Bruh I'm literally abouta binge watch all of your vids
that's been my last few days homie
@@thalaquatics8712 Same, I’ve been watching all of his videos lately.
i started from beginning yesterday and here I am my vacation clearly is lazy sitting back watching him XD
I'm doing the same thing
One of the hidden gems of enjoyable information on TH-cam. Get to not only see these animals and how to set up enclosures for them and care for them, but also see them out in their natural habitat.
And let’s be real, there aren’t many people in the whole world who so passively handle centipedes, scorpions, spiders, etc. He gets bit and he’s usually just like…oh well. 😄 Love it.
“Scientifically, they have a big butt” lmfao
This guy is crazy but I love him so much I watch him with my son and my sadly passed daughter
Thank you sir, very entertaining.
I am most sincerely sorry about your loss, Tim. Glad that you and your son are enjoying the content.
Thank you general means a lot. Have a great weekend.
Very sorry for your loss, sir. 🙏🏻
Im so sorry for your loss.
aaaah im in love with your films!!
you cut out all of the fat and you have the perfect blend of scientific terminology and layman terms!
your passion for critters is genuinely inspiring.
when i was a kid, i imagined my adult life just like yours in these videos - studying insects and just hanging out with them. eventually i went into filmmaking but my love for insects still persists.
cheers!
Thank you so much. That’s the style I aim for. It’s always great to hear about people like yourself who never lost their interest in bugs despite the career they wound up choosing. :D
The pitter-patter sounds made when you timelapse while using your pickaxe to dig up hard detritus is so very, very satisfying to my soul.
Wow you must have a really good eye! Insane how you can find the doors so easily
This is such a cool video !! Thank you for handling spiders gently and showing us cool bugs ((:
Thank you. :D
I grew up in West Michigan. There was only one trap door spider I'd ever seen and she wanted to be left alone.
Still the biggest spider I'd ever seen in that state.
Love your content. Keep it up.
You’re the Man thank you for all the hard work you do!!
:D
I thought you were fucking with me with those spiders named after celebrities. Turns out they're both named by the same menace, Jason Bond
Bond really went all out with Aptostichus; I think my favorite is Aptostichus sarlacc
Your videos make me so anxious and I love it.
00:58
That’s what those are! I found one of these in the sagebrush desert in NV and have been tying to figure out what built it! Thank you!
This video cleared up so many questions I had about the critters I grew up catching on Mt. Tamalpais in CA. I used to think those false tarantulas were wolf spiders. Used to get them in our house as the time. (Can confirm their aggression lol).
Man I love the Trapdoor spiders
it is so interesting how instinct is so ingrained in spiders minds that they can create extremely complex structures.
How do you identify the doors to their hidey holes? I wasn't able to identify one when you panned the camera for them, but you knew where they are.
I was checking out one of my new videos for comments and came across this video of yours. I have been hunting spiders for a long time (I live in Michigan) but have never come across a trap door spider of any kind! lol. How do you even spot them, the camouflaged ground caps are so amazing. We have some here in the woods and beaches of lake Michigan, but no luck for me as of yet. Love your stuff, and your handling of the scientific names of the critters you hunt and encounter. Thanks for your hunt today, knowledge and sharing the fun with us! Have a great weekend.
Thank you very much, Bob. There are specific microhabitats to search for their burrows, but aside from that, it just took me many years to train my eyes to recognize the doors. It is no easy task when just starting out. I wish you much luck. :D
@@GeneralApathy Thx for the response! Yes I well know what you're saying here! The trained eye for enjoying nature (as well as extreme patience for just being still and watching) are tools the nature enthusiast develops over time! You see things others just walk right on by. 2023 I shall FIND some trap door spiders in Michigan! If you are interested I just posted a new vid on the tiny Trashline Orbweaver. th-cam.com/video/QREksWPfHIo/w-d-xo.html Had a bit of fun doing an Alfred Hitchcock intro. lol Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Bro what type of an insect expert are u ? Can u tell about urself a little bit in the next video?
good job 👍
the sub adult was a bad ass builder
Theres trapdoor spiders named after Angelina jolie and barrack obama?
You forgot about tomicus cruzious in the south north ....
angeline jolie amodeus barack obama XD
I live in southern California and am wondering what are the best animals to keep that I can catch in the wild. Nothing too poisonous.
I recommend trying our native Aphonopelma, Scolopendra, or Hadrurus species.
@@GeneralApathy thanks
I love looking for trapdoor spiders. The obly ones i can rly find in wa nrar me is all synothele, idiosoma and euoplos species
Go for the Sydney funnel webs. That I gota see.
Just casually destroying spider homes jk😂😂
Nice!!!
Awesome 👌🏾
The biggest spider I ever saw in person was a jet black trap door spider that was just out and about bumbling around. Shit blew my mind. I did not know they lived in my area. Edit: I think it was actually a false tarantula.
You gotta make more videos !
I think I no lifed this channel im 3 months away from caught up XD started yesterday
it's tough for those spiders being clinically thicc and phat 😔
I heard Barack obomaicus and Angelina Jolie
So do these not bite? I thought trapdoors were SUPER venomous. Or am I mixing them up with Funnelwebs?
Funnel-web spiders in the family Atracidae have medically significant venom. These trapdoor spiders have relatively mild venom.
When are you going to start looking for scorpions?
I'll start looking for them in two weeks.
Are you gonna be exploring for arachnids in Sacramento anytime soon?
I'm going to go looking for a couple species that can be found east of Sacramento, but in an area closer to where I live.
You an entomologist or arachnologist?
Arachnologist. I study scorpions.
lmfao did you barack obama?
say*
Barack Obama. Angelina Jolie. Did I hear that correctly?
Apparently he’s completely serious and they’re real trapdoor spiders. There’s even an Aptostichus stephencolberti lmao.
@@tomfoolery5844 Johnny Cash, also. 🤷🏻♂️
There is also a spider named after Harrison ford bc he narrated a documentary for the scientists and made huge donations for them
@@webbyishere That’s pretty cool. I’d love a spider or any animal named after me. 😆
Are you like an Arachnologist or something or is this just a hobby
