Jumpers are definitely the most expressive of the spiders, I had one look at me like I was mentally ill for holding my hand out for it to climb on. It was adorable
I have arachnophobia in a very small degree, but these videos somehow always grip me in to watching them. That thumbnail, that title, and the idea that he might avoid them even though he was very hungry, this was hilarious to watch, and some of the time I get annoyed by the little noises that are added to the video, but it actually adds to the funny Behavior of the jumping spider.
I think they're more expressive, because they can actually see. Unlike the rest of the arachnid family. So they react to things much like other animals.
@@ayemjake shit no wonder those crickets were looking weird at me yesterday, thankfully good ole beak, my grandpa's goose raped them all while cackling madly
@@davidarvingumazon5024 Yeah, it’s not a real spider. But I’d get goosebumps from seeing it move. Some spiders though, like when fighting Skyrims, are just as terrifying as seeing a real one climbing my walls.
Well the reason why the spider was reluctant is because crickets can actually kill and eat spiders if they are weak or if there are a lot of crickets. So there was a real danger to the spider during this. I'm glad it's alright.
Yea, even if they are prey, 100 crickets would overwhelm the spider. Hell, I wouldn’t go into a room filled with a hundred thing that would likely bite me, no matter the size.
@J. C. I think the translate button only appears if you're using the RU-vid app. When I watch RU-vid videos on my browser, the translate option isn't there.
I remember being a poor kid in Kentucky, always outside and always encountering animals. The jumping spiders left an impression on me more than any other creature. They were so inquisitive, even letting me handle them and making eye contact. I’m glad they are getting the attention they deserve now.
@@TheCrucibleBros And not just spiders, a lot of bugs and insects can learn that you're a source of safety and food and form a symbiosis naturally. As a child I briefly had pet Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches and they didn't run away from me when I took them from their tank, they just hung out with me. One did wander off a bit once and I panicked but then he came right back like half an hour later, because he knew he wouldn't find a stable source of food without me. I cried when those little guys died lol I was pretty attached and they don't live very long. I was only eight years old. And today though not my pets, I have a lot of mud dauber wasps in my yard and they love when I water the garden or put the misters on, because they like the water and mud. And they tolerate me really well because they learned that I'm the one around when there's mud and water. I've even bumped into them, grabbed objects with a wasp on it, etc. and never been stung because they're pretty calm around me and don't see me as a threat.
smart one, waited for oen to be isolated before attacking ^^ Also since jumping spiders rely on sight a lot, it may be that the mass of crickets prevented the spider from focusing on a single target (same reason why fish form schools)
@@brianmck7363 nah but doesnt mean the same defense system doesnt work :p Even if in that case the crickets weren't aware of what they were doing/had no choice but make a tight group crawling over eachother
Focus is part of it, but the other part was risk. The jumping spider risked getting injured or devoured alive if he fell into the writhing mass. That spider ran back up the wall like lightning when he fell into them for barely a moment.
This is actually also why zebras all look the same and herd, their camouflage and safety net is dependent on the presence of the herd. When scientists started tagging or marking zebras for study Lions would kill the marked or tagged ones. The markings gave the lions a way to keep track of which one they were trying to take down.
to be honest, if that jumping spider was the size of a large canine. you could picture the top of the jar as your house and the spider being 2 football fields away, then instantly being on your house in a fraction of a second...that's INSANE added: obviously physics won't allow it since spiders are small today lol i said IF and only IF. meaning if spiders were the size of a large canine (meaning earth allowed it and physics/oxygen today were NOT the same in this hypothetical realm and supported such a beast) then it would be terrifying. imagination is a word to keep in mind my fellow colleagues.
And do you see those two big eyes on its face? Those are like telescopes. Jumping spiders can see up to two feet in front of them. Just think about it. It's like if one of us could look at the surface of the moon with complete detail with just our own eyes!
thx goodness our oxygen levels aren't as high as they were in prehistoric times. Imagine a bunch of these arthropods coming after you. Not even your house would be safe.
@@rawn3rve not only do they bite, but they are known to be cannibals and will eat other crickets if available. If I was the spider's size, I'd be scared of that many crickets too.
@@samsadowitz1724 A lot of people don't seem to realize how utterly vicious and brutal large swarms of these can be. They're omnivores, too: there were some bizarre records of mass plagues where these things ate mice and other small animals alive in granaries and such. That spode is a smart spode.
I used to have a crippling arachnophobia, where even just a photo of a spider would send my heart rate through the roof and get me to hyperventilate, and freeze. A few years ago it got to the point that it severely affected my everyday life, and became a real problem. But for some reason I never had that reaction to jumping spiders. I remembered watching a few videos of them and always found them cute. So, I decided to test it again, despite being terrified of what might happen, I was okay. Learned a lot about them in the process. They are super smart and surprisingly curious for something so small. But the best thing about them is that they, for the most part, cured my arachnophobia, too. I still get the uneasy feeling when seeing one, but it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be. I don’t get started when seeing a spider, and can now get close enough to capture one to move them somewhere else. Sure, I can’t get too close, so if one is crawling on me, it definitely goes flying (and me too), but just the sight of one doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it used to. I love jumping spiders! And I’m working on maybe getting one, too. Which is a sentence a few years ago I would not have imagined I’ll ever say. Ever! Yet here I am. Jumping spiders are awesome!
Brother the speed of that jumping spider is insane the fact that even on slow motion you still cannot see it move that all it looks like it just instantly transmissions from one spot to another is insanely fast I didn't know they could move that fast that's insane
To me it's the fact it jumped like that fast and to the inside of the glass jar accurately like up and over the lid and on to the inside of the wall instantly like wtf ???
It is a pretty basic camera in terms of refresh rate. If they recorded with a 60hz or 120hz camera, then they culd easily make the slow motion more visible and fluid.
It's because of something called the Square-Cube Law. Basically, when you make something twice as big, it gets 8 times heavier but only about 4 times stronger. This is easy to visualize using cubes: start with one cube and double the size, creating a 2x2x2 array of cubes. That's 8 cubes in total, but the entire weight is supported on the 4 bottom cubes. What this means is that when you scale a creature up, they can lift less weight proportional to their own body weight, but when you scale down the reverse happens. This is why ants are known for being super strong; they're actually not especially strong, it's just that everything at that size can easily lift many times its own weight.
I neve thought feel so Happy looking a Spider. 😍😻 They have emotions too. Btw, maybe Masamune Shirow used this kind of spider for his Tachikomas. They have a cute personality too.
You can get over that fear. Watching this video is a testament to that. I encourage you if you ever see a jumping spider, stop and say "hello!" They are surprisingly curious. You can also hand feed them! Sounds wild, I know, but I have fed jumping spiders in my garden those big green house flies. They jump straight onto it and will take it right out of your fingers. Pretty cool stuff, imo. Just remember.. they are more afraid of us than we are of them! They think you are the one going to eat them!
It so interesting to see that the spider knows who its owner is. I mean it jumps out the jar to flex at the camera and thank its owner for the meal. Very cute lol
Awesome. I love the little jumping spiders I see around. They seem like they are on another level from other spiders, as far as intelligence is concerned. Im probably wrong but its strange the way they look at you and interact to a degree.
I think the biggest issue it had was locking onto a specific cricket. It needed one of them to stand out for it to go for. From what I've heard, they generally have pretty good vision for a spider. However, with a writhing mass of many crickets, finding that specific one to nab becomes tricky, as it can go from the top down to the bottom of the pile in seconds.
Well they certainly are not as smart as a dog. Rather smarter than other spiders. Also these hunt by sight so they tend to look around more and look more interested. I just think it's the supreme instincts and built in program that makes them seem super smart. But they aren't gonna roll over, learn tricks or develop a loyal bond or hunt for drugs or u know... They're spiders. 99% instincts. And I love spiders. So no bias just the truth.
