I’ve never seen one on cam or on film. The only reason I know about them is from a spider book from the 80s! Thanks for this vid!!!
Never thought id say this but those spiders are adorable. And the babies... They made me go "awwwwe"
I've never liked spiders, millipedes, or centipedes but after binging your videos, I am fascinated! Keep up the good work.
Yeah bugs are crazy cool, but it takes a strong stomach to handle them.
love the videos man! super educational and interesting, it's cool how you'll catch and identify anything of interest you come across
Thank you, Seth. :D
What an awesome vid. I've been fascinated by spiders for many many years now. I used to be a big arachnophobe but got rid of my fear by exposure through videos on youtube just like yours. I live in Sweden, which I thought didn't have any tarantulas at all, but when I found out about the Atypus genus I was excited to find some videos of these spiders. Super cool.
Thank you and good luck on your search. :D
Those huge fangs for such a small spider is so impressive. Spiders are such amazing animals.
Beautiful spiders. Cute babies. 😍
Wow, the way you cut the vid I had thought it was all in one day but knowing that it was a week of effort really makes me appreciate it even more
Literally my favorite TH-cam. Never stop posting
Thank you very much, Oliver. :)
Thanks for this video ! Some amazing footage with these spiders.
you DESTROYED their homes, you monster.
good video. i like to see bugs in the wild.
The fact that he just goes in with bare hands is nutso to me. I wonder what causes the extreme aversion some people have towards insects, and why some are completely immune to it. Blows my mind
I found some of these fascinating spiders in the late 1970s living on the Chiltern hills in England.
Thank you for another interesting video!
Insane patience to film this video over the course of a week. I could never do that and envy you
I really love these videos, they are clean and simple and no dramatic intentional bites and stings like Brave Wilderness
I use sticks to tease the spider out intsead of digging it up
they sense the vibration thinking it's prey and when the spider comes up, I pinch the tube so the spider can't go back down
This is so amazing
Vivant en France je trouve ta vidéo très intéressante et instructive !👍
Also, what else is crazy is how the trapdoor spiders make almost a perfect circle for the trapdoor. So cool.
Thank you so much, Veri informative and interesting :)
I recently acquired an adult female calommata signata. Def a very cool species.
I thought 'ballooning' (at least in tiny spiderlings) was recently found to be more about electrostatic forces than riding air currents - is that accurate at all?
Okay, i thought it was going to be a lot bigger and flipped when you went digging for it. Knowing that it's that small it seems a lot cuter.
Amazing
I’ve seen one once
This is incredibly fascinating to watch, thanks for the video, do you have any recommendations about books on spiders or insects for someone just intrigued to know more?
They are so cute.
I’m so terrified by spiders that I can’t even watch this video on full screen. I admire you for your courage
Whaaaaat???
so cute
you have a great hunter skills right there bro!
3:56 dammm 😮 those fangs are bigger than the spider itself
that is a weird spider design...
but crazy how you find the nests... o_O
Really nice channel, I've been watching all your content these days! Just a quick question: how long does it take for those spiders to build their burrows back?
You seem so careful in all the other videos about not disturbing the animals and putting them back in the same/better place you found them..
It seemed a very different approach, maybe just because it's the only way of showing us I guess 😅
Hi! I'm by no means an expert, but it is known that these spiders do have to rebuild at least part of their burrow nearly every time they feed, bc they pull their prey through it. So hopefully that means its not too energy-taxing for them.
Love your vids plz do more rehousing
Thank you. It will be a while before I publish any videos related to my collection.
@@GeneralApathy ok
perhaps i overheard it...but one of the importest things, i heard not...We call them Sackspinne...they are a part of the Birdspider family...this is the one and only Birdspider in Middleeurope.
Why did it take so long was it finding the burrows or finding occupied ones? It would be interesting to see the temperatures and humidity in the socks in comparison to the "outside" temperature
I didn’t have a hygrometer on hand, but that certainly could have been interesting to examine. Of the socks I excavated, only one was not occupied (not included in the video, of course). I believe the reason that they are abnormally tough to find here is because the available habitat is naturally quite fragmented. This video was shot in the French Alps, which is far from ideal for this species. The northern, low-elevation Atypus habitats are more suitable because they are rather contiguous, and, if they are fragmented, it’s typically by humans.
can you do the 3 part of centopides pls?
I wouldn’t blame it if it bit you! First you destroy it’s home then you poke it with a stick!
Nice video but kinda wanted to see how it catches prey through the sock...
But what do they taste like?
The part of the web you called "the sock" that looked very interesting. Do you think that could be used to catch a spark/ember?
It’s usually easier to light them with matches or just lighters. The spiders taste phenomenal after a deep roast and a bit of charring, but I have quite an exquisite palate I should add.
@@myriada4570 heal yeah, homie eat it up lol but I was just curious how that material would fare in a primitive or survival situation. I've never seen spider web look so much like cloth.
@@MysticMonkeyMiracle, in all seriousness, I don’t think spider silk would make good fire starter or tinder. Finer silk from cellar spiders and orb weavers burns quickly and rather uncontrollably-like hair. I’d imagine purseweb tubes would burn similarly…
why are they so weirdly cute.
The size of them. If they were funnel webbed size or bigger they'd be scary as F
What happened to the slings?
how the heck did you find these???
You are way braver than me
are it venenous?
Also found in United States.
are they not protected? i dont think you should be digging them up
dude are you not afraid of getting bit? Ive never seen anyone go into burrows bare handed.
So are these tarantulas?
No, they are only of the same order.
Bruh how do you like, go looking for a spider, (and a mean ass looking one a that) with your fingers digging where it could bite you???
If I see a hole I’d poke with a stick if I was feeling brave but would still anticipate the angry homeowner yeeting up the stick to bite me 😅
I love learning about these things! ...so long as they stay a suitable distance away from me
How are you so non-arachnophobic. And somehow they dont even bite you!
Isn't this incredibly harmful to the spider? Exposes them, forces them to spend energy making a new burrow. You probably killed all of those baby spiders too.
Bruh stop ruining the spiders' homes damn. You are leaving all those babies homeless.
but he explained in the video...
They'll just have to move into a spawnphanage
I found some of these fascinating spiders in the late 1970s living on the Chiltern hills in England.
