    That happy dance and little touch at the end is so cute. I'm so used to seeing funnel web spiders look aggressive that seeing something like that really puts a smile on my face.

    Fascinating to see such a rare pairing, especially how she slapped at him at first... and then spun in a full circle afterwards lol. Really makes a lot of sense that she would be very hesitant to leave her web. Spiders are very easy to read sometimes, and I think this is a great example of that. Thanks for the content as always :)

    Dave as I have stated before I know nothing about spiders other than I was very afraid of them.
    I can honestly say that your channel has helped me cope with my anxiety of spiders. I love! To watch your videos especially the pairings.
    To know when a female is being aggressive or not is amazing to me.
    Please keep doing what your doing. Your changing my fear of spiders into amazement.

    Holy s*** Dave, iv said it once ill say it a million times, absolutely un believable footage coming out of your corner mate! David Attenborough eat your heart out, the anticipation in your voice while commentating was just as much anticipation in the little fellows effort to get the deed done, considering I strongly dislike the Australian funnel-web species, I love both this species and the other gigglyWiggley one.. (Japanese funnel-web) or however is pronounced, I love their psycho webbing and the characteristics of ther body and spinnerette movements, almost tarantula like but yet totally unique! Cheers!

    Hold your breath….. wow what a brave little man, so much involved in the mating process with these spiders, and given how dangerous/aggressive they can be, its really insightful to have the behaviour explained… our whole family now watch and see spiders around the house/property, we alway catch and release, but now we identify colour/patterns and temperament, it has really helped remove the fear and how we react. I love what you are doing for the hobby and for removing fear and replacing it with interest and curiosity.. thank you.

    I'm not too big of a fan of wild caught specimens being held in captivity. Especially so for the roamin spiders and critters. Although I had noticed you mention something about breeding programs to battle their population losses due to habitat loss and being over hunted. You capture some remarkable footage that will give National Geographic wildlife documentaries a run for their money! These pairing videos are so fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
