- A few people on Reddit on /r/Spiders wanted me to make a video of how I pick up Garden Spiders from their webs. Here's how I do it.

I cant believe you knew that spider ever since its childhood, you guys must have a big relationship :)
They live about 6 months outside of the eggsac, and don't get close to this big until late summer/early fall. So it makes sense that he's been working with this spider since it was a 'baby'.
@@epp2161I just took in a sling,she’s doing well and eating like a pig.
I love how he treats her;very respecful.

Unlike every other person on the planet he doesn't even destroy the web picking when them up.
That was a pleasant surprise
Awesome 🤩
@Jul Ian Fuck you I'll respect those creatures. Don't even care. They deserve respect.
@JulIan.6-13-02 you can apply respect to them, they don't understand but you do, as you being a sentient creature, you should know it
These things are so massive yet it's hard to spot them initially. I almost walked right into one of their webs on a walk
Were you scared? Even though they're really helpful? Not trying to be a trolling dickhead. Generally curious.
Absolutely beautiful spider. I used to have arachnophobia for most of my life, but recently I have begun to appreciate them for what they do and what they are. Good on you for showing that there is nothing to fear from these wonderful creatures!
YOU ARE EXTREMELY BRAVE!!! This is completely terrifying to me;
@Garden Glow Amen! I have one living on the corner of my house as I leave this. I'm usually known as the Spidernator but I've allowed this one to live since her web is not in my way in any way shape or form. She picked a good spot too, we have a huge light above our garage that stays on like a street light 24/7 so, endless supply of bugs and everything else she could want to eat.
The spider is so cute
Thank you Kenneth. I just encountered one of these for the first time while I was attempting to let my dog out.
She had made a beautiful web across my deck. She was right where I needed to let my dog out.
I took a few pictures to identify her and find out how to move her without killing her. Everyone said to just pick her up with my hand and move her. Well, that wasn't going to happen because I'm afraid of spiders. I'm not so afraid that I'll kill them, but I do move them away from me.
I watched your video and appreciated your calm demeanor and obvious admiration toward the spider in your yard. It inspired a plan in me.
I gently scooped her up in a small, open toy bin. She sat in the bin, a bit shocked, but unharmed. I walked slowly and carefully with the bin, talking to her the entire time. I took her to a nice area in my yard with trees, plants, and little traffic. My dog, son, and husband don't walk in this area. I only walk in the area from time to time to give my property my love.
I carefully put the bin down to where she could easily walk forward and straight out of it. She was amazingly calm the entire time. Obviously, she was scared because she did not know if I was friend or foe, but she waited to see what would happen without totally panicking.
I put the bin down by a nice area where she can spin a new web. I just left the bin, so she can crawl out when she is ready.
I felt bad breaking her web, but it (and she) was smack dab in the middle of where my son's and dog's head would be when they went out to play. Will she be able to build a new web in the new area? She obviously built the first one quickly because it wasn't there last night.
Damaris Goetze I would have said ok doggie we are taking a new route today lol
I realize that this is an old post, but yes, she would have been able to build a new web soon.
This will find you 4 years later, but thank you for being kind to that orb weaver. I’m sure she made a new web that evening… And I’d like to think that generations of her offspring are keeping your property free of harmful pests with their big, beautiful webs.
lmao talking to a spider wth
its really cute how shes very comfortable with you like that.
WHAT A PRETTY GIRL!!!
That's the largest garden spider I have ever seen, looks like you've been feeding her good.
It is indeed a very large garden spider. I had a very bad experience with garden spiders when I was a young teen.
Well. feeding her well.
@@atlantic_love why??
One of my favorite spiders. So sweet and basically blind. They feel their way around their web and the vibrations to grab their prey. Love watching them sit in the middle of their web.
They are awesome I have a huge one next to me right now on my balcony and this thing made me want to look up what it was haha
The way you handle that spider makes me want to drink a beer with it that’s awesome how you build a relationship with the spider I’ve run into a couple my self but since I don’t have the guts to handle them I just let them be
how beautiful, I wish I had the opportunity to form a bond with my yellow & black beauty
I tell you what, and what might even be better to bond with as far as spiders go, jumping spiders are super...personable (for a lack of a better term). They're almost friendly and I believe they actually remember encounters with people. Every spring I find a few around my porch and interact with them. Pick them up, make sure they see me, put them back. I've even had some of them approach me. It's probably just in my mind, but I think they actually remember and, dare I say, enjoy being around me. Super neat little creatures and they seem to have different personalities also.
Awwww,this is 5 years old,but,I’ve still got to say “ you are DARLING that you play gently with spiders!.....awwww...
Most people kill them i usually leave them alone
He out here taming the spiders. I'm healing from my deep fear. I'm grateful for these videos they are really helping me. I don't kill spider's anymore. And I let them be hoping they respect me. So far so good.
found one, 1/2 that size crawling across the gravel at work, i was mind blown by the silver on her and picked it up. the boys were looking worried saying "those are poisonous bro", i didn't think so, but it did have its front legs up ready to fight me. cant say i wasnt a little bit intimidated by my first encounter with these guys
Only wandering spiders really do the front arm thing...
whats a wandering spider?
It's a Brazilian spider that somtimes hides in banana bunches and when threatened lifts its front legs.
It's native to north america area
Painted Minx HEEBIE JEEBIES BROS!!!!
My favorite spider.I'm in love.
That thing is the biggest orb weaver I've ever seen!!! The first time I saw one of these I was in a new state and was convinced it was poisonous because of that color but no apparently they're just big ole menacing garden spiders...emphasis on menacing eek goosebumps!!
Great video! She's beautiful.
Just like you!
dm0ney182 Thank you hahaha
This video is making me rethink my hatred towards these spiders.
Argiopes are really cool...most orb weaving species are. I think it’s because their predators are things like birds, etc. If they’re gonna eaten, it’s just gonna be “CHOMP, done”...so huge, slow moving animals like humans don’t really register as much of a threat. “This warm tree is moving around...that’s weird...where did my web go?”
Aw, it’s very sweet how comfortable you are with each other.
That is the BIGGEST yellow garden spider I've ever seen!
She's impressive, a great spider to have in the garden.
There was two of them in my neighbors yard and both my mom and the neighbor was absolutely freaked out. Both are deathly afraid of spiders so I ended up moving both of them to a new spot near a trail I lived near. I put them in slightly separate locations because I didn't know if they would attack each other at the time. They looked q bit different, though about the same size. Almost had a cigar-esc look about them
So relieving to see a comment section of a spider-related video that isn't a bunch of people going "kIlL iT wItH fIrE!"
Omg I wouldn’t go anywhere NEAR that spider and you just pick it up?! Amazing
Oh my God they're huge!! And so adorable!
Hi I’m bleach and I lost on roblox but I am happy
i've been handling these garden spiders my whole life, they are harmless but actually do a lot of good. Think, Charlotte's web, that's the kind these are. My most favorite spider though is Phidippus audax, the black and white jumping spider with the bright green fangs. They are fun to play with, trap one in between your patio doors with a bunch of house flies and watch them stalk and kill each in a matter of hours.
I saw a giant one in my front lawn on a big web going from the bottom of the roof to the grass It was m first time seeing one so i screamed on the inside💀
We have many of these up in Ocala Florida. I always see them on the Santos trail and have wanted to hold one. This is a nice video :)
This proves respect the animal, and the animal will respect you
OK, this is going to sound strange, (even to me, I'm normally frightened of spiders!), but we have one of these ladies hanging about our front porch. Always in the same spot, and, frankly, she's grown on us. Now the weather is turning and I feel sorry for the poor thing. Is it possible for them to survive the winter? (I'm strongly doubting it but..)
Or, if she can't, would it be silly to try to bring her inside to live somewhere VERY contained for the winter and let her loose again in the spring? No idea how long their life span is but....
Katharine Erskine The females usually die at the first hard frost so they have a short life span but if they are in a environment where it doesn't get down in those temperatures and they're fed throughout that time; it is possible for them to live for a few years. So it's not such a silly idea afterall :)
Cool! Love big spisers!🤗 I bet the first time putting your hands in there to pick 'er up was a bit intimidating!
Very beautiful spiders, but how long must you interact with them without them feeling threatened? The only contact I make with them is feeding
Killer Insanity That part all depends on the individual spider I believe but, I have found if I fed them daily or every so often and occasionally walk around their web they would start to feel less threatened by me.
@@KennethGisi She's beautiful! I have an immature female for an inside pet. She lives in a 5 gallon aquarium. I'm going to get her a male when she's mature. I actually know where there's 2 other immature females and when I see males in their webs I'm gonna steal 1 or 2 to breed my female with. I've seen up to 7 males in a females web before and stealing 1 or 2 won't make a difference. I have 31 years experience keeping reptiles, amphibians and arachnids. I love garden spiders but its a pity their lifespan is short.
Balls of brass this guy has.
I can’t even watch this without peeing a little
Beautiful spider
Spider: good day to you sir.
thats beautiful i have one on my pine tree it got a little bigger but i didnt know they got that big
That is the biggest one I've ever seen what a beauty.
Hell nawwww, to the naw naw nawww!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!
John garst 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 im rolling
Hell yaw to the yaw yawwwwww
You fine daddy
We have the mcuh smaller Hertz orb weaver garden spiders all around my area. They are very neat to watch but i wish we had these larger yellow orb weavers here.
Great video! Miss my garden spider.
I have never seen one that big!!
So cool!!! She is so beautiful!!!
Wow that one is HUGE! We have plenty of them around here, but they don't get anywhere near that big. Half that size or less.
AIN'T NO WAY!!!
that is the absolute most monstrous argiope i've ever seen, it's weird when an insect is so big it has noticeable weight to it
Beautiful 🕷!
I honestly have arachnophobia but that’s a beautiful spider. I hope I could befriend such a creature one day
Wow she’s huge! I used to throw them grasshoppers when I worked in a salvage yard
Shes a cutie pie...lets call her Penelope
Nice Spider!!
I've never seen a spider like that before and I'm in my 60's.
you haven't been to a garden for the entire 60 years?
@@automachinehead Of course I've been in gardens, I even have a good sized one and no, I have never seen one! Hummingbird moths, salamanders and insanely huge snails, but never a y&b! Would living on the Canadian border have something to do with that?
In the year 98 as an 8 year old kid. I was riding my back when I ran into the web of this massive orb weaver. I was so terrified of these spiders before. I cried for an hour.
shes so beatiful
That’s beautiful
Very cool. I saw one similar but the legs are yellow/black and a strange looking yellow/white sac on back in my tall grass, appears very smart, but did not pick her up!
Awesome bro!
Orb weavers are gentle giants tbh
She's a good size wow. I keep 10 different species of tarantula an a couple true spiders as well. We have these here in Ontario I just haven't found one yet. When I do I'll be adding it to my collection.
I wish those beauties lived where I live
Awesome spiders, we get the golden orb webs down here is South Africa, they are slightly smaller than those ones but just as calm. Their webs are something to behold, when the light catches them they glow bright golden. So beautiful. And the web itself is incredibly strong. 9x the strength of steel the same thickness!!! Sadly, birds love to eat them so unless they build their webs in hard to reach places they usually don't survive. Some summers I hardly see any and then occasionally there will be a population explosion. Been a couple of years since I have seen any however.
Beautiful
Woow.... Its beautiful
And she'll grab-a hode.
Used to handle these things all the time as a kid. Once had 4 crawling all over me while I rode my bike back home to place them around the house.
one was right on my fence outside the door. beautiful zig zag made. unfortunately my nan made me kill it but it inspired me to be nice to these beautiful spiders.
HELLLLLL NOOOO... your the kinda person that pics up big creepy spiders while im the kinda person that sees a spider in his bedroom and ends up sleeping in the living room for several months
Ok...
How sweet!
beautiful
balls of steel
I’m not afraid of spiders, in fact I find them gorgeous, and I leave them alone.
I have a nice spider bro too that I'm keeping an eye on
How did you do that without messing up her web? We had one and I wanted to hold her so bad but I didn’t want to scare her off. My husband moved the tomato plant to cut the grass and disturbed her web and she went off. We loved talking to her everyday. You make that look so easy!!
Its like he has a pet garden spider ❤. Treated very well and noticed that she's really fat from eating well or just pregnant
Thank you for being so friendly and humane. Most people just want to kill spiders.
I walked into the web of one of these 10 minutes ago and damn near had a heart attack
Is this an Argiope aurantia? We had a lot of Argiope bruennichi over here last year and I thought those were huge. Man how wrong i was. YOUR are HUGE and so beautiful. I am still a little nervous when it comes to big spiders. Just managed to handle a big european house spider (Tegenaria Atrica) a few months ago. I am always a bit nervous when it comes to Orb Wever, because some of them are known for being prettty aggressiv. But your girl looks really calm and god is she beautiful. I envy you for having this beautiful girl around you :)
Love them thanks
We don't have garden orb weavers that big in Ireland. They are about half the size at the biggest. Ours range from dark brown to orange and have a white cross on their abdomen. I was sitting on a public bench one time minding my own business on social media apps on my phone when all of a sudden I saw an orange one seemingly crawling through thin air towards me from a nearby flowering bush. She crawled on to my hand. I must have been very still for quite a while that she thought to use me as an anchor point for a thread. After observing her for a while she crawled back to the bush and I walked away in case she cast another thread and not ruin any attempt to start a web.
amazing
Love this beauty
She’s just chillin...
She's beautiful!! i also have a garden spider who just laid eggs!!
Her name is Orb UwU i hope she doesn't die soon tho, i liked her as a pet
You can come over to my house and pick up "ALL" the spiders you want, and keep them!!!
Love these spiders!
What a beauty
She's beautiful.
SHE IS SOOOO CUTE!!!
😳 that spider was so much bigger than I expected. Thank god we don't have them where I live. I thought the European house spider was big but that one.... nope nope nope
Too cool!
Tbh, for me, these spiders are scarier than tarantulas
And now you ALL know how spider man was created
Fun fact this is one of the top 15 most gentle spiders and is unlikely to bite you. Only way they bit is if you squeeze them or wiggle your toes like free mini hotdogs
Shes a very healthy spider
Wow so big 🕷
That was a fatty. I love arachnids. Had a black widow for around 8 years until I moved. I left her in her home. She would get so excited when I fed her. I've held jumping spiders, they are very intellegent and have great eye sight.
Wow, didn't know they can get THAT big! =)
I love feeding them there my out side pets
We get those around here. They grow and grow until they attract the attention of a hungry blackbird and then we're short on spiders again.
