Finally a story with everything. Lust, betrayal, sex, murder, fatal attraction and dancing. A better love story than Twilight.
More visually stimulating as well.
More sexually stimulating aswell.
This is the best comment

People all dissing the Male Spider that got eaten, you don't understand! He saw his bro was failing and was going to either not get laid or get eaten, so he made the ultimate sacrifice to make sure that the female wouldn't eat his bro and that he would get laid. What a hero!
It’s enough to make a man cry and that’s okay
RIP the no.1 wingman.
@@adambarrett2015 Truly deserving of heaven.
Give that Peacock spider a medal
@@Foxy-ne2gi I agree give him a medal 🏅
“Mesmerize or die” no pressure
👏👏👏😂
😂😂😂
hahahaha
Hahahah
That's how I've always treated men. I'm still single, so I can't tell if it's working yet. . . . 🤔
Husband, “ What the f are you watching?”
Me, “Spider porn.” 😒
Husband, “I knew I married a freak.”
Oooh I know you I used to watch your vlogs 👌
Hahahaha 🤪😂
😂😂😂
At least you didn't inject a lethal dose of venom into his brain
I would suggest you watch slug sex, its quite fascinating 🤣
I was watching this thinking aww they’re unbelievably cute how can anyone be scared of spiders... then she cannibalised the male 🤦🏻♀️
Remember the praying mantis
Normal Human true tho not anywhere near as cute as these little guys, in fact not cute at all, they kind of look like the bad guys lol
Hahahah
@@theparchedone5366 where
Nah she was just angry at the other that tried to stop the dance
Fun fact: peacock jumping spiders were first discovered by a bunch of university students after they found two male peacock spiders. They named them Sparklemuffin and Skeletor.
Holy shit its true
Peacock Spiders are so freaking cute x3
That's not fully correct. The first Australian peacock spider genus Maratus Karsch was discovered in 1878. Skeletor, Spidermuffin, and the Elephant Peacock Spider are 3 more recently discovered species of Peacock Spider in 2015 and as of March 2020 at least 7 new species in the genus have been discovered by a peacock spider specialist, Joseph Schubert.
@@HimeTakamura thanks for the info
Skeletor?? 😂
That's a big ass grain of rice
Ahhaha
Biggest ones are 5mm, most are smaller, some very small indeed.
No you've just got a good screen! 😂
Thought the same!
Rival male: (steps in)
Male: You mother%$&*
Female: (eats him)
Male: Ayeeeee mamiiiiii (dances for her once again after letting her finish her dinner)
Female: I always love a man who takes me out to eat❤️
Hahaha 🤣😹
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aww she loved his dance so much she got pissed when the other dude distracted her. True love
True love 💯💯
I love how at 1:28 she turns and looks into the camera like "You idiots are messing up our date!!" 😂
not the slow head turn 😭
“Can we get privacy here?”
True fact: Peacock spiders do not have a "bro code."
Good one
Except for the rival male in this video. Bro legit saved the male spider’s life.
Well that went from whimsical to "nature is scary af" quickly..
😂
Not counting the time Peter Parker was trying to stop that train, this is the absolute hardest I've ever rooted for a spider in my entire life
Ooh this is one male that I everrrr felt sad and sorry for after so much work to please the female
3:20 looks like he gets all nervous for a second while she gets closer lol
Who wouldn't get nervous and scared when you literally see your girlfriend kill someone RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
His little dance definitely became more frantic🤣 bro was dancing for his life
He was getting ready for her to lung
This video was easily some of the most stressful 5 minutes of my life. So much plot and tension
"The rival is not a mate but a meal"... . That was brutal and amazing at the same time!
Very true, and, frankly, I don’t blame her. After all, he was a fool in the first place for approaching her recklessly and getting into her personal space. Even I wouldn’t stand for such inexperienced rudeness.
Rival: Hippity hoppity, your girl is now m-
Peacock spider trying to impress girl: 😂👌
Fr
She was like "oh hell no!! You will not mess with my boo and his majestic dance of love!"
these female spiders have the best life. No need to go hunting or looking for a male spider to mate. She has both colorfully delivered to her doorstep.
poor dude just wanted to love her
yes...love her
@@wikicari1736 in the same way that Akon wants to “love you” in the censored version of “I see you winin’ and grindin’ up on that pole, I know you see me looking at you and you already know, I wanna…..”
2:10 turns towards the camera man
It's like an office moment
"Get a load of this guy"
That's so cute though, like she's saying yes do you mind we have some business to finish here.
“You seeing this shit?”
👁️ 👁️
👁️👁️
👄
3:35 the moment where he bops her head is adorable.
So imagine that lads you can get lucky or get eaten
or both!
Jack Spiring eaten, every time
If you're a mantis, your head gets eaten while you're getting laid.
Can't wait for the "men of culture" to say both are lucky.
Yeah and? This happens already ?
I guess suitor #2 didn't get the personal space memo.
This is some weird shit. We got all types of plot twist in here.
I'm not impressed when they can't even lip sync for their life
dvxAznxvb
Someone needs to do a bit of photoshop and a video of that! Peacock spider singing
lol love the RPDR reference!!!
If yall didnt think these spiders couldnt get any more fascinating, they are also known as 'sparklemuffins'.
Every time it fanned out and started waving two legs like "heyyyy!!!" I lost it hahaha
Dang. I'm trying to get over my fear of spiders so have been checking out how cool, sweet and awesome they are. I then stumbled upon this video. The beauty of the male is incredible. The "dancing" brought me to smiles and an appreciative laugh - then came the other male and I felt bad for the first guy... until she grabbed the 2nd one. Then I thought, oh wow, she's really forceful. My shock then turned to horror 😱😨😬
Lol
It happens quite a bit with spiders
@@dawncaron3960 Humans too
@DollarSignSlate ya you're not wrong
Best comment I've seen on TH-cam, lmfao@@DollarSignSlate
Female spider: die and become my meal
Male spider: um.............oh no
Rival spider: I'm here to win!!!!!
Female spider: what a decent meal
So many emotions in 5 minutes.
I love that he couldn't keep it together when he had to say the scientific term was rumble rumps. 😂❤
And this is all programmed somewhere in that tiny brain. Amazing.
Peacock spiders are members of the family Salticidae - jumping spiders. They all have the large eyes you see and fascinate scientists because they have, despite their miniscule brains, surprising abilities to calculate angles etc when hunting prey.
Filming a mating dance.
Him: "Now run the lawnmower through!"
That little bugger had me mesmerized from that beautiful color display and his moves. Fortunately, I snapped out of it before I ended up pregnant.
Luv how they play bongos while their dancing
Blyme these little dancing opal bums are not only dancers but they play the drums while at if. How awesome...you go little Ozzie.
That poor spider will probably be traumatized for the rest of his life after that moment
“Mother Nature is a maaaaad scientist Jerry!” So great, zoomed in to feel like I’m their size.
Haha... I love jumping spiders. They're so cute! I used to keep Phidippus johnsonis as pets, and the males would always do this elaborate little dance to try and impress the female.
How many males got eaten
1:08 the cute eyes🥺🥺
Wow all that stunning beauty and deadly force locked inside an insect the size of a grain of rice! Amazing.
careful there, she kills her mates
Two legs too many
It's actually an arachnid, insects have 6 legs while arachnids such as spiders have 8
The dance music, sound effects and voice over were all 10/10 💀
3:10 "He must mesmerize... or DIE."
😂 LMFAO, why is this so intense?
Could you imagine if men had to mating dances too? Like you're netting your blind date and he walks up to you doing some disco?
If a man starts shaking his arse at me.. I'm leaving. 😂
lady spider: " I'm interested, but I'm a bit peckish. hold on while I eat this other guy vying for my affections."
The fact that the females abdomen can twist a full 180 degrees is surprising
Amazing creatures. I am not fan of spiders.. they are everywhere 😅😅😅
If they're everywhere so you can't avoid them - life must be absolute hell.
Not those though!
Humans are also everywhere... its horrible
For arachnids these guys are pretty cute.
Just gotta love how the mandibles kinda looks like a pair of fluffy mittens
Ain't that what we human do, it's called friday night at the bar. 😆
Yoooo this is another level of commitment, he STILL wanted some after she done killed some other fool 🤣
2:28 that was scary
Well, THAT took a turn...
When the girl you're trying to impress murders someone in front of you
"Oh no! So anyway"
I love spider eyes, cutest of all animal kingdom 😍
Rival suitor looks like he just stumbled in like Oh hey, hi 👋🏼 hello there
2:10 she turns towards the cameraman "You seeing this shit?" 👀🤷🏻♀️
I want to adopt that spider he looks so kind and cute 😍
Normally spiders look horrible but this one looks beautiful. That spider that tried to cut in on the other one got his just desserts.😆
They’re absolutely adorable btw :3
Gogeous animals
The little head tilt!!! 🥰😍😍
Why are SPIDERS so cute 😂📱😂😂
Wow! That spider is so cute! WAIT!.......I never would have thought that I would ever use the words 'cute' and 'spider ' in the same sentence! 🕷
mesmerized or died. fifty shades of spider hahahahaha
I want to be reincarnated as a female peacock spider 😆
Mother Nature is truly amazing.
The magic of reality... 😲
She looks gorgeous. The way she turned her head was so cute and fast. What a beautiful evil creatures.
Well that went dark quite quickly didn't it?
3:39 TO be honest more than likely she already decided to chose him as a mate, so when the other one came along she figured look a meal for the babys. & grabbed him & waited to see if daddy dearest got scared away.
So cute arachnophobs give this a chance 😂😂
I got scared when the female suddenly attacked the spider.... i had my volume full
bro just straight up went from 60 fps to 20 fps while dancing
me and my family were watching this after dinner and we all LOST it when homegirl ate Mr. Steal Yo Girl
He rotates her abdomen into position.. 🙊

Love jumpers! One of the funniest looking animals in existence with a lot of curiosity and cute dancing skills.
Videos like these actually make spiders look so cute.
I love this wonderful post...and for all those who are afraid of spiders...this should be watched!!! Thank you!!
Looks exactly like a Jumping Spider without all the color...Love this
The worst in humans she says no to him the worst in spiders she eats him
1:35 is The best part
I'm an arachnophobe, but that thing is kind of cute actually
Dang the other Male thought he was gonna Debo his way in there but paid for it 😂😂😂
Me: dying virgen is cool
Some spiders: bruh
She killed the other dude. What a woman!
Keep dancing bro. Keep dancing! 😅
Bro, doesn't the spider know it's no simp september? What a simp bro smh
Lol so spiders get turned on by that dance 😂
Well at least those kind do
Imagine just mowing your lawn one day, only to stumble upon a crew of filmographers and researchers with 10 cameras in your bushes all filming one tiny spider.
dang that took a turn... oh hell no. boi get out.. get out...
Welcome to another episode of thank god this is in my recommendation
So cute!
The markings on that tail look like some creepy prehistoric cave painting of a spider god.
1:40 she never stood a chance.
*zefrank song plays in the distance*
1:40 literally spreading it's cheeks 😂
2:30
My wife does the same ... with my mind. ... sometimes 😁
Such beautiful perfection in such a tiny creature! proof of God!
Someone needs to put 'dance till' you're dead' over this
I remember doing a project on this spider :)
