Here at MyWildBackyard we investigate the secrets of the natural world- secrets that can be hidden in our very own backyards! I want to share the incredible world of insects, spiders and other wildlife with you and inspire you to explore your curiosity. Get out there, and find your adventure!
For those who read the description- we've updated the channel! I'm working on adding more features to videos to better expand our conversations about the secrets we find in the natural world! Introducing the Creature Tier System! There are four rankings:
1. Staple - These are the lowest tier creatures. They are the most common species in a given habitat, and while they're not boring, they're really only exciting when you're exploring a new habitat and you haven't seen them before. Not something to write home about.
2. Neat - These are a step up from Staple. They don't make your entire day, but they are worth taking a closer look at when found. Definitely can be exciting to have a productive day finding many Neat species.
3. Wild - These are exciting to find. Whether they have interesting defensive features that offer a nice challenge in the field, are particularly cool looking, or maybe a little bit rare, Wild species aren't necessarily the MOST memorable of encounters, but they definitely make your day when you see them. An adventure featuring many Wild species will truly be memorable.
4. Gem - These are special. Usually involving extremely interesting biology and significant rarity, Gem species are animals that you really do not see every day. These species can make your whole adventure, and will be very memorable.

We have brown recluse that hides in dry brush and cat tails (when they dry out). Black widows are in damp areas. In Norcal we have both. We have cute jumping spiders too. Usually daddy long leg spiders don't attack black widows but I had seen one attack a black widow when the black widow went after a bug that was trying to be eaten by the daddy long leg, and the daddy long leg bit the black widow and it died pretty fast. I think the daddy long leg spiders are good for homes unless there are too many, but they are ok as they stay near the ceiling. Jumping spiders are fine too as they hang out up high and eat mosquitos on the ceiling. We also have the "house spiders". Like you show they look like a brown miniature black widow with three white triangles on his back. They live in our window crack. We feed them flies. If there is a fly we trap it in the window and put the fly close to the hole where the house spider is and they come out fast, grab it, then go back in their hole. These are some good spiders to have too. Not sure this falls into the spider category but we have "Wind Scorpions" in Norcal. They are like camel spiders, and these guys will bite.. They are VERY quick to bite. They will turn their body towards you and lunge at you and they have pretty big fangs.. Every part of them looks like a small desert scorpion, except they have no claws. That's it. I never knew there was someone as fascinated by spiders like I am. I grew up in the country and I love all kinds of creepy crawlys. Like Snakes, I caught a beautiful mountain king snake, and we have rattle snakes here too. I caught a small one that was under a log on the bike trail and my dad made me release it lol. I was 16 or so and wanted it as a pet and when I brought it home he made me let it go. One last thing. When a daddy long leg makes too big of a nest in an area that he wont catch food I will catch them and put them outside. Please don't ever harm spiders. If you are afraid of them please have someone that is not put them outside.. Especially jumping spiders.

@a20089you 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the mention of the Australian Red Back spider. That spider has been confirmed as killing an adult in Australia, so some say the venom is more potent than the black widow. More recent research has stated that the spider is not closely related but came to evolve similarly from different paths.

Bit by a black widow in SC 4 times because it was in my slipper when I put it on and went chasing a kid out of the house. I thought it was a fire ant biting me until I kicked the shoe off and it fell out. Within an hour my whole leg was spasming. 5 hours in I told my wife I felt like I was going through some kind of weird withdrawal. Muscles I didn't even knew I had were twitching. My scalp was spasming. It was pure hell for about 16 hours. Not deadly, but possibly the worst pain I've ever felt. My local doctor told me to take potassium and sodium and prepare for a long night when I called. He wasn't kidding.

@pastorjoesackett 4 месяца назад

I actually had necrosis from a brown recluse bite. It got me on the elbow as a kid.. the bite started out as a 1 inch pimple basically , and when it popped after a day or two of antibiotics, the skin and stuff around it was very thin over the bone on my elbow... the skin regenerates like a scab but peels away at first.. I wondered if the bone wS gonna poke out for a week or two... the pimple left a 1 inch crater, the necrosis was isolated to that area. I've heard of worse😊

The Dr he saw that time knew exactly what bit him. He had a large crater on the back of his thigh. Took almost 3 months for it to heal up.

@ronsin9490 3 месяца назад

That necrosis is a bitch. There’s a patch about 1.5 inch diameter on the inside of my elbow that still shows a greyish hue from the bite I took about 17 years ago. Major swelling and itching, burning. And then that open wound for well over a month. I was sleeping in a work truck after a shift and got bit. Instinct in my sleep was to flinch and I trapped it between by forearm and bicep. 15 minutes later when I woke up I thought I had a bad mosquito bite because it was extremely itchy. Until I saw the squashed spider stuck to my forearm. The next few hours were hell and I didn’t get much sleep that night. The next day the pain subsided and the swelling and itching but it was clear that my arm was not normal. The bite became a small sore and then a bit bigger and bigger. I was a stupid kid and didn’t go to a doctor. Treated it on my own and that was undoubtedly dumb. Polysporin, bandage, wrap, cover, go to work. But it heeled over finally about a month later. I had never heard of a brown recluse or really any type of spider bite necrosis before at the time. And on the Canadian prairies we see all kinds of harmless spiders. Never thought about it before. Was definitely a learning experience for me. And a painful one at that. And based on things I’ve seen I’d have considered it as mild necrosis. Scary stuff from a little bite. I have always hated spiders, been creeped out by them. But I definitely have a newfound respect for them from that day forward.

@TheEvilDrR 23 дня назад

I've been bitten by Recluses so many times I've lost count. I know, because I've found several in the house that look exactly like the one @15:25. Most people don't even know they've been bitten by them, since they tend to scavenge at night. The first few times I was bitten, it would leave a small scar, now they don't even do that. Just about like the video describes. The bites tend to be very itchy, and I've only realized it was a bite after scratching the bite and rupturing the swelling at the site. Which is actually a good thing, unless that causes an infection. The best thing I've found to help is to try to squeeze out any venom in the bite to reduce the necrosis. If you're ever in doubt, catch the spider and put it in a glass. Recluses can't climb glass. I kept one in a shot glass for a few photos before I got rid of it.

I was bitten by a Black Widow on my hand. It was painful like a tattoo that no painkillers knocked back and that lasted three days. The next day my hand around the bite and up my arm felt cold and clammy. Weirdest symptom of all, though, was that all of my toes also started hurting. The ER doc who treated me (I went in as I was concerned the coldness was a sign of circulatory failure) told me that he had a woman who was bitten on the foot the prior week, and all of her fingers started hurting. Neurotoxins are *weird*.

@margiestevens2384 3 месяца назад

I worked as a surgical technician in Oklahoma for four years, brown recluse bites were awful. We had to work hard to save limbs, true this was the early seventies. Yes, the staph infections caused the amputations, but the staph infections were because the person didn’t know to come in for the spider bite until they had become infected. Then it was days and weeks of debridement of dead tissue and battling infection. Anytime something’s been stored I unpack it wearing gloves.😕

@marctricomi2775 2 месяца назад

So I've actually been bit by the brown recluse 4 times over the last 3 years. Every March, like clockwork for the past few years I've been bitten while sleeping. Three of them were on the same arm literally inches from each other and this most recent bite was on my shin. Even though I have the scars to show for all of them, Each time, the bite was substantially not as bad as damaging as the one before and actually healed faster than the one before. I don't know if it's possible to build up some level of resistance to the venom the more you are exposed to it but that seems to be the case from my experience. Luckily, nobody else in my house has been but and we seldom even see them. But they seem to have my number for some reason.

The brown one lives inside houses and can easily hide in our shoes or clothes, and you won't notice you were bitten as it will only cause you pain and irritation 1 or 2 days later, too late for the antidote. It can cause a serious necrosis in the area, that takes several months to recover.

It's really only funnel-webs. Redbacks are the same genus as widows, both of which aren't aggressive and their venom is similar and highly overstated as far as being dangerous to healthy adult human beings (still don't want to get bit by one). White-tailed spiders basically get the same rep as recluses in the US and aren't really dangerous outside of some extreme circumstances. The rest are just things like mouse spiders and trap doors, which aren't dangerous at all, or big harmless huntsman.

Arizona, Black Widow Bite: I was a late teen, 17-19 y/o Drinkin at a party, Jose Quervo. Sat down on some old blankets & wooden furniture they had on their porch, talking with people. I was drunk, didn't feel the bite on my inner thigh. Everyone thought I drank too much & needed to drink water, sweat it out. My condition deteriorated from someone being drunk, to bleeding from my nose, vomiting uncontrollably, and being unable to walk. The party hosts didn't know me, and were sketchy. People stole my belongings while I sat in their back yard, legs crossed, vomiting & bleeding. I remember going in & out of awareness. To describe the venom "trip", it's like having your nervous system set on fire. Your awareness of various things comes & goes in a horribly disorienting, painful fluctuation.

I have been reading through the comments. Our household had a serious recluse bite. With medical treatment , the doctor still wanted to schedule for surgery. Had necrosis, larger than an American 25 cent coin. Required daily debridement, massage for drainage, No exaggeration - black and green drainage. Took photos to track progress. Lost several days work. And there is a scar. All is well now, but it was bad at the time.

Yeah the recluse is one bite I never wanna mess with!! Don’t see em too much here in east central Florida (every so often, but fairly rare…most that think they’ve seen em have actually seen another species like a male southern house spider etc), but we do run across em here and there. A girl my wife and I worked with back in 2003 or so came to live with us for a while after leaving an abusive relationship…turns out she lived in a motel for a bit when she first left. Had this weird wound on her back that just wouldn’t heal, I had a feeling and made her see my doctor, and turns out it actually was the necrotic aftermath of a (most likely) recluse bite. Only one I’ve seen here that was pretty much confirmed though…

@catrandy7957 5 месяцев назад

40 years ago, I was sleeping in gym shorts when a red knee tarantula climbed in my bed, up my leg and into my shorts. when it got to my side at waistband level, I rolled over in my sleep, and in self defense it bite me twice in the same place. I then rolled onto my back and it crawled inside my shorts, across my privates to the other side waistband area. That's when I rolled over on that side and it bite me twice there. At this point I woke up, (I used to drink like a fish back then so I slept through the rest of it). I saw it on me and pulled it off, which unfortunately left one of the fangs stuck in my side. I wanted to save it because I thought it was probably someones pet that got away, but being still half drunk I couldn't find anywhere to keep it safe so I flushed it down the toilet. Now, I think spiders are really cool, (especially the jumpers), so occasionally I feel bad about flushing it until I remember that it bit me 4 times and was crawling around on my nuts, then it doesn't bother me as much. It didn't hurt much at all, except that it made a large knot on each side right at belt level that hurt when wearing a belt. That lasted about 3-4 days. I didn't notice the fang in my side until I sobered up the next day. All in all maybe like a bee or wasp sting.

The yellow and black orb weavers i used to see tons of growing up in the eighties. Definitely see less now in Illinois then i used to. They thrive in tall weeds and theres a lot of that area being mowed and maintained now. I still find them. But not like i used to. The brown one (the one that charlotte is based from) seems to do better at living alongside or adapting with humans. I frequently see them set up by a light on the corner of a house or something like that. But really only find the yellow ones in tall fields and that.

A real daddy long leg is an outdoor insect with 6 legs and a round body only. Resembles a spider but is an insect.

@Bad_fish_too 4 месяца назад

Well that depends on what you’re calling a “real” daddy long-legs. The cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides) is an arachnid and a “true” spider. Harvestman spiders, which is what I believe you’re referring to, do not have two distinct body segments. Instead a round fused segment. They have eight legs, do not produce silk, are arachnids, though phylogenetically more closely related to scorpions. Which are still Cholicerates like all of the spiders; they’re just closer to scorpions than other spiders.

I stopped for a couple minutes to let the environment fully render in (no moving eyes or anything, just freeze in place). What came into focus about a foot in front of my eyes was a totally forest green camouflaged spider with a red hourglass sitting in a web. The spider was rather large at about 1.25" for the body.

But it was really small. I just applied a band aid. Five days later I had a bad abscess which was so tender it was insane and intense. A year later, I actually saw a black widow on my arm, it was running up my arm and I never removed a piece of clothing off of me so fast in my entire life! I didn't see any signs of a bite, until two days later or so. Two small bullet- wound like wounds. It had bitten me in three places side by side exactly. Apparently that black widow had gotten stuck in my pants! I lost a lot of blood, and it was something else! My Grandma saw all the blood in the toilet bowl from the wounds and was like, "Oh sh*t"!
