The purple bloom birdeater is one of the most beautiful species of tarantulas, and is a popular pet... but how common are they in the wild? I've been looking all around Ecuador hoping to finally come across one of these giant, vibrant spiders, but no luck. Finally, we have a strong lead and some help in our search. Will we catch a purple bloom?

Here at MyWildBackyard we investigate the secrets of the natural world- secrets that can be hidden in our very own backyards! I want to share the incredible world of insects, spiders and other wildlife with you and inspire you to explore your curiosity. Get out there, and find your adventure!
For those who read the description- we've updated the channel! I'm working on adding more features to videos to better expand our conversations about the secrets we find in the natural world! Introducing the Creature Tier System! There are four rankings:
1. Staple - These are the lowest tier creatures. They are the most common species in a given habitat, and while they're not boring, they're really only exciting when you're exploring a new habitat and you haven't seen them before. Not something to write home about.
2. Neat - These are a step up from Staple. They don't make your entire day, but they are worth taking a closer look at when found. Definitely can be exciting to have a productive day finding many Neat species.
3. Wild - These are exciting to find. Whether they have interesting defensive features that offer a nice challenge in the field, are particularly cool looking, or maybe a little bit rare, Wild species aren't necessarily the MOST memorable of encounters, but they definitely make your day when you see them. An adventure featuring many Wild species will truly be memorable.
4. Gem - These are special. Usually involving extremely interesting biology and significant rarity, Gem species are animals that you really do not see every day. These species can make your whole adventure, and will be very memorable.

What crazy spiders should we go after next?
You know what I'm going to say haha
Ok but in all seriousness if you’re ever in Australia, we gotta find a tiger huntsman.
Pokies!
Campina Grande Salmon Pink Bird Eater...2nd largest species. I got mine when she was the dime sized and she quickly grew into a beautiful girl. She was easily as heavy as my Goliath with close to the same leg span and lived 14 yrs. As an adult, she would eat only full grown live mice. She was an expert at getting them thru the skull and neck. Probably my favorite species.
Usambora
Missulena aka Mouse Spider in Australia? I recently learned about them and they’ve got some mean looking fangs.
Or something native to Texas so I might run into you guys!
Tarantula goes home." Honey you wont believe what happened to me tonight."
Lol you’re not wrong 😂😂
Nah, honey would of eaten him.
Hahahaha FR!
@@War_pig69420 *would have
I am being that guy, yes.
@@IVPixel Thank you for your service.
I’ve had a horrible case of arachnophobia my entire life. It got so bad at one point that I would actually faint at the sight of ANY spider 🕷️. That made life miserable, so I began a long process of learning about spiders in hopes that I would at the least get better. I have watched 1,000s of hours of videos made by reputable tarantula hobbyists and scientists. Since then, I can actually stand back and admire these creatures. Programs like yours only help. I don’t care to be surprised by them, and couldn’t be “up close and personal yet “, but I am fascinated now. Who knows what the future may bring? Y’all have a blessed day!
That's awesome,god bless you👍
Start keeping jumping spiders, I was in the same situation and did the same thing then began keeping jumping spiders of all kinds. Now I really don't have a fear of any spiders. I am within 4 feet of about 400 spiders and 1200 within 15 feet because 3 of my female jumpers had several egg sacks hatch this year so I have 1/3rd right next to me in the room I'm in now and the rest in the room I sleep in next door. I absolutely love jumping spiders now and have about a dozen other species I plan to get once we move to our new house. I want to get a few huntsman spiders, 2 six eyed sand spiders, a bunch of velvet spiders, and there are several tarantula species I want to get as well.
Knowledge truly is the best way to overcome a fear of something. It sounds like your phobia was pretty severe-I admire you for taking the time to learn and striving to overcome it.
Keep trying, most people don’t. Spiders are amazing creatures 😊
Jumping spiders... Get a lucas
Ok, I thought AZ had some big colorful tarantulas, but that? That was amazing. The mtn crabs? Get out. Ecuador has some insanely interesting critters, to put it mildly.
Yeah dude I’d love to see your reaction to herping out there! Snakes are a bit tougher to come by, but just being immersed in the biodiversity is incredible. You and Nick would love the cloud forest, dry forest is hit or miss. Cerro Blanco (where we saw these tarantulas) is pretty good, just gotta get a good tour guide and a little bit of luck. One of our outings here a different tour group came across one of the Ecuadorian coral snakes. We didn’t get to see it unfortunately but just goes to show how fleeting the encounters are!
@@MyWildBackyard It's on the bucketlist.
This is such a beauty.
A gentle giant indeed.
You have my highest respect for handling these creatures with love and care, even lowering your voice to not stress them out further.
Such a treat to watch these videos.
What an awesome find you guys did.
It was unreal. Honestly I’d kinda given up till Rex spotted that one. Lot of work, glad to be home, but can’t say I don’t look fondly on our finds in Ecuador
Not only do I respect the spider, but the dude with the cajones to handle it!
Dude the gold tarantula was HUGE! And the colors on the purple bloom were appropriately breathtaking. I liked the time sensitive nature of the adventure also, it felt like spider mission impossible haha. Great work!
Mission impossible! It felt that way for sure. I know we film stuff outta order sometimes, but we literally got close to the wire on this one. I wasn’t sure we were gonna see an adult purple till rex went to check those rocks!
Documentaries like this are important for chronic arachniphobes like me.
I'd love to see a video on jumping spiders. 😊
Look at the grammostola pulchra =) They are huge and friendly
My cousin has a baby female purple bloom tarantula in captivity! She’s beautiful! She has a perfect star on her back haha. She got it at a spider show! You would have a field day at my cousins house! Genuinely an amazing place to be!
Obviously it isn’t a wild purple bloom. There is a difference in rarity considering wild ones are crazy rare to find!
Pamphobeteus species are actually widely available now, its only the males that display the color usually but the females are a rather large spider. Pamphobeteus are some of the largest tarantulas in the world actually, being comparable to a bird eater in size.
They are among the easiest tarantulas to breed and keep as they have great appetites, the females are massive and the males display amazing colors so its quite a nice species.
Sorry they’re so rare, me and Emelio got hungry so we went and ate some. I’m sure you understand.
I think now the question is….. when’s the Mexican red-knee tarantula hunt happening? 🤔
Soon as we get to Mexico!
Thats got to be the most beautiful spider in the world!
I’d agree! So many amazing ones in the tropics for sure, love these things
Look up the T seladonia
nope Poecilotheria Metallica looks mutch better
That is a rather typical Pamphobeteus species, there are several of them and many arent even described yet. I have 3 Pamphobeteus in my care, it is only the males that display that color generally as the females tend to be brown or black in color though will change in color throughout their lives ive noticed.
@@MrCarponizer- Agreed. The P. Metallica is my favorite, but I don’t have one yet. I only have 12 right now, but can’t bring myself to spend $500+ for one. Sooner or later I’ll have to bite the bullet, but not yet!!!
Whoaaaa that tarantula is so pretty and my favorite color. Congrats on finding it
I'm usually terrified of spiders, but the way you talked about them in 13:24 made me tear up with emotion... They are truly fascinating creatures!
They really are! So glad to be able to share them with you!
Spencer you may not have a teaching degree,but you are a teacher,because I never knew that crabs could live in freshwater and dry areas,and that tarantula with the purple was magnificent,and I hope it's a new species so your name will be written in the annals of history for discovering a new species of 🕷️
Thanks so much man! I’d love to fully discover a new species! This one is under review, so it’s a “new” species but scientists are aware of it, my guess is it’ll get named something related to where it was found or its coloration. Closest match among described species is Pamphobeteus zaruma, but we’re not sure if this is indeed one of those. World of invertebrates sure is weird, glad I get to introduce you to it!
You can actually have these guys as pets for around usd $150-300. How hobbyists have these and it being "new to scientists" is beyond me
Mountain crabs and purple tarantulas! CRAZY! My family learns something new with every one of your videos.
This was one of your best episodes for sure.
Literally! Mountain crabs were probably the craziest find. Like we WANTED those purples don’t get me wrong, but that crab was just so WEIRD I had to include it in the video!
Well, that was worth the wait! That is, by far the most beautiful tarantula I've ever seen! Thanks so much for your educational videos!
Glad you enjoyed! Definitely a treat to finally see in the wild, this guy did not disappoint!
Poecilotheria metallica look that up if you think this T is beautiful, the one I named you'll think its breathtaking.
@@ajtaranto1989 Yeah and even that beauty isnt the most beautiful species out there, at least not in my opinion. There are many species that are incredible to look at and many of them breed readily in captivity which prevents poaching, poachers have no reason to take them from the wild if its cheaper to get a captive one anyways
I will admit, I had a real bad case of arachnophobia growing up, but I have since overcome my fear of spiders and I now plan on getting one once I move out (since my parents won’t let me keep any creepy crawlies in their house).
Great job conquering your fear! Spiders are super fun to keep once you’re able.
That tarantula was gorgeous 🤩 to say the least. What an honor for you to be able to hold him! I am so thrilled you found him and had such an amazing time in Ecuador 🇪🇨! Thank you for this awesome video, and thank you for presenting in such a compassionate and well thought out manner. You are a favorite for sure! I wish we could get more of you than once a week. Have a great Sunday!!! 😄💙🐬🐍🐊🫶🏼
Absolutely one of your best adventure docs ever man. This was such a special night for all of us, and you captured the adventure and the intensity of the mission while also getting so much genuine appreciation for the animals across. The music and overall story edit were super effective and I think this is a fantastic way to end your Ecuador series. Looking forward to sharing our tarantula video, though we might need to steal some of that killer b-roll… Amazing work man!
Lemme know if you need b roll! I’ll send away! Sorry just now getting to comments, been a busy week!
Really makes me miss my Pinkbloom Tarantula!!!
Thank you... love your speech about the big (puppy) hairy spider, despite that, my fear for spider won't disappear easily (...sadly)..
It takes time! Just be patient with yourself. Long as you can respect them as fellow life forms that’s an amazing place to start!
I’m so glad you guys found him! This has been more suspenseful than most movies I’ve watched. He’s gorgeous.
The ending message is truly heartbreaking and I wish our species could coexist with others like the rest do.
Hopefully we can. We gotta fight together to preserve the planet!
@@MyWildBackyard
Amen!!!!
Plant Milkweed!!
Theres aren't many things more panic inducing than someone loudly, firmly, quickly repeating 'dont panic'
I binge watch your show. Truly addicted.
You’ve helped me overcome my fear of spiders. I love them now! Thank you for your awesome way to show how innocent and lovely spiders are! There are so many other insects that are creepier than spiders, I help to spread the word so people stop killing them!!!! They are very necessary to keep the balance, otherwise we all be covered in other bugs, NO THANK YOU!! 💙🙏🏼🕊️
That Ecuadorian gold you held at like the 1/2 way point was a male T. He looked dope!
Beautiful my favourite colour.
Same here!
😂 lol he kept calling the Ecuadorian gold a she, in actuality it was a HE, he had tibial hooks that females don't have, meaning he was a mature male, and they don't live long after maturing.
This was so amazing, and i loved the ticking clock, it was great way to tell the story. Awesome you got this amazing animal. Sad i missed the chicken-eater in Peru
Dude, that is a *gorgeous* spider. Hopefully the hobby world lets these guys do their thing in the wild. It’s one thing to breed captive specimens. It’s a completely different matter when a rare, valuable tarantula gets hunted in the wild…which we’ve often seen in the past. Granted, things have gotten better in recent years. This might be an interesting case where, if the males are colorful and pretty, they eventually become more sought after than females…which is usually the opposite since females get larger and live longer lives. Always stoked to find out about a cool new tarantula species…always a little apprehensive about their fate upon being discovered.
it wont mate unfortunately u will see these being sold as wild caught in no time
They are already being bred now in captivity. They seem to be easy to breed.
..bro that is 100% sick ..we dont have tarantulas here in New Zealand ..but we have Katipo ..love your mate Harris comments on the juvenile tarantula
our word for crab in my language starts with "mountain". Also any animal with uv vision must see a glowing spider. Parakeet cheeks glow because its color also. Maybe its using itself as bait with its uv glow to attract birds.
Beautiful. Glad you managed to find an adult!
Thanks so much for the adventure, Master Spencer.
Glad you enjoyed man! Such a treat to finally see one. Crown jewel of Ecuador for sure.
Im always amazed at how you can catch a wild large spider and handle it just min. after being caught. and the spider acts like its nothing .
I usualy like your contents… but you disturbed the animals like no other!!! Please dont repeat that neither collect!
Wow, this is one of the most beautiful spiders I've ever seen. And so chill. I mean, there was a whole group of you, but he was just hanging out on your hand with no care in the world.
Tarantulas are known for being chill with people, that's why people love having them as pets.
But it wasn't just chill. It was trying to escape the entire time.
The little one. Big one was super easy going.
14:10: And keep breeding them in the hobby, so that the wild populations are left in peace.
I have such a horrible aversion to the creepy crawly world under our own. But this....this is utterly fascinating, and is such a wonderful way of learning about the things that terrify me. Thank you SO MUCH for doing this and sharing it with the world.
I'm quite positive a few of those large brown females were Pamphobeteus sp Machala mature females.
looks identical to my mature male pamphobeteus sp machala. not sure about new species lol.
Haven't watched the video yet, but back when I kept tarantulas (10+ years ago), Xenesthis immanis (which I assume you're after) was a MINIMUM of $500 USD for a captive bred sling. I'm rootin' for ya!
I’d love to see Xenethis one day. Those guys are from Colombia though, this one is an undescribed species in the genus Pamphobeteus!
Love your channel man . Thanks for doing a great work.
Cheers from sweden
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying!
This species is already in the pet trade, or so from what I've seen and came across.
I had no idea they could have Purple/Pink fur... my favourite has been the Lapis furred Tarantula for a long time... I think that has now changed...
Turn down the saturation and it's not really that purple, look at color of hands.
When I'm about to panic, what I want to hear is "DONT PANIC DONT PANIC DONT PANIC!!!"
😂😂
Great video, thanks for seaching out these beautiful animals in their wild habiat for us, this is much realer then just having them in an enclosure.
Such an awesome channel glad I got in relatively early…
[3:32] Out of curiosity, Spencer, when you find the mountain crab and point out how "she's bubblin' a little bit," what exactly are we looking at? And what does that signify?
It wasn’t a great b roll shot, but you can see if you zoom in on her face there are little bubbles in the front. Basically, crabs have gills and need to absorb oxygen from water to breathe. The bubbling is sorta like frothing the water they’re carrying next to their gills to oxygenate it and circulate it through so they can breathe effectively!
so sad, that only the males have these bright pink color
I love your videos. Thanks for showing people, willing to understand, what they have been missing.
The Ecuadorian Gold *may* take heavy Fall Damage, but I've found that its Magic and Charisma stats far outweigh it. Heavily recommended for big raids, or just being a good support for the team.
😂
Top quality educational content. Teach people to respect and understand not fear or kill.
If you want to find unique spiders come to northern Australia they just found 5 new species up here with many more still expected to be undiscovered.
Hey I can’t wait to get down there! That day is coming!
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. Everything is so well done, even the self promo at the end was executed perfectly.
Thank you so much! I do have to throw the little self promos in there, helps keep the channel running smoothly. If it were up to me and not the TH-cam algorithm I’d throw things like that out entirely!
@@MyWildBackyard Hey man, if someone enjoyed this video they'll probably enjoy that video, you just need to convince them of it so they can figure that out!
Only the male have that purple coloration
One of my favorites in coloration, love the variety tarantulas have.
I remember learning about the jewel tarantula in a book when I was a kid, watching a nature doc I learned about the Blue Steel tarantula, then you sent me the family pamphobeteus which has every color in the rainbow.
Spiders will never stop amazing me
They really are something else. Once you get past fear the world truly is a rich and fascinating place
That was a really beautiful spider 🕷️. That's crazy that's coming from me but the purple was magnificent. It must have looked unreal in person. Thanks for such a cool video. I really look forward to Saturday night videos
They’re about to get crazier! Arizona adventures coming soon!
They are the best looking tarantulas IMO, you're getting near 100K subs.
We’re so close! It’s insane! So hype dude!
Maybe they are like cardinal birds. The males are brightly colored because they are the decoys?
That could be!
Both those big spiders you guys manage to find our mature males. They have their hooks unfortunately most of the time the females lose that beautiful purple color when they mature I never seen one in the wild but I have one in my spider room. Amazing video.
You should've continue watching because he explained this
I don't know if anyone notice but at 13:11 there is a small moth landing on his chest and it went silence like be one with nature and the when he speaks flying away. Beautiful moments
Some beautiful wildlife. Never knew crabs could live so far inland like that. Really adorable crab. You handled that gold tarantula so gracefully, they just walked into your hands omg. That guy describing the juvenile purple tarantula seems really knowledgeable, do they have a TH-cam channel? That adult is BEAUTIFUL!!! It acted so calm like a wolf spider, but way slower.
www.youtube.com/@TheWildlifeBrothers
They do have a channel, The Wildlife Brothers
@@twinceptionproductions6083 oh neat
Dude how do you only have 100k subs. Been watching your videos for a few days and only just looked, I assumed with the quality and effort you would be at least 1 mil! Tragically underrated! Awesome work, keep it up. This video was amazing, I had no idea this spider existed. Thank you for all the hard work you do to share these experiences and raise awareness.
Hey I’m glad to share! Channel is definitely growing, but honestly I’m just super grateful to be able to make videos about the awesome creatures I love seeing, and even the audience we’ve got so far has helped me to go on trips like this one to see the purple bloom! Really incredible stuff, thanks so much for your support. And don’t worry- you’re here early 😉
You can do this with new world species, but I wouldn’t recommend this with an old world species, such as ANY Baboon species. Not only are they telepathically fast, they also pack a more serious bite. You’re not going to die, but you WILL be in pain!!!!
That tarantula looked like a kitten wanting to curl up and sleep in your hand.
Subbed. I used to own Tarantulas and the whole “been there” “done that” hobby but still enjoy watching and learning about (possible) new species. Keep it up buddy. 🤙🏽
That is SUCH an awesome spider! And your vids bring me back to the days I'd watch Deadly 60 after school. Those were some good times...
I’ve been trying to replicate their style a bit! Really see it in the compilation-style stuff here and there. Hard work is payin off! Thanks man!
5:07 Are those warrior wasps!? I have no idea if you’ll see this comment since it’s from an older video but omg they’re one of the coolest Hymenopterans out there!!!
They sure are! I actually shot a segment with them that didn’t make the final cut of any of the Ecuador videos! We weren’t sure what angle to take with them so it didn’t turn out too great. We loved the shots so we decided to keep those
@@MyWildBackyard Ah okay interesting!! Thanks for the info, idk how well wasp videos do for you but if they do well then that’s absolutely something I’d love to see, keep up the great work!!
To be honest it’s kind of frustrating that coyote Peterson is huge and this channel isn’t.
Wow Fantastic Spencer!! That guy's beautiful, and so great to see your passion for these special creatures 🙏 (I'll even forgive you for the heart-rending music soundtrack for that bit!... 😄). 😇 Bobby 🐭
You guys should do a special on the spiders from the movie Arachnophobia... If I can remember they actually did base the movie on a real spider of South America and I do remember seeing a news clip of showing the spider on video when the movie was made and being put out in public
I REALLY REALLY appreciate your hard work I fell in love with tarantulas when I was ten years old poor creatures the females scurrying down thier burrows they are so divine I wish there were so many more of them I didn’t know females can live decades vs short lived males these creatures must be protected at all costs and pet trade eliminated. Born free or 💀. 😢😢🌍
You can tell by the size of the abdomen that Gold Tarantula was ready for a meal. Are you ever worried they might be more prone to bite when hungry and out hunting? I know she doesn't equate you with prey, but still. Awesome stuff. The Purple Bloom Birdeater almost sounds like a cryptid. But you found a beautiful one. Congrats! You seem to have a knack for knowing what other cool critters to show us, like the mountain crab. I never would have thought to see a crab in that environment.
It was probably a bit dehydrated, but being a mature male they tend to be quite skinny regardless.
So to address the food question first, I’d say probably not. They need that venom for their food, and if they don’t save it they may not have any when actual prey wanders by. So a hungry spider is likely a less aggressive spider!
Honestly it’s kinda the beauty of TH-cam- I notice stuff in the environment that I think is cool, and I do my best to share it. Having an audience that thinks the same things are cool means they see it and are like HEY THATS REALLY COOL! 😂 Gotta love the internet for that. Really a beautiful thing.
Man I absolutely love tarantulas... Here in Cape Town, it's unfortunately illegal to keep them. Luckily for my wife though. Hahahaha
Hey I’m a big man but if that giant fanged devil 👿 got on me!!!! Ide scream 😱 like a girl ,,,,,,, seriously,,,,,,,,,,,😮
I have arachnophobia but find tarantulas really cool and kinda cute
I have a neon pink bird eater.
She just molted less than a month ago I was able to confirm her sex, Happy to say she is a confirmed female. She looks pretty much just like the purple bloom bird eater.
She’s a 🌶️Spicy girl.
The thought of walking through a tropical forest at night, in the dark just to find a spider gives me a panic attack just THINKING about it! I wish i wasn't so terrified by spiders.. but i am. Except for jumping spiders and Wolf spiders. I would NEVER hold a Wolfie but i WOULD hold a jumping spider. They are adorable
The T is GORGEOUS, you guys MIGHT need a little practice on collecting them!! 😁 LOL 🕷️ I say this with LOVE bro.❤❤❤
1:01-1:03 oh my god what is that thing????? It looks so cool????? looks like a many-legged caterpillar with snail eyestalks, i love it
A few species of spiders and tarantulas are already endangered, but dont hate the tarantula keepers, they care and breed them captivley, and someday, we may only know some species because of keepers, and that's sad.
Yet another I've had in my collection. My wife bought it for me in 1994. I'm still looking for my BWS in my garage. It's tough finding stuff anfter moving.
Tarantulas have retractable claws on the tip of each leg, that’s both arboreal, terrestrial, and fossorial. They’re fascinating. Also the Ecuadorean gold you picked up was a male due to the tibial hooks and the “boxing gloves” pedipalps. Love your content.
Those tarantulas that you guys caught are boys
This is correct. I misidentified the gold one in the field but in post I can see the definitive anatomy
"Most beautiful spiders on the planet" is an oxymoron. "Beautiful" and "spider" should NEVER be used in the same sentence! *Shivers* 😬😆
Usually I’m creeped out and stay away from spiders like this, big bulky hairy spiders. But that has got to be one of the most beautiful animals I’ve ever seen, the entire time it was shown on screen I just looked in awe. Truly a beautiful spider
I'll say this.i used to work in the oilfield in New mexico and there is a place up off road 360 and curry comb up by the old brine water station that fell in years ago(western side) but I have seen tarantulas as big as the ones in your video,matter of fact the biggest one in my life from leg tip to leg tip was as wide as my peterbilt step and that's just over 7inches
Insect behavioral psychology is one of my favorite things ngl , i believe all being think like we do but are severely limeted with a lack of knowledge in science and etc , however they know thier place on earth and how important they are def , plus thier very short lives is definitely a limitation to how much knowledge they can obtain
Stuff like this is entertaining
From you wich i just found as of this comment (from the wolf spider video) and well you
Ants canada , and brave wilderness i appreciate yalls alot for educating kids on insects, hopefully we can see some aliens or something wierd and unexpected in the future
FOR SCIENCE!! OooO00
Amazing video as usual! I’m glad the tarantula hobby has gotten captive-bred Purple Bloom slings pretty established, I would be devastated to see them disappear entirely from this world. I adore the Pamphobeteus genus
They’re amazing. I do love seeing the captive breeding working well. Not a fan of capturing wild adults though
@@MyWildBackyard Oh absolutely, I’m very against capturing wild adults. Can’t support any dealers who partake in that
That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! 😍
Please make a video about Funnel Web spiders. Like Agelena labyrinthica.
Thanks Spencer ❤❤❤❤ keeping you in my prayers for safe travels and good health always
"Once they calm down, they're actually sweethearts"
No. They've exhausted themselves and are simply recuperating. They are not docile but conservative of their resources.
I’m really enjoying your videos. The Wolf spider and this were awesome. Keep it up. I’m learning to overcome some fear here I have of them. Blame Arachnophobia the movie I shouldn’t have watched as a kid but that’s the root cause I think. I don’t kill or hurt spiders I just go the other way or relocate them.
Come home one night from work when I lived on lake Tobo in Macon Ga to a massive Wolf spider in the bathtub. I had zero idea how it got there but the thing was pushing large Tarantula size. I didn’t know you could handle them the way you did however, me not being a professional, and the fear that I had inside me I made the best decision to find a large piece of cardboard which it actually chilled on and I took it down by the water and let it go by a tree. The entire time the wifey asking me to kill it and I told her hell no, all the fear I was going through and my adrenaline pumping I found a weird fascination with it and respected it. Set em free don’t kill them.
Fun video👌🏼..I have a Pamphobeteus sp. Tigris(captive bred) sling. Also known as “Ecuadorian black birdeater” “midnight black birdeater”. Can’t wait to see the colors as it matures 😊
6.20 That's a male tarantula, not female. He has larger bulbs on his frontal peds and hooks. The small abdomen and thinner legs made me look closer.
11.45 That's another male. Same specs..... It must be breeding season.
In Brazil and French New Guinea is the Tapinauchenius violaceus (Purple Tree Spider), and arboreal tarantula. Another Equadorean purple tarantula is the Avicularia Purpurea, that is an intense bright purple with pink toes.
All im wondering is what that gummy/fluffy looking centipede is near the start of the video.
It's a shiny pokemon irl. Treasure it. ❤🎉 Didn't know spiders could be that color. Probably the first time I've seen a spider with bright colors to attract mates. Usually that's a trait exclusive to birds.
Find the goody sapphire tarantula in India
I want to! One day!
I've always liked spiders. When I was a kid we had this huge garden spider that made her web on our porch. I had to battle my mom to keep her from killing it. (She called it a "zipper spider"). Ever since then I've been fascinated by spiders.
