One of the hidden gems of enjoyable information on RU-vid. Get to not only see these animals and how to set up enclosures for them and care for them, but also see them out in their natural habitat. And let’s be real, there aren’t many people in the whole world who so passively handle centipedes, scorpions, spiders, etc. He gets bit and he’s usually just like…oh well. 😄 Love it.

aaaah im in love with your films!! you cut out all of the fat and you have the perfect blend of scientific terminology and layman terms! your passion for critters is genuinely inspiring. when i was a kid, i imagined my adult life just like yours in these videos - studying insects and just hanging out with them. eventually i went into filmmaking but my love for insects still persists. cheers!

@GeneralApathy Год назад

Thank you so much. That’s the style I aim for. It’s always great to hear about people like yourself who never lost their interest in bugs despite the career they wound up choosing. :D

The pitter-patter sounds made when you timelapse while using your pickaxe to dig up hard detritus is so very, very satisfying to my soul.

@joachimsingh2929 Год назад

I thought you were fucking with me with those spiders named after celebrities. Turns out they're both named by the same menace, Jason Bond

@TheCarbonCreed 13 дней назад

Bond really went all out with Aptostichus; I think my favorite is Aptostichus sarlacc

I grew up in West Michigan. There was only one trap door spider I'd ever seen and she wanted to be left alone. Still the biggest spider I'd ever seen in that state. Love your content. Keep it up.

@conservat1vepatr1ot Год назад

00:58 That’s what those are! I found one of these in the sagebrush desert in NV and have been tying to figure out what built it! Thank you! This video cleared up so many questions I had about the critters I grew up catching on Mt. Tamalpais in CA. I used to think those false tarantulas were wolf spiders. Used to get them in our house as the time. (Can confirm their aggression lol).

@anastasianiedinger691 Год назад

How do you identify the doors to their hidey holes? I wasn't able to identify one when you panned the camera for them, but you knew where they are.

@BobTheSpiderHunter Год назад

I was checking out one of my new videos for comments and came across this video of yours. I have been hunting spiders for a long time (I live in Michigan) but have never come across a trap door spider of any kind! lol. How do you even spot them, the camouflaged ground caps are so amazing. We have some here in the woods and beaches of lake Michigan, but no luck for me as of yet. Love your stuff, and your handling of the scientific names of the critters you hunt and encounter. Thanks for your hunt today, knowledge and sharing the fun with us! Have a great weekend.

@GeneralApathy Год назад

Thank you very much, Bob. There are specific microhabitats to search for their burrows, but aside from that, it just took me many years to train my eyes to recognize the doors. It is no easy task when just starting out. I wish you much luck. :D

@robertmcandrews3381 Год назад

@@GeneralApathy Thx for the response! Yes I well know what you're saying here! The trained eye for enjoying nature (as well as extreme patience for just being still and watching) are tools the nature enthusiast develops over time! You see things others just walk right on by. 2023 I shall FIND some trap door spiders in Michigan! If you are interested I just posted a new vid on the tiny Trashline Orbweaver. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QREksWPfHIo.html Had a bit of fun doing an Alfred Hitchcock intro. lol Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The biggest spider I ever saw in person was a jet black trap door spider that was just out and about bumbling around. Shit blew my mind. I did not know they lived in my area. Edit: I think it was actually a false tarantula.

@globalfart 2 года назад

I live in southern California and am wondering what are the best animals to keep that I can catch in the wild. Nothing too poisonous.

@GeneralApathy 2 года назад

I recommend trying our native Aphonopelma, Scolopendra, or Hadrurus species.

@daserfomalhaut9809 Год назад

So do these not bite? I thought trapdoors were SUPER venomous. Or am I mixing them up with Funnelwebs?

@GeneralApathy Год назад

Funnel-web spiders in the family Atracidae have medically significant venom. These trapdoor spiders have relatively mild venom.
