is a broad term) but it's not an "insect".
As cool as the video is, even to one as put off by spiders as myself, the use of negative graphics is just really annoying and makes a lot of the scenes they're used in hard to interpret.
I have noticed in the past all the common brown orb weavers spinning against hedgerows, windows, etc to escape the sonar of bats. Now with bats disappearing due to white nose fungus, the spiders have begun to spin out in the open. Evolution.
Not that I'm the first one here to say it lol but I can't hear a WORD this guy is saying because of that INFERNAL racket in the background! That doesn't even qualify to be, "theme music," lol it's incessantly, overwhelmingly frustratingly distracting, and it almost makes this video completely unwatchable! 👎
You've been touched by so many angels. It couldn't happen to a better family than the wonderful family you all are. Congratulations on all your continued success! We all love you! ❤
The loud, unnecessary music paired with the obscure neon graphics cutting to nature scenes that wildly zoom in & out is eerily reminiscent of a bad acid trip... Part nature documentary, Part hallucinogenic flashback 😵😵😵
I think kinda like it tho, once I turned the volume down a bit... The weird distorted didgeridoo sound too, it's all kinda creepy in a kinda nerdy way 💜 I can see how it would annoy ppl tho...
my only objection to black widow is to report that there is antivenin so death rate is nearly 0 since late 70's (mostly death comes from anaphelaxia nto the venom and its very rare nowdays)
If I come downstairs in the morning and find an upside down cup on the floor, I know instantly that there’s a spider under it, and that I’m to get rid of it. A year ago, you couldn’t have paid me to do it; now, I say, “C’mon buddy, let’s go outside.” I’m actually calling a spider, ‘buddy.’
He'll be like, "watch as this brute of a beast impales his victim with venom more powerful than my DEEEYIK", but all they show is a still frame of a supposedly dead insect with three filters and a vignette while annoying industrial music plays.

This is amazing. As a hobbyist arachnoligist, WHY have I never seen this before? It's so factual, but also bloody loud with drum beats and music!
The music is insulting.

When I read your comment,
I thought surely it will be ok?
But you are right! Its spoils what could of been a great programme!
I thought the same thing.
I started trying to get over my arachnophobia by getting a tarantula...now I own 3....don't know how I ever lived without them, now
That's very interesting. Have any of them reproduced with one another or are they all the same gender or just kept apart from each other.
I agree tarantulas are lovely pets.
they belong to nature = living freely, not in your terrarium..
Pretty amazing how they adapt to any environment and the different techniques they use. Impressive that spiders been around for 400 million years.
I've always wondered how large spiders truly got during the Carboniferous, I haven't heard any I've just heard of giant millipedes and meganeura
Pretty amazing how people believe the earth has existed for millions of years.
@@AlBundy641pretty ridiculous how some people think the earth is only 6000 years old 🥴
Interesting topic but the music was too much.
good docu, but with that music I kept waiting for an image of a spider DJing a rave party
💀💀
🤣😂
haaaaaa so funny lol :) ;)
Haha!!indeed!🤣💩
Always rent fascinated as a kid by spiders would hate to ate by one

Agree with other comments: muusic and graphics unnecessary. Certainly very interesting, but after 12 mins got annoyed at all the zooming in/out etc.
lol the zooming in and out in some of the documentaries is diabolical, found your reaction especially hilarious.
Gimmicks for a generation with short attention spans.

Bob TheSpiderHunter I recall this. You’re correct about that.
The jumping spiders in North America are more than likely plant eaters as well. We have them in Chicago
The photography is nothing short of amazing!
The spider that goes underwater needs some kind of creepiest award.
the music is way too loud, can't hear the man's voice that well

It's all fun in games until the spider starts crawling
The back ground music ruins the video, shame because it’s really good information.
It's not, a lot of the info is actually wrong, like when he says "all silk serves a single purpose: killing"
@@dapperturtle1559 And that "all" spiders are "meat eaters!" There is one that is basically a vegetarian!

They need a spider to come and say hello.
I like the video, very good information. less BGM, please. hard to hear your voice.
The audio was much too loud, it screwed Up the documentary. It's as though they hadn't reviewed the documentary before they released it. What a shame.
I was afraid of spiders before this video. After this video, I am still afraid of spiders.
Eventually what surprised me was that few non-British spiders were included in this movie.
The general feeling: "If you are not a British spider, please do not apply for a role. Thank you for your understanding."
Just remember if it were not for spiders we wouldn't be able to see in front of us cause of all the bugs that fly so be greatful we have them here
Very good information and entertaining but a higher resolution please!
"All are carnivorous"
With one exception, a jumping spider (Bagheera kiplingi) feeds on nectar.
Nice video idol...spider is an ancient creature and some of spider is deadly.
It would be great but the effects ruin it
Damn, the video is all over the place. LIKE THE MUSIC!

The music was too off-putting for me 😢 usually I enjoy all you documentaries though
Yes the background music n sound affects r jus too loud going somewhere else
Imo insects are the coolest creatures Jesus made. They have weapons, armor, flying abilities, poison, etc. Super cool 😎

Great documentary but the background Music is too loud and quite annoying🤷♂️

I could be wrong but I thought they also use a spider's silk for some bullet proof vests.
Sort of. It’s human made, and is made out of goats milk. Listened to a podcast about it a coupe days ago.
They mimic the way a spider creates a certain web.
"They all have something in common"... they're gross
