I’ve never seen one on cam or on film. The only reason I know about them is from a spider book from the 80s! Thanks for this vid!!!

Never thought id say this but those spiders are adorable. And the babies... They made me go "awwwwe"

@jhumpich0311 Год назад

I've never liked spiders, millipedes, or centipedes but after binging your videos, I am fascinated! Keep up the good work.

@fistofram5526 Год назад

Yeah bugs are crazy cool, but it takes a strong stomach to handle them.

@sethnaffziger1402 2 года назад

love the videos man! super educational and interesting, it's cool how you'll catch and identify anything of interest you come across

Thank you, Seth. :D

Those huge fangs for such a small spider is so impressive. Spiders are such amazing animals.

@Epicdps 2 года назад

What an awesome vid. I've been fascinated by spiders for many many years now. I used to be a big arachnophobe but got rid of my fear by exposure through videos on youtube just like yours. I live in Sweden, which I thought didn't have any tarantulas at all, but when I found out about the Atypus genus I was excited to find some videos of these spiders. Super cool.

Thank you and good luck on your search. :D

Wow, the way you cut the vid I had thought it was all in one day but knowing that it was a week of effort really makes me appreciate it even more

@CDF936 8 месяцев назад

I use sticks to tease the spider out intsead of digging it up they sense the vibration thinking it's prey and when the spider comes up, I pinch the tube so the spider can't go back down

Thanks for this video ! Some amazing footage with these spiders.

you DESTROYED their homes, you monster. good video. i like to see bugs in the wild.

I found some of these fascinating spiders in the late 1970s living on the Chiltern hills in England.

@Punished_Trump 16 дней назад

The fact that he just goes in with bare hands is nutso to me. I wonder what causes the extreme aversion some people have towards insects, and why some are completely immune to it. Blows my mind

@kiri101 Год назад

I thought 'ballooning' (at least in tiny spiderlings) was recently found to be more about electrostatic forces than riding air currents - is that accurate at all?

@josephwilliams9030 Год назад

Okay, i thought it was going to be a lot bigger and flipped when you went digging for it. Knowing that it's that small it seems a lot cuter.

@HD-wn4ph 2 года назад

Also, what else is crazy is how the trapdoor spiders make almost a perfect circle for the trapdoor. So cool.

@Biggestmig2 Год назад

Whaaaaat???

@haydnr01 2 года назад

Why did it take so long was it finding the burrows or finding occupied ones? It would be interesting to see the temperatures and humidity in the socks in comparison to the "outside" temperature

@GeneralApathy 2 года назад

I didn’t have a hygrometer on hand, but that certainly could have been interesting to examine. Of the socks I excavated, only one was not occupied (not included in the video, of course). I believe the reason that they are abnormally tough to find here is because the available habitat is naturally quite fragmented. This video was shot in the French Alps, which is far from ideal for this species. The northern, low-elevation Atypus habitats are more suitable because they are rather contiguous, and, if they are fragmented, it’s typically by humans.

@sebhin1168 10 месяцев назад

Really nice channel, I've been watching all your content these days! Just a quick question: how long does it take for those spiders to build their burrows back? You seem so careful in all the other videos about not disturbing the animals and putting them back in the same/better place you found them.. It seemed a very different approach, maybe just because it's the only way of showing us I guess 😅

@SpectreCafe98 5 месяцев назад

Hi! I'm by no means an expert, but it is known that these spiders do have to rebuild at least part of their burrow nearly every time they feed, bc they pull their prey through it. So hopefully that means its not too energy-taxing for them.

@Mabra51 Год назад

so cute

@Doggel 11 месяцев назад

perhaps i overheard it...but one of the importest things, i heard not...We call them Sackspinne...they are a part of the Birdspider family...this is the one and only Birdspider in Middleeurope.

@Ipsissimus Год назад

But what do they taste like?

@EatPsychedelics 2 года назад

The part of the web you called "the sock" that looked very interesting. Do you think that could be used to catch a spark/ember?

@myriada4570 2 года назад

It’s usually easier to light them with matches or just lighters. The spiders taste phenomenal after a deep roast and a bit of charring, but I have quite an exquisite palate I should add.

@EatPsychedelics 2 года назад

@@myriada4570 heal yeah, homie eat it up lol but I was just curious how that material would fare in a primitive or survival situation. I've never seen spider web look so much like cloth.

@myriada4570 2 года назад

@@EatPsychedelics, in all seriousness, I don’t think spider silk would make good fire starter or tinder. Finer silk from cellar spiders and orb weavers burns quickly and rather uncontrollably-like hair. I’d imagine purseweb tubes would burn similarly…

@joshuamak9930 Год назад

Bruh how do you like, go looking for a spider, (and a mean ass looking one a that) with your fingers digging where it could bite you??? If I see a hole I’d poke with a stick if I was feeling brave but would still anticipate the angry homeowner yeeting up the stick to bite me 😅

@byereality7492 Год назад

@chir0pter Год назад

How are you so non-arachnophobic. And somehow they dont even bite you!

@epser5842 11 месяцев назад

Isn't this incredibly harmful to the spider? Exposes them, forces them to spend energy making a new burrow. You probably killed all of those baby spiders too.
