ROTFL. Sitting, going through my feed. Get the notification you posted. My daughter was laying on the opposite couch and had fallen asleep. Clicked on your video and within 10 seconds, my daughter sits up, raises her arms to the ceiling and says “DARRRK DEEENNN”. She recognized your voice/intro immediately and LOVES you! She’s an animal/insect/ocean/overall animal lover. It was hilarious. You know you’re validated when your voice is so recognizable that it wakes an 8 year old from a dead sleep!!! 🕸🕷❤️
My girls (7& 9) are the same! Whenever they have friends over we show a video or two, and they all love Petko's enthusiasm (although not all love the tarantulas:) They wanted to buy me a tshirt last Xmas but we are waiting for the white ones. When are they coming Petko?
@@Jindychick Uhh, don hold your breath on that, I just restocked logo shirts and are only black ones. It is tricky to have constant stock of different color shirts so that's why I decided to only have one color regularly available while multiple color options are only during the preorder D:
My nieces were scared of spiders (like i used to be) so i started watching your videos with them. My oldest niece, whose five now, is OBSESSED with your videos now and wants a tarantula. When i reminded her she cant hold and pet them she said "thats okay I just want to watch them, and watch you feed them and get scared like Petko!" xD
I have been wondering about the roaches as well. I think no news is good news. The mites haven’t destroyed his tarantulas or we would know. But an update would be nice.
I had a giant orb weaver spider like this in the front of my house last summer, and I took lots of pictures and watched her grow over the few months she was there. Miss her 😢
Hey! 😁 I'm in Alberta too...and I had my first experience with a big spider like that about a decade ago! Haven't seen one since! I was so shocked because we don't usually get big spiders like that where I live! Not that I had seen before anyway! It definitely made my arachnophobia squirm a bit! Lol 😂
@@bigcat1158 it's very possible this one survived what was supposed to be its end of season death so it just carried on to the next season with 1-2 more molts. right place, right time possibly.
Joey _ yeah I’m in Alberta too. We call them cat face spiders. Love spiders (I’ve got 14 tarantulas currently) and most inverts but these freak me out. I don’t kill them but I still avoid them.
Omg, the shape of that spider comes straight out of my nightmares. 😭. I am trying to get over my fear of spiders, but this species is a deal breaker for me. * shudders *
And for me this shape reminds me of my childhood because I was always investigating their webs and trying to figure out where is spider hiding, only positive memories. Interesting how we all have different reactions and feeling to same things.
@@TheDarkDen For me it was ants, woodlice and diving beetles. I loved watching them and tried to breed them. I actually miss my diving beetles the most, fascinating ferocious little menaces :D
if it bits u , u don't get venomus but its like fire ant bitten u. we actually use this spiders to fight another spider. not big ones fighting spider to spider to death
Every time you pick her up it just gives me goosebumps. Oh how I wish I were free of fear from spiders. And be just like you and Kat who loved every eight legged Critter known to man. And some six-legged and four-legged now that I think about it.
In germany, this is one of the most common spiders outside and we call it "Kreuzspinne" (Araneus diadematus). Looks very similar, but the ones here have a more pregnant cross on the bottom back part
Would that be a good pet for a beginner I’m not really into like tarantulas or big spiders I love scorpions and vinegaroons tho I think there very cool so does my girl freind
Would you be interested in making a burrow-digging timelapse for a species like Aphonopelma or Pelinobius Muticus? Their digging behaviour is really fascinating when they get a new enclosure space.
Also checking in from Canada! We have these guys everywhere. They are terrifying to me even though I'm starting to like spiders more and more. I was just talking to roommate about these guys yesterday so this is very exciting to see! Thanks for the vid Petko!
That's the way all my spiders are. I have them all in the wild. I raise organic raspberries so spiders are welcome in the berry patch. I found a huge Golden Orb-weaver in the house last summer and relocated it into the garden. Spiders make excellent pest control.
it was a big spider like that that scared me as a child, and although I feel better about spiders generally in part thanks to watching your video, big buggers like that still give me the heebee jeebees.
A few years ago, we had a huge (for UK) garden spider that had made it's web across a large window on the conservatory. She really was massive and her colouring was amazing, she was creamy white with dark brown markings. I used to go out and see her every day. Then one day she wasn't there any more and the web was destroyed. 😭
Our versicolor sling had a freak accident, claw got stuck in a vent hole right before a molt, very bad luck 😢 I hope to get another versicolor one day, maybe not a sling tho... Good luck w/ your babies! So many littles! 😍
The biggest native spider in N. Indiana is the black and yellow garden spider. They can have up to a six inch leg span, with the body being about 1 1/2 to two inches long. I put my hand on one once, they’re very bristly. Another one I saw in this area when I was a kid, was a raft spider. It had about a three inch body, but the legs were about five inches long. It would float on the surface tension of pond water.
That is a "Gagamba" its called that way in my country where i live in the philippines i have been collecting them for spider fights but now its illegal in our country.
I love your videos. My girlfriend hates spiders. She knows when she hears your voice coming from my phone to just stay away so she doesn't have to see any spiders 😂😂
That's so cool and convenient, I found a spider that looks just like that outside my camper the other day, but she's green. About the same size though and same patterning.
Wow that is a big orb weaver! Such a big booty too! I used to not like orb weavers and think they were an ugly spider species but over the years, I gotten to really appreciate them. Our spiders here are more yellow and black. I had one I gotten to care about. She made a nice web up by a bug light on the patio and I got to see her quite often for a while. I really liked her. She was up just to high to give her offerings but if her web had been lower I would had. I enjoyed showing her off to our members that live here. They have mental limitations so it was fun to show her off and talk about her and expose them to nature. I named her Charlotte. I think we had her for almost a month before I found her dead on the ground most likely blown out from some strong wind that night. I was so sad to loose her. I still have her in a box preserved. I hope the spider you got will stay. That would be neat to see her settle in. Also If Im not mistaken, in the greek myth of Arachne, it was a orb weaver she was turned in to.
That orb weaver is also known as a bolas spider. They spend most of the day disguised as bird poop and hunt at night using various chemical lures to attract moths. They hang from a silk thread and capture the moths with a silk thread with a sticky end that they use like a bolas hence the name.
We have those very same bold jumping spiders in our yard here in Portland, Oregon. I photographed one with the bright green fangs like Kiwi just yesterday!
They live for about 7 years. They molt only three times in their life. Once a year for the first three years. If she hadn't molted I would say she just died of old age, if you didn't get her as a baby. Though only molting once in the three years that you've had her is a bit odd. Also with her staying in her burrow for such an extended period of time I would do a complete search of that enclosure for and babies if you had put her with a male. As it can take up to 7 months, give or take a month or two for the babies to hatch and molt for the first time and leave the mothers burrow. Also the length of her body should be, if the species from America, 3.8 - 5 cm long. For the other species I'm not sure as I've only had Mastigoproctus giganteus giganteus, the species from America.
They are called Korsspindel here in Sweden, we got them everywhere. During nights in the summer I have like 30 of them hanging down from one of my big windows.
We get them in England, we call them garden spiders, one of my personal favourites, you also get them in some beautiful vibrant orange as well, and yes the females grow massive
@@snickypoo I've not seen any for quite a few years, but when I was younger in the northwest summer time, a small village called Earby near Burnley used to be inundated with them
I live in the US and we have some that are almost this big!! I have one orb spider that hangs on the edge of my front door every fall and after october they go away. I call them my October Spiders. She doesn't bother me as long as she doesn't crawl down and on me. Thats the only spider (besides your spiders) that I like, any other spider I'm freaking out screaming or frozen in the spit until my husband can kill it!!!
that kind of spider is very popular in our country, we own them as an insect pet or we made them to fight against one of its kind for money, it's more like a betting/waging game. they are not venomous and it's safe to hold them
im from croatia and those spiders are so common lol, in croatia we call them "pauk križar" pauk = spider, and the "križar" is because of the cross that you can see on the spiders abdomen
Here in Aomori we have Aranaeus Ventricosus, she looks quite similar in both size and color to those. Well, mostly, we have some that get that caramel color, but most are a scattered arrangement of greys.
we have that in the philippines and its more common there than any contry i think. people use those spiders to gamble and win money they even use the gold weaver spiders to battle against those spiders
This spider with this huge butt. We have similar ones here, which are usually just a little smaller. And they freaking me out. In the garden, okay. In the barn, okay. But not by the house, next to the terrace xx
We have alot of Bold Jumping spiders here in California. They are real neat to handle, and watch their feeding habits! They are similar in color to Kiwi. She's is awesomeness!!! 😍❤❤
How is this possible: big spiders like Ts are not scary to me, but fascinating. But looking at the more common spider like the one in the video i have goosebumps all over and feel absolute dread.
Im not a big fan of spiders, i dont hate them- but like most people i dont appreciate to have them in my room or bed. But Kiwi.. Shes to cute, and i wouldnt mind having her in my room. Never seen that spider up close like this, SO cute.
vinegaroons :Fairly long-lived, whip scorpions can live at least seven years. They grow slowly, molting three times in about three years. Once becoming adults, they live up to another four years.
Hey man, i am a huge fan of your channel!! I wanted to ask you an advice, what do you feel about a Cyriopagopus lividus as my very first tarantula? I know you consider old world species not suitable for beginners, but still I'm in love with it...please advice!! Also, since I know you don't believe in animal shops, any breeder around Europe you could suggest? Thanks man, keep up the good work ;)
I wish when you are referencing other spiders that you could show us an image or small video clip so us that don’t know every spider could learn that with you. It would improve your videos a lot. Love the multiple animal updates though.
@@Zepper-xs6bu Or you know, see it on screen as you are talking about it like he started doing after i made this comment, hmm 2 years ago. A lot of kids watch this, do you see them with the attention span of tik tok videos these days sitting googling the sometimes numerous animals he talks of in latin names?
The first time I was ever bitten by a spider, it was one of these, around the same size too...it honestly scared me more than anything as I had handled so many spiders before. This one bit me immediately and didn't immediately let go either. Funny enough, I was trying to show my friends how they don't have to be scared of all spiders and ended up showing them the opposite.
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. Love your voice knowledge of arachnids. Great video Subscribed! My middle son lived insects and animals. When he was in diapers he would lift the slate slabs looking for insects. When he was about 9, we would go to the Bronx Zoo. For some reason some animals came right up to him. He moved when he was 20. He was out on his deck and a baby squirrel curled up on his foot!
UGH i hate spiders. In the apartment complex i lived at before there was a HUGE spider infestation. The property was neglected by the state, grass were allowed to grow tall and the building wasn't repaired etc etc. Literal HUNDREDS of spiders could be found in one apartment alone. They would come out of power outlets, holes and cracks in the floors/walls and set up home inside furniture and machinery. There were webs inside my computer as an example. And don't get me started what it looked like underneath my bed.
U can keep this spider in smaller box and it should eat from tweezers.. When eggs hatch little spiders will make some web and eat everything small u put them ..Had one once for daughter , and it bring us more fun interacting than birdeaters :)
Wow, look at that booty! We get the other species where I am in the fall and it's just crazy how much bigger that species is! Is it typically a summer species though? It's so strange to see one so big not in the fall. Babies are looking good! Sorry about the vinegaroon. Very sad news. They are cool looking critters. and I'm on my way to the mantis video now!
I believe this is a hobo spider species, what's unique about them they well make a long thread of silk and at the end of it a sticky glob that they will use like a cowboy to get moths.
Hmmm such orb weavers are really common in China though, most of them get this big if the situation favors. They don't looks like seasonal though, because you get whole range of different size of them doing their thing at same time during summer
Is it possible for an araneus which has not made eggs to have spent a winter inside a den or a warm place, and survived by feeding from infesting stink bugs? This may explain the huge size.
Hi That spider looks like its a Nescona family spider. most likely "Neoscona crucifera" common name of the Nescona family in South africa is a "hairy field spider" or spotted orb shes a beauty.
Just found your channel and i can see you a quite good youtuber. I like your vids, not boring and informational at the same time. Afraid of spider but very curious about them. Keep up
Araneus and Neosconas are generally docile, but one thing they do dislike is being picked up by the thorax, especially when their thorax are very plump.
P.s. that place you picked to release her looks exactly like Washington State Terrain. All the trees and wide open spaces you just put her in spider Paradise. Oh and now you just said you don't think your neighbors will be happy about this. If I were your neighbor I wouldn't be happy about it either. I'm trying so hard to lose my arachnophobia.
Here in Canada (where I am, anyway), our spiders don't *usually* get that big. I'm assuming that it's because of our cold winters. However, about 10 years ago, my son and I lived in a new subdivision of our city, and we had a monster spider living under our deck. I'd never seen anything like it before. She looked a lot like a crab to me, and she was white...and about the same size as the spider at the beginning of this video. I was flabbergasted. I have arachnophobia, so I didn't want to get too close to her. Lol I did a bunch of googling, and decided that she was a garden spider.....? She never tried to enter our house, and was very happy to live under the deck, so we said hi to her everyday (my son was about 10 at the time), and we left her alone. (We even named her Seraphina the Spider.) Then one day, a construction worker was in our yard (building a garage)....he saw her...knocked her down, and stepped on her. My son and I were devastated. Our poor Sera. 😑 Never before or since have I seen a spider like that in our city.
I am curious if there ever was something new on Cappucino being mentioned on a newsoutlet? Did they find out it was a hamster, is there more speculation?
What you should do is give some enclosures to your friends for testing. That way you can get most of the kinks. Out of the system but there will be some outliers. Just to let you know because we are humans
Nooooo,someone beat me to sending you Reign drinks! I've been holding on to a bunch and just trying to save up for shipping for a month. Curses, Timo from Germany lol. JK I've been missing Kiwi so I was SOOO excited when you said Monday that we would get an update on her, she's so cute!
I want to see kiwi everyday. It is the most adorable jumping spider. I'm having such a hard time finding one. Everybody says they'll be out in your garden and I'm not in my garden looking every day and I never get to find a jumping spider. I guess I'm not looking hard enough. Wish me luck
that kind of spider is sooo common in the Philippines we also called it "derby spider" cause many kids her in the Philippines buy that kind of derby spider and put 2 derby spider in a stick just watch the two(2) derby spider to fight
Notice the "horns" on its abdomin. Its not as pronounced, but it is there. Araneus Angulatus? I've handled orb weavers, as a hobby to capture them. I find the best way to handle them is to either let them onto your hand, then closing your hand without making a tight fist. Leave an opening with your thumb and index finger, the reason for this is because they may bite. However, there is a way to prevent that. Blow gently into the opening and this will trigger the arachnid to curve into a ball. Its a natural behavior in the wild. When the wind blows, its their instinctive reaction. Also, Orb weavers surf the wind by letting out a thread and be carried into their potential next home. I find that its the best way to handle them without causing harm. Besides, even if they bite you, their venom isn't potent as black widows or other arachnids. That is, if they do decide to inject. Most are dry bites as a defensive tactic. I know because I use to live in the Philippines, and there's many things there that are frowned upon if you're an animal lover. Hopefully, that's no longer the case.
Kiwi is a hunting spider, maybe it would be better to release an injured roach (or some other insect that cannot burrow) into her enclosure and give her some exercise?
We have those same spiders in Albert Canada. They can get very big..and they do bite..and if they fall from a high web ,the body cracks and she will die.. so if i see one this summer,I will definitely send you a picture...they are beautiful spiders but moody..lol
Hello ! Your areanus angulatus may try to bite you but her fangs are just too weak to pierce through your skin, I use to manipulate these kind of spiders, one day holding one in my hand I noticed that she was holding on my finger using only her fangs and I didn't even noticed that she was bitting me (at least trying to) ^^
In Denmark we call them kors edderkopper or the English version cross spiders, they are actually related to the black widow spider and the redback spider

There is a lot of similar looking species like these orb weavers, that's why it can be tricky to identify them ^^
Vinegaroons live approximately 8 years, molting 4 times before reaching adulthood
Would that be a good pet for a beginner I’m not really into like tarantulas or big spiders I love scorpions and vinegaroons tho I think there very cool so does my girl freind
Males live 7-8 years but females can live up to 20 yrs just like tarantulas

This spider with this huge butt. We have similar ones here, which are usually just a little smaller. And they freaking me out. In the garden, okay. In the barn, okay. But not by the house, next to the terrace xx
We have alot of Bold Jumping spiders here in California. They are real neat to handle, and watch their feeding habits! They are similar in color to Kiwi. She's is awesomeness!!! 😍❤❤
I share your feelings Petco these are similar to the spiders we have here in the UK I always use to play with these in the garden as achild
This is something i expect to be in Australia
Every time I see the babies I get so nervous that the tissue will get too damp, fall in the water and drown them. Glad to see they’re growing!
How is this possible: big spiders like Ts are not scary to me, but fascinating. But looking at the more common spider like the one in the video i have goosebumps all over and feel absolute dread.
Im not a big fan of spiders, i dont hate them- but like most people i dont appreciate to have them in my room or bed. But Kiwi.. Shes to cute, and i wouldnt mind having her in my room. Never seen that spider up close like this, SO cute.
vinegaroons :Fairly long-lived, whip scorpions can live at least seven years. They grow slowly, molting three times in about three years. Once becoming adults, they live up to another four years.
Hey man, i am a huge fan of your channel!! I wanted to ask you an advice, what do you feel about a Cyriopagopus lividus as my very first tarantula? I know you consider old world species not suitable for beginners, but still I'm in love with it...please advice!! Also, since I know you don't believe in animal shops, any breeder around Europe you could suggest? Thanks man, keep up the good work ;)
I wish when you are referencing other spiders that you could show us an image or small video clip so us that don’t know every spider could learn that with you. It would improve your videos a lot. Love the multiple animal updates though.
Or ya know....Google exists for you as well.
@@Zepper-xs6bu Or you know, see it on screen as you are talking about it like he started doing after i made this comment, hmm 2 years ago. A lot of kids watch this, do you see them with the attention span of tik tok videos these days sitting googling the sometimes numerous animals he talks of in latin names?
The first time I was ever bitten by a spider, it was one of these, around the same size too...it honestly scared me more than anything as I had handled so many spiders before. This one bit me immediately and didn't immediately let go either. Funny enough, I was trying to show my friends how they don't have to be scared of all spiders and ended up showing them the opposite.
I love orb weavers! I had one but they are hard to keep in captivity. It lasted a long time compared to others I've heard.
This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. Love your voice knowledge of arachnids. Great video Subscribed! My middle son lived insects and animals. When he was in diapers he would lift the slate slabs looking for insects. When he was about 9, we would go to the Bronx Zoo. For some reason some animals came right up to him. He moved when he was 20. He was out on his deck and a baby squirrel curled up on his foot!
UGH i hate spiders. In the apartment complex i lived at before there was a HUGE spider infestation. The property was neglected by the state, grass were allowed to grow tall and the building wasn't repaired etc etc. Literal HUNDREDS of spiders could be found in one apartment alone. They would come out of power outlets, holes and cracks in the floors/walls and set up home inside furniture and machinery. There were webs inside my computer as an example. And don't get me started what it looked like underneath my bed.
U can keep this spider in smaller box and it should eat from tweezers.. When eggs hatch little spiders will make some web and eat everything small u put them ..Had one once for daughter , and it bring us more fun interacting than birdeaters :)
Here on philipines its normal they also have fights
Wow, look at that booty! We get the other species where I am in the fall and it's just crazy how much bigger that species is! Is it typically a summer species though? It's so strange to see one so big not in the fall.
Babies are looking good!
Sorry about the vinegaroon. Very sad news. They are cool looking critters.
and I'm on my way to the mantis video now!
this type of spider were usually used for fighting in my country
I believe this is a hobo spider species, what's unique about them they well make a long thread of silk and at the end of it a sticky glob that they will use like a cowboy to get moths.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing petko
Petko be prepared for the Reign energy drinks! No sugar, 300mg of caffeine! Thats about 2.5 liters of strong coffee!
there really not that strong, i normally drink 4-5 a day
Loved seeing Kiwi she's super cute. Thank you for the update. Keep up the great work Petko.
Hmmm such orb weavers are really common in China though, most of them get this big if the situation favors. They don't looks like seasonal though, because you get whole range of different size of them doing their thing at same time during summer
Spider babies look like little, buttery beans. So cute!
This is a spider we call ''Keresztespók''.This is a most common spider in Hungary and it is harmless
Is it possible for an araneus which has not made eggs to have spent a winter inside a den or a warm place, and survived by feeding from infesting stink bugs?
This may explain the huge size.
Hi
That spider looks like its a Nescona family spider.
most likely "Neoscona crucifera"
common name of the Nescona family in South africa is a "hairy field spider" or spotted orb
shes a beauty.
Just found your channel and i can see you a quite good youtuber. I like your vids, not boring and informational at the same time. Afraid of spider but very curious about them. Keep up
In australia we have 10+ centimetre Golden orb weavers (Trichonephila and Nephila sp.). They are really docile. You should look them up.
Araneus and Neosconas are generally docile, but one thing they do dislike is being picked up by the thorax, especially when their thorax are very plump.
P.s. that place you picked to release her looks exactly like Washington State Terrain. All the trees and wide open spaces you just put her in spider Paradise. Oh and now you just said you don't think your neighbors will be happy about this. If I were your neighbor I wouldn't be happy about it either. I'm trying so hard to lose my arachnophobia.
Kiwi has grown so much she's so damn cute he fangs are so adorable omg I love her
Kiwi is such a sweetheart ❤
LOVE all the way from the Philippines!
Here in Canada (where I am, anyway), our spiders don't *usually* get that big. I'm assuming that it's because of our cold winters.
However, about 10 years ago, my son and I lived in a new subdivision of our city, and we had a monster spider living under our deck. I'd never seen anything like it before. She looked a lot like a crab to me, and she was white...and about the same size as the spider at the beginning of this video.
I was flabbergasted. I have arachnophobia, so I didn't want to get too close to her. Lol
I did a bunch of googling, and decided that she was a garden spider.....?
She never tried to enter our house, and was very happy to live under the deck, so we said hi to her everyday (my son was about 10 at the time), and we left her alone. (We even named her Seraphina the Spider.)
Then one day, a construction worker was in our yard (building a garage)....he saw her...knocked her down, and stepped on her.
My son and I were devastated.
Our poor Sera. 😑
Never before or since have I seen a spider like that in our city.
I am curious if there ever was something new on Cappucino being mentioned on a newsoutlet? Did they find out it was a hamster, is there more speculation?
Huh? Did I miss something? Care to explain a bit or direct me where to look?
@@stitchieRAWR He is talking about this video th-cam.com/video/LA_9ERv_6b0/w-d-xo.html
Hehe, sign is still on the tree so everything is all right :D
Oh God! Could this spider species live in Finland? I really don't want to run into a giant web with this resident inside! *Screams Internally*
Congrats on expanding to Reddit! That’s awesome
What you should do is give some enclosures to your friends for testing. That way you can get most of the kinks. Out of the system but there will be some outliers. Just to let you know because we are humans
ah the old cat faced spider, we have alot in idaho, pretty cool designs but scary for someone who doesnt know about spiders, shes big, cool
Nooooo,someone beat me to sending you Reign drinks! I've been holding on to a bunch and just trying to save up for shipping for a month. Curses, Timo from Germany lol. JK
I've been missing Kiwi so I was SOOO excited when you said Monday that we would get an update on her, she's so cute!
I want to see kiwi everyday. It is the most adorable jumping spider. I'm having such a hard time finding one. Everybody says they'll be out in your garden and I'm not in my garden looking every day and I never get to find a jumping spider. I guess I'm not looking hard enough. Wish me luck
that kind of spider is sooo common in the Philippines we also called it "derby spider" cause many kids her in the Philippines buy that kind of derby spider and put 2 derby spider in a stick just watch the two(2) derby spider to fight
Notice the "horns" on its abdomin. Its not as pronounced, but it is there. Araneus Angulatus?
I've handled orb weavers, as a hobby to capture them. I find the best way to handle them is to either let them onto your hand, then closing your hand without making a tight fist. Leave an opening with your thumb and index finger, the reason for this is because they may bite. However, there is a way to prevent that. Blow gently into the opening and this will trigger the arachnid to curve into a ball. Its a natural behavior in the wild. When the wind blows, its their instinctive reaction. Also, Orb weavers surf the wind by letting out a thread and be carried into their potential next home. I find that its the best way to handle them without causing harm. Besides, even if they bite you, their venom isn't potent as black widows or other arachnids. That is, if they do decide to inject. Most are dry bites as a defensive tactic.
I know because I use to live in the Philippines, and there's many things there that are frowned upon if you're an animal lover. Hopefully, that's no longer the case.
Yeah i have alot of them
Spider fight lang ang malakas
Thanks man, you’ve made me adore spiders now.
Kiwi is a hunting spider, maybe it would be better to release an injured roach (or some other insect that cannot burrow) into her enclosure and give her some exercise?
I love that you add in native true spiders into the mix
We have those same spiders in Albert Canada. They can get very big..and they do bite..and if they fall from a high web ,the body cracks and she will die.. so if i see one this summer,I will definitely send you a picture...they are beautiful spiders but moody..lol
Hello ! Your areanus angulatus may try to bite you but her fangs are just too weak to pierce through your skin, I use to manipulate these kind of spiders, one day holding one in my hand I noticed that she was holding on my finger using only her fangs and I didn't even noticed that she was bitting me (at least trying to) ^^
Araneus angulatus - The species is classified in category 3 ("endangered") of the Red List.
Last time I was this early I still had a Brachypelma 🤣
In Denmark we call them kors edderkopper or the English version cross spiders, they are actually related to the black widow spider and the redback spider
Woo! So many fun updates today. Im certainly glad kiwi is doing ok.
She’s beautiful. When I got married there was a white orb weaver this size at our venue. She was incredible as is this girl.
You can blow on the orb weavers to make them calm/sleep. We used to do that all the time here in the Philippines
That's what we usually try to find and rule the spider derby from where I'm from
