Finding the Malaysian trapdoor spider 

I love the way the spiders can easily tell the difference between a potential meal.......and a bunch of idiots with a stick messing around.

That's crazy how genius they are, building the web almost like a tripwire, the web moves and it knows which side to attack instantly!

My cat rubbed his tail on my neck... almost had a heart attack 😱

Super cool looking spiders !!

4:30 "SHUT THE DAMN DOOR!"

The next morning: *Spider* : ... and then the white aliens brought me back into my house. I swear! *Other spider* : Could you shut up Jerry... It's called a DREAM *Spider* : ...

everyone gangsta till the spider actually answers the doorbell

It's funny, I'm interested in spiders while also scared of them!!

Trying to pull the door closed @4:30 lol so precious!

1:51 look that speed

Imagine going to the door to get your pizza then a giant tree log is there instead

"Close the damn door!! You're letting out all the heat!!" - Spider

Their speed is just incredible... At 1:50 it takes a total of four frames for the little guy to extend all the way out of its burrow and back inside. Absolutely insane.

I know we call spiders "Nopes", but I'm betting they call us "Nopes" as well.

I feel soo deep happy when someone like you can love and research nature without making destroy of it... cheers

3:17 GET READY TO GET A HEART ATTACK

Spider in hole:Aggresively defends its home. Spider in outside:Do nothing.

MEN BREAKS INTO HOME'S AND HARRASES SINGLE MOTHERS, CHILDREN STILL MISSING

4:57 To think that this guy can build a trap like this is unbelievable. Soon as the cricket steps on the sensor its game over.

This music makes me feel like im on the citadel of mass effect lol

Spider:yes food! *jumps out*oh its just a human -hours later- Man:*holding door open* Spider:I swear on my life LET GO OF MY DOOR AND LEAVE ME ALONE*tries to close door*

I appreciated that there wasn't a bunch of over dramatic/creepy music playing. Just spiders doing what they do in a beautiful setting. Awesome stuff.

OMG! I live in Malaysia and I didn't even know such amazing creatures exist here. Thank you for posting this! 😍

Why do I watch this stuff knowing damn well I don’t like spiders?

at 4:30 its like he goes upside down to try and close his door again hahah i love it "no i am not entertaining today im waiting for my bug delivery goodbye now"

I love the way the spider turned upside down in the hole grabbing at the door as if to say 'ok you got ya shot of me now leave me alone'

Amazing creature, beautiful markings, so well camouflaged I could barely see the entrance to the nest even when pointed out

4:30 when your mum leaves the bedroom door open

These guys were essential like door to door salesmen! 😂 They kept knocking on doors until one girl just came out and said, "Alright...wtf you want?"

Anyone get jump scared when the spider came out of the "door"?

i love how the spider grabs its door from him "give it to me bitch!"

1:50 I jumped in my seat. Christ that thing is fast.

Although it's quite disgusting I have to admit that it was "cute" when the spider pulled aggressively on the door. It almost looks lika a human emotion.

4:57 That homie is already dead they just haven't warned him

4:32 spider: "shut it ffs" 🤣

4:28 "What are you doing? It's my trap so leave it alone! Don't touch don't touch!

i would shit myself by walking there with shoes!

3:50 there's another Spider at the top right of the screen

They come out so swiftly and go back in swiftly without any warning, it’s frightening!

4:38 shes like close my door u letting all the cold air out

Those are almost as fast as me when my mom says lunch.

great job finding those guys

I was today years old when I discovered there was such a thing as a trapdoor spider. Excellent vid. Thanks!

Fascinating, I feel all these spider videos help me over come the fear of siders.

4:34 MOM! CLOSE THE FRICKIN DOOR!

4:58 GET OVER HERE!

Excellent footage, chaps. Well done!

4:30 Spider be sayin' "HOW MANY TIMES DO I GOTTA TELL YOU TO CLOSE THE DENG DOOR!?"

4:20 was like hey what’s up? Ok pls stop opening my door damnit!! *tries to shut door*

Im happy Minnesota doesn't have trap-door spiders.

might as well call that 'The Hobbit Spider.' That's a well prepared house she got there.

The spider looks cute, but a bit terrifying lol

Spider: GO AWAY HUMAN Man: nope I will take a picture of you first Spider: runs back in house and grabs it's shoes so he can run away after biting Man: oh shoot oh shoot

Awesome video. Gotta love trap doors, almost always in a bad mood. That abdomen though! Keep up the good work!

I'm somewhat creeped out by spiders and yet my brain is like "ayyy... click on that spider video, it'll be fun"

Hey man love your videos keep up the great work👍

Due to house renovation , my son's little friends Tarantulas are lodging in my bedroom without paying any rent . Since childhood I am petrified of spiders . The tarantula , a Mexican pink has legs as long as 4 inches already , currently shredding her skin . She is fast and scary , I named her the bitch . The other tarantula is much slower and seems docile , but I am still scared of them .

Man that thing is lightning fast.

They are lovely😍

Their speed and commitment when striking is astonishing. I saw trapdoors at the Arizona border at a rest stop. I got out of my car to stretch my legs and walk around a bit, not thirty feet off the pavement, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small circular patch of desert earth popping up and down, and I knew what it was instantly.

3:08 that spider was like "yo wtf is this"

Nature is truly amazing, we can learn a lot

What a beautiful spider

Such amazing shots guys! Incredible how awesome nature is

So quick amazing spider

R.I.P random grasshopper 1971-2017 Ps:I'm not sure when the grasshopper was born I just said 1971 lol Edit: holy crap its been 2 years already and my old name was dumb af

These spiders are so smart and great builders, this is amazing, nature is so beautiful

5:05 the spiders all like “you know it’s kind of hard to take a shit with you guys taking pictures of me.”

Why do I watch this in the middle of the night...

"We managed to film one capturing prey" Shows a grasshopper with a mashed up back leg that definitely wasn't placed there lmao.

Captivating and uncanny video, Mr. Tansley.

Man that must be a comfy home

In London, UK ive seen similar behaviour exhibited from far smaller spiders living in holes in my garden's old brick wall. The tiny holes have a tube of webbing inside that pretrudes to the outside just like these trapdoor spiders. Last summer I noticed a spider will come rushing out to investigate if I touch the webbing with a tiny stick or blade of grass like in this video.

1:51 what a shocking moment lol it freaked me out 😅

It was kind of cute when she closed the door! 😊

1:51 When you see the last piece of your favorite meal at the dinner table and nobody else is more deserving of it than you.

03:17 i legit shit myself

It´s funny how the spider tries to close the door from inside ahahaha

Y’all took that crickets leg to show us the spider hunt. Thank you cricket!

Actually such a beautiful spider...

I visted there... and i saw somethin' crawled on the hole! IT WAS A "SPIDER" but we tried to catch it...

Does anyone else notice the spider climbing in the top right a 3:50

That's one beautiful trapdoor spider

Thank you so much team members for your outstanding video

what a black beauty!

I live at Malaysia

Love how about a little ovet halfway into the video you guys capture a different spider.

this video is so amazing thank guys

How in the world do these guys spot these trapdoors?

Amazing spiders. I remember seeing a video how they make those burrows and the trap door. Takes them SO long, fair play to how patient they are. Around the 4 minute mark, that spider was probably getting proper pissed off at the one prodding and raising the trap door. Shouldn't disturb them as much as that. The music's odd too, but I like it. Reminds me of one of the Mass Effect ambiences 😛 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ei5vgHgzsUQ.html

HaHa, @ 4:31 Spider is like "Oh Shit! it's the Taxman, SHUT the Door LOL

Amazing burrow. So neat!!!

Name of the song please?

5:39 who else sees a skull with red eyes Why u don't mess with spiders lol

I love how everytime the spider came out, it was like, "You fuckers again? Goddamn it, can't you see that I'm trying to do something here?"

4:30 “um, ah, can you not, please, ah, i ah, just let, I like to keep this shut, thanks"

5:00 that’s scary

3:08 AHHHHH. 😨😱 OMG THAT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME OH HELL NO SEE THATS WHY I LIKE BUNNIES MORE THEN SPIDERS

Imagine constructing a highly sophisticated trap to get some food and wait anxiously just to get it activated and turn up to be some dude with a stick.

4:58 cricket: wow what a nice day! Spider: nope
