I Unleashed a Swarm of Huntsman Spiders Into My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

  • The War of Pantdora continues after unleashing a spider apocalypse. My giant cloud rainforest vivarium has evolved into an utter dream tank, full of interdependent flora and fauna. However, the time had come to finally add a swarm of huntsmen spiders, to would become important predators controlling populations of prey creatures within the ecosystem. But after adding in the arachnids, a war of ant powers was once again brewing, and I could do nothing also but watch the biological drama play out. Hope you enjoy this week's episode, Part 13 of my ecosystem vivarium series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

    I have no idea why this video was in my feed. I'm terrified of bugs and especially spiders (and honestly can't fathom why someone would make a vivarium such as this) but I was also curious over the video title, so I gave it a minute...and another minute. And suddenly the video was over. Amazing storytelling, it's like watching a documentary. I love your take on the situations, the names and the facts. I shed a tear over the comment of the green reaper, and I smiled when you released the grey. I think I'll watch another one of your videos now even if it means my algorithm will probably be less than nice from now on.

      If you ever need help getting more used to arachnids and insects, I'd recommend looking into some facts about creatures like whip scorpions/spiders and vinegaroons. They're freaky looking arachnids, but they're actually incredibly harmless, timid, and caring creatures that are known to cuddle with their children in times of distress, and they're fairly easy to take care of. There's also jumping spiders, which are practically the house cats of arachnids.

    The unknown ant you found on camera while watching the huntsman baby spider might be a Ghost Ant.
    Also known as the black-headed ant ( at 14:00)
    Characteristics include:
    - Ghost ants exhibit rapid, erratic movement that resembles small spiders.
    - Like odorous house ants, the ghost ant excretes a rotten coconut smell.
    - Tiny; head and thorax are dark and the body is light, almost translucent.
    Habitat:
    - Constructs nests in moist grass and potted plants.
    - Indoors, will nest in small spaces such as cracks, spaces between cabinetry, baseboards, books, and wall voids.

      Huntsman spiders are actually pretty awesome. I used to live under my parent's house as a teenager which was basically open to the backyard 24/7 and huntsman spiders would come and go as they pleased. There were a few creepy moments - like the time I had one the size of my hand crawl across my belly but other than that, they're pretty helpful. They will actively keep more poisonous spiders away from you.

The wrath of our Heavenly Father GOD is almost here, repent of your sins in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and put your faith in Jesus Christ only. The only one who can save you from death is Jesus Christ The Son of GOD, every knee will bow to Him.

      7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
      8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
      9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
      10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
      11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
      12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
      13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

    The green reaper is gorgeous. I used to regularly catch green mantids in the auto shop I worked at, taking them out back to live in the field. Usually they'd either scamper away or turn around to do their little mantis-haka at me ('Have at thee, knave!') and I only ever caught one winged adult. Their flight speed is as surprising as their jumping ability! I think I might have just been able to keep up at a full sprint, and that adult flew all the way across the field and into the neighborhood, at least 45 meters/50 yards. Seriously athletic insects.
    Crazy ants are jerks, I hope Pandora's Ant HOA bands together to give them the boot! And of course, long live the noble hunstmen (and tarantula)!

    I’ve been watching your channel for years and I’ve always been impressed by your ability to create a narrative for your various projects from the Rhino Beatle Battles done gladiator style to desperately trying to save the Golden Army but with this project I feel you should be so proud! I never dreamt I could literally be moved to tears watching a poor little dwarf ant try to fend off a bunch of invaders just to get blasted in the face and Very clearly get hurt and it trying to brush it off… it felt like watching an amateur v Multiple master level practitioners. You’ve created such a captivating look into this beautiful world and I started crying even more while you were talking about how you feel as the creator of this beautiful place and how proud you are and how invested… what an absolutely beautiful way to put into perspective how loved and cared about we are… how even when you’re trying your best as an “omnipotent being” it can still sometimes be hard to maintain a balance. Thank you for sharing your wonderful world and the love you have for it with us! ✌🏼💕🙏🏼

    More of the aquatic biome! It’s a true piece of Pantdora that we didn’t explore in this episode, even if its just checking up on the crabs, watching the guppies eat something.. or adding a new beast to roam those waters..! I’d love to see that area in just a constant thrive as the lush lands, i’m sure it is, I just need to see it!
