Spider Web Time-Lapse | Earth Unplugged 

You forgot the part where I drive into it on my bicycle.

Add some sillouettes of swimming women and you've got yourself a James Bond Intro.

Imagine having to go through this every time you're hungry and the chance of some body destroying it in a millisecond the second you finish it

Excellent video guys! It must have taken serious patience to capture this web building behaviour.

Fascinating! Great footage and superb music choice. Sometimes we all need to slow down and appreciate the delicate beauty of a spider web.

Now I feel bad destroying their webs :(

beautiful! magnificent! gorgeous! superb!

5 flies did not like this video

Spiders are real artists!

The way she just does everything to perfection with great precision and consistency

12 flies and 3 moths disliked this video.

As an arachnophobe, I found this video extremely satisfying. Because of my fear of spiders, and being more or less a naturalist, instead of killing them out of fear (not hate because I don't hate them just because I fear them) I have spent my time over the years watching and observing spiders (the web weaving kind, especially banana/azealia/golden web weaver spiders since they're most common in the area here (Southern Alabama), but there are just some things you just can't see or notice without a time lapse. About a month ago, I intentionally put a small stick an a banana spider's web just to watch how it would take it out; I wasn't trying to mean or harmful, I simply wanted to learn and the only way I could was to "interact". As I watched the spider slowly remove the web from the stick, I became curious on what makes spiders choose where to spin their webs, and is there a thought process behind the designs before they begin weaving or is all instinctual? Though this video didn't answer either question because that's something you'd have to more or less get in the spider's head to truly know, it did show me how the webs them selves were constructed. Regardless of me fears, spiders are amazing creatures. I just hope I don't have nightmares tonight after having watched this video lol.

This is incredible. It's the little stuff in life, like the detail and how much effort she puts into making the web and or how bumblebees feed on pollen that make life interesting.

These are the kinds of videos that I look up when I get high. Don't regret it one bit. Now I must think more about admiring every web I see.

THE BEST spider video of ANY kind that I have EVER seen!!!

Okay,this was genuinely amazing.

I loved the fact that the sticky silk is thicker and can easily be seen by the naked eyes, while the frames is thinner and hard to see if it wasn't for the lights refracting from the webs, great art reference

That was perfection. I don't understand how this doesn't have over a million views

geez!! I can't believe you cut away at the best part! When she stings the victim and wraps them up,then repairs the web again.

Pretend you're the fly.. Imagine the terror of being stuck while a huge 8-legged, 8-eyed, hairy thing with two fangs closes in on you. Also, flies experience time much slower than humans, so it's all in slow motion.

This is just a thing of beauty. I could watch a spider do this all day, no matter how long it takes.

Honestly, I don't like spiders but this was beautiful! I didn't know how beautiful and how much time goes into their webs, but I see it is beautiful and intricate! Absolutely awesome! :)

This time lapse is amazing! I love spiders sm

I exploded with tears... God is magnificent. Glorious. How can anyone deny the intelligence here?? Who’s with me?

this was AWESOME well done xx

Beautiful performance, m'lady. Beautiful. Now we wait.

Great, great video! I would love to see more time lapse footage of insects building or taking apart and transporting matter. Termites working on some large wooden object instantly comes to mind. Keep up the great work!

Beautiful. How does she repair the web? Do you have a video of that? 🎈

Ah I love orb spiders! I found one of the same species in my front yard last year. Their webs are the neatest

Terrific work ..I like spiders and their webs are amazing ...Wonderful *

Work of true art!

Just outstanding. As my 7yo son said...it's dancing a beautiful dance. *Applause*

This... does put a smile on my face

so cool! more spiders videos plss

Beautiful, just amazing :O

So truly beautiful

love to watch building their webs since childhood days...

have witnessed a garden orb spin her web with out a time-lapse and it was one of the most spectacular thing i have ever seen

Ohmygod she made absolutely amazing work!

Beautiful!

I couldn't go through this vid without cringing or freaking out

sooooo amazing thanks

Kind of hypnotic watching it build its web.

I always used to destroy webs and think it is fun but this video changed it this is pure hard work and beauty

She is called a Golden Orb spider. Love the video.

Incredible!

I am here because earlier today i watched a spider at my outdoor kitchen strengthening its web by going over the initial framework. I got curious. Fascinating.

Nature is spectacular.

The way she rips the threads to get the fly more entangled and then has to make sure she still has a grip on the web while tying to subdue the fly rips up a lot of web possibly the integrity of the whole structure and how it’s designed to work when she tightens everything taut from the middle. makes me think they’re meant to be single use products only so maybe we don’t have to worry so much about bumping into them 😊 It reminded me of me of how my husband yanks up when he feels a fish on his line. Then has to hang on to the rod while trying to reel it in

this is beautiful. now i feel bad if i mess up little spider's hard work

Praised be the evolution! What a wonderful designer!

Loooooooved it!!!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

NICE SOUND TRACK!

This was very satisfying

Step into my parlor said the spider to the fly

So dope. I have some and I love em

This is amazing

This video is so beautifull

Two words: Intelligent Design

Beauty.

I've been letting 1 lives on my porch for the past week and feeding her when I can watching their daily habits is amazing especially when they clean their webs

incredible

*Fly has left the chat*

Amazing

Simply amazing! Your patience paid off cos so far your video is the best one I could find of a spider creating the spiderweb! Thanks for such wonderful entertainment :D and really nice background music too I was wondering if anyone knew who the artist is? Would be nice to listen to this while i paint/draw

Great video, wow!

Nice !!!

Thanks!!

thank you for that!

I just cannot understand how nature and evolution has worked perfectly i to an outstanding creature capable of having such a super power like this, I mean just imagine to be able of producing a substance in your body that is resistant, flexible, can be sticky or not sticky, it’s basically limitless, and its the way you can catch food, travel, protect you, etc, etc

amazing nature!

I can hear the fly screaming, "Help me! Help meeee!"

This is why spiders are such amazing beasties!

So cool

This goes hard

Looks like old Shelob's been having a bit of fun.

Awesome

amazing...

amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinngg

Ah so relaxing

These spiders make some of the largest and most numerous webs I've ever seen.

Spiders are so cool oml

so happy it got to eat lol i was like please dont take its web down after all that hard work

Some species of Araneidae creates a "stabilimentum"(thick layer of white silk in zig zag pattern) through the hub which makes the web more visible and thought to stiffen or stabilize it

Scary😱😱 but so so awsome

Mesmerising... what's the music called?

I have formed a new opinion: spiders are badass as hell.

yo that is lit

How can something like a spider create something so intricate and meticulous?

Super

Awesome, has anybody tried playing different music and see what the spider builds?

Flies have no respect for art

Hmm.. the music gives me the chilld

i think that a cool visual for future projects would be to keep the spider still in the frame and spin the web as if it were a record player

that dog be gone bro 😂😂

the music is real nice

I regret destroying their webs

I love the how well the music fits. I think I could watch time-lapse for days with the right music with them. I don't know if you're taking suggestions but some stuff I would like to see. An ant nest vs ant nest bug eating plants munching on lots of bugs an electric eel lighting up a LED a first person time lapse view of a mole or burrowing animal digging a brief explanation of edible no edible mushrooms a scarab beetle infested with the mites that protect them how weavels find find flour

Maybe it's just the sick tunes, but at 1:48 I feel like I'm watching a spider weave a silk LP record.

Such careful symmetry.
