Deadly Redback Spiders Giant Beetle Bug Battle Week 9

- The Redback spider is just like the Black Widow spider, it enjoys living in dark secluded places in urban environments. From an infestation of Redback spiders I now have a out of control terrarium of life and death. Week 9 sees more baby spiders and large dominate females deciding the fate of everything that enters the spider tank. The spiderlings can easily escape via the very fine spider web they make. I use light to control where the spiderlings go as they seem to always move towards a bright light. This week was in the season where large Christmas beetles can be found. In a previous week we saw via time lapse the Redbacks control and kill a large beetle. This week we see the efforts multiple spider do to control what is a very powerful insect. It's a great illustration of the amazing spider web the Redback uses to disable the most powerful critters around. Once the spider has a chance it gets a spider bit in and then it's just a matter of waiting for the spider venom to take effect. Redback spiders love beetles as a meal. It was curious to see how all the large females worked to disable the big Christmas beetle. I'm out to prove the Australian Redback spider is the most deadly and dangerous spider on the planet. The Female Redback spiders are so adept at killing anything that enters their webs. Video posted as educational, documentary, and scientific and forms part of my Redback Spider study series of videos.
TH-camr Beanmeister22 had the idea for this Terrarium. It's decorated with a CAT Bulldozer toy, Thomas The Tank (Wooden Railway), Minecraft Minifigure Steve with TNT and Star Wars Millennium Falcon (Hot Wheels Diecast). This Terrarium has garden soil and other garden bugs that were in the compost heap. It's a fun and inexpensive home for the most interesting and deadly pets I have ever had.

The Redback spider (Latrodectus hasseltii) is a species of venomous spider indigenous to Australia. It is a member of the cosmopolitan genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders. The adult female is easily recognised by her spherical black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side of her abdomen and an hourglass-shaped red/orange streak on the underside. Females have a body length of about 10 millimetres (0.4 in), while the male is much smaller, being only 3-4 mm (0.12-0.16 in) long. Mainly nocturnal, the female Redback lives in an untidy web in a warm sheltered location, commonly near or inside human residences. It preys on insects, spiders and small vertebrates that become ensnared in its web. It kills its prey by injecting a complex venom through its two fangs when it bites, before wrapping them in silk and sucking out the liquefied insides. Male spiders and spiderlings often live on the periphery of the female spiders' web and steal leftovers. Other species of spider and parasitoid wasps prey on this species. The Redback is one of few arachnids which usually display sexual cannibalism while mating. The sperm is then stored in the spermathecae, organs of the female reproductive tract, and can be used up to two years later to fertilise several clutches of eggs. Each clutch averages 250 eggs and is housed in a round white silken egg sac. The Redback spider has a widespread distribution in Australia, and inadvertent introductions have led to established colonies in New Zealand, Japan, and in greenhouses in Belgium.
The redback is one of the few spider species that can be seriously harmful to humans, and its preferred habitat has led it to being responsible for the large majority of serious spider bites in Australia.

leokimvideo you should add springtails to deal with mold btw love ur vids🙂
Sam J. Johnson Game of Terrains
ppcarbone not possible
You're like a sports commentator but for spiders.
Mike Teshan I was expecting "BAH GAWD HE'S BROKEN IN HALF!!" 🤣🤣
Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that lol "here he comes down the left into the right centers and OH! WHAT A BLOODY BITE THAT WAS DEAR LORD! WOWZERS IN ME TROWZERS" 😂😂😂
I never thought it was possible was possible to hate love and be afraid of something at the same time
Imagine you're a bug just trying to have some fun and you end up accidently entering Leokims house.. It would be like the movie "Hostel" but with spiders.
Time to get out that famous flame thrower LOL

Posiden lol k

This series is great for sure, got me hooked on week 1. Although if an ending ever comes, I would pay to see the tank be torched. #AvengeGonzo
flamethrower the tank for the Grand Final
psycho1004 I'm thinking just a ton of fire ants or something insane like that. I wanna see these spiders go down !
TheTsavoman that would be awesome
TheTsavoman lots of ants would die though
TheTsavoman that would be a bad ass battle tbh (do the fire ants) final battle 😂
HazmatZombie no
I want to start off by saying that I really enjoy this series. It is fascinating, entertaining, sometimes awesome (flamethrower), funny ("Do not ever attempt to keep these deadly spiders as pets... I'd like to show you my deadly pet spiders!"), and there is something cool about watching somebody learn about something through observation. I greatly encourage you to keep it going, possibly restarting with the knowledge you obtain about containing them, or even studying different spiders altogether. If the area around your home seems to have a red-back infestation, I would highly recommend putting together a similar container together with daddy long-legs inside, to get them to breed so that there are many of them, as there tend to not be very many red-backs where there are a lot of "daddy long-legs"... but you have to have the right kind.
There are many types of "daddy long-leg" Species. There are "Opiliones", or "Harvestmen";
"Pholcidae", or "cellar spiders"; and then "crane flies". Harvestmen are oftentimes mistaken for spiders; but they are, in fact, not. If you put any species of Harvestmen into a spider tank, they will most likely die. Now, the family known as "cellar spiders" ARE actual spiders, many of which would be quite capable of killing other spiders like red-backs. They are the ones you want. Don't even think about crane flies. XD
The "Giant daddy long-leg" or "Pholcus phalangioides" is a cellar spider that is known to prey upon red-back spiders. It's light weight and extra long legs help it to confuse the red-back when it is on it's web, and also helps it to keep it's distance. They are also known as "long-bodied cellar spiders" or "skull spiders", because apparently they slightly resemble a human skull (I don't quite see it). They need a warm and relatively dry environment, and are considered to be completely harmless to humans. They tend to prey upon spider species that are harmful to humans, which is quite nice. I'm not sure exactly where you would find one in Australia, but good luck! XD
I really love this videos cause I think spiders are interesting but just in videos -_-
DEADPOOLIO The amazing lol IKR
I have to thank u for your videos ive suffered from Aracniphobia for most of my life but letting my Curiousity over power my fear n forcing my self to watch your videos I've lost my fear completely
BUT LEO!!! WHEN IS THE NEXT SPIDDLY DIDDLY VIDEO..?!!?!? 🕷😱
But seriously, excellent video. Love the quality of the camera - so vivid and clear. Stay safe bro 👊🏼
Never clicked on something so fast
I've heard that the daddy long legs have a very strong venom and are supposed to take on a red back
Yanaki The great they are the most poisonous spider
Yanaki The great O the difference sorry the granddaddy is the most poisonous they are absolutely TINY though like their body isn't bigger than a finger nail
That's an urban legend
Imperator Seal: Their venom is harmless to people. Mythbusters disproved that. They extracted the venom and it didn't even pass the basic lethality test on a hamster. They measured the fang length and they can infact penetrate human skin. Adam himself let one bite him. He described a flash of warmth around the bite that painlessly dissapated.
Thomas has seen much death
fought many wars
lost many friends
pray for Thomas
Hey Leo! Hope you and the critters are doing well. I just heard something interesting that I wanted to share with you. Activated charcoal added to dirt in terrariums and gardens helps prevent mold and mildew. It's super cheap too. I put it in my planters. Works great. I bet a half and half mixture would be great for your new Spider Tank.
can we see a huntsman enter the redback home
dan c it already has and it got killed fast
If you want to get rid of the moisture quickly, you can put a fan on a raised surface nearby and point it at the grate on the top of the tank. This will suck away ambient moisture in the tank, causing the water to evaporate to replace the moisture, only for it to be pulled away again. It should dry out the inside reasonably quickly.
Ah yes and create it into a vast desert land
Antonio Zavala well the spiders are from Australia so its not like the habitat would be unnatural
I was thinking of using a flamethrower to pull the moisture away ;)
yessss
leokimvideo oh jeez not the babies lol. So is the series finished or is it still going or is that a prelude to the end of the series?
Put worms in the tank for the mold
The "daddy longlegs" spider looks to be a cellar spider (or at least it looks a lot like them which we have in the states). They DO in fact eat redbacks/widows and other venomous spiders while being harmless themselves. I bet if you put a bunch of daddy longlegs in there eventually they would overtake the tank
well thats spider he caught wasnt a daddy long legs let me explain first daddy long legs arent spiders and they only have one body part that has eyes and legs daddy long legs look close to the harvestmen spiders yet agin not a spider and theres spider facts
I thought i had daddy long legs in my cellar but i found out theyre cellar spiders they have a seperate head and abdomen ..they get huge!!!! Thank God for the shop vac
Why putting in carrots? In case Redbacks are going vegan or what?
LFish Haha
LFish cricket foof
food for insects
I need to keep the insects fed so the spiders feed on something fat.
leokimvideo true but I feel like celery is easier for the insects to chew upon since carrots are kinda stiff and hard. Plus celery itself has lots of water in it also lettuce and spinach
Legit just watched about 10 of your spider videos in a row and ive decided im making an enclosure tomorrow. Looks so cool to do
👍 up for the carrots!
One of my favorite videos on your channel 100%
Love your videos dude! As a fellow Australian your channel has taught me how to avoid red backs (not that I have as many around the property as you seem to haha) so thanks!
I'm a grown man and I loooove these videos . I watch them everyday best content and commentary.
Love your videos keep it up 😀
thank you for posting videos like this for as long as you have these videos are interesting to watch
I hear red backs like gasoline, you should fill that tank up with gas and light it up before anymore escape into your workshop.
This is the most brutal series ever made, keep it up.
I don't remember how I came to watching these spider videos, but I'm super invested
The "daddy long-leg" spiders are extremely amazing at containing infestations. We have an old wooden shed that for years had been populated by hundreds of black widows and a single one got in there and turned itself into 10 and killed them all.
Love these redback spiders.
been so addicted to these videos. All my friends think I am weird for watching these lmao
The thing in the tape is a ant queen
DENMARS CHANNEL no. How is it orange!?
GerryTGM // The Golden Minecart it's a fire ant queen
No, its got some really long leg/tail things attached to it. I can't see it being an ant queen.
It's not an ant queen yet it is probably an infertile female elate and it would have become a queen if it met a male elate and got fertilized.
I think it's a male ant elate but the last person might be right too
How in the world did we get to a point in humanity where people starting feeling sad for insects....
Keep up the great videos man, ignore all these people saying it's brutal and unnatural.
Time to use a flamethrow on those guys and get a bigger tank with new spiders
That beetle was beautiful Leo, its not sad though because it's interesting to see how the spider deals with very strong prey !
get a bigger tank
like if you agree
Nameless SOS don’t ask for likes that’s why I disliked
Nameless SOS it’s impossible, moving the spider will be a nightmare
he pre recorded these a while ago so these spiders aren't in it anymore, also I agree get a bigger tank and new ones (plus he said he might actually make spider tank 2)
JumpManBruce Fam Hello guys I am poop
Nameless SOS no beggars
Great vid Leo, very good shots, interesting, thanks 👌
Do more frequent videos of the spiders tank!! Like if you Agree
Extremely good commentary, very entertaining thanks.
If you want competition for the red backs choose BROWN RECLUSE
I would place a few
To create real competition
Dude you are sad you are texting to yourself
Tactical Mason u are sad u are texting to yourself
That’s a really good idea I would love to see that
I would also recommend a bigger tank so it is not so cramped. Loving these red backs by the way. They are so pretty.😄
I heard something like spiders have poor eyesight and the daddy long legs shakes a lot so the other spiders cant see it. Your mouth can't bite what your eyes can't see
Ramjet164 And award for best comment of the year goes to...
Ramjet164 😂😂
One million subs Leo ! Congrats dude ! This is totally your new job ! hahah
I feel itchy while watching this...
Also no one has finished the video at the time i'm writing this :)
Apprentice you are right
I Already watched this
another fine video coming from Oz - thx Mr Leo xx .... next please ;)
bro protect your home and keep those babies from getting out. keep the lid shut as much as possible or spray the top of the tank or something man.
Beetle battle bathing. Amazing videos. Keep going.
you should get a bigger tank
Khris Bernal it'll be more work to contain the insects and spiders, keeping it this size is okay.
Dude I love your videos, man. Great commentary tha whole time!
drop the sydney funnel web in there.
Man dude your videos are awesome feels like I’m watching tv 😎👍
Why not take out the old carrot? Get a bigger tank.
Majin Buu damn you
The problem with a bigger tank is that it's more work. He's keeping these spiders under certain conditions to reduce the chances of getting bitten.
Parker Blomberg yeah! He can even put a couple of Daddy Long Legs
B Smith ya correct!!!!!
Seeing the carrots get placed is one of the best parts tbh
If they can walk on webs then they can walk on tape.
I just love to listen how you talk 😍😄
when's the next video
Spiderlings eating preterm-born spiderlings. I love this series.
#Pray4Gonzo
WOW! Leom, Great moves! Keep it up, proud of you!
That cellular spider has no chance xD it will be dead in minuets.
Cellar spiders yes! They're such lovely little things and they absolutely annihilate every other spider in their path.
Where is week 10?
Leo PLEASE POST MORE OF THESE TYPE VIDS I LIVE FOR THEM!! PLEASE THE SPIDER TANK SERIES NEEDS TO BE UPDATED PLEASE!!! I WANT TO WATCH MORE OF THEM!!! I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE
you should make a new and bigger habbitat for the spiders like if you agree
Redback got her " knockers in a knot" 😂😂😂😂😂🕷. I think the beetle is actually very pretty. Hes clumsy as a 2 legged cat but hes still handsome
Leo just out of curiosity, what was the spider tank before it became a spider tank?
ItzDarkInHere _ a glass tank :)
Thanks brother for the vids. Here in Washington state the Columbia river cuts the state in half, east and west. The East side is infested the west side not to much thanks to the wind and that massive river. Thank God i live in Wenatchee which is on the w3st side.
Week 10?
These videos are so interesting you sound like a footy comintar 😂😂 love it
8:40 WWE
I love WWE
Can't wait for the video of the "egg sac" being laid, that's going to be an AMAZING video to see.
Are you going to be in need of getting your shed/videoing room and house being completely fumigated when the spider vids are done? Or did not many little 'uns escape? ( I just got that creepy itchy feeling of spiders crawling all over me thinking of that. Lol)
Love these videos, Leo. So well done. Your thirst for knowledge is a wonderful trait to have.
Much respect.

#prayforbeetle
those "other spiders" in the tank are juvenile Redbacks!
take a close look at the spider-lings, they have the same mottles white/brown/yellow colouring as the mystery spiders.
i'm in the US and we have the black widow and they look the same when they are young. i kept seeing them and wondered what they were and they always seemed to be on widow webs. so on a hunch i googled juvenile black widow and, voila! so weird how we have essentially the same spider on the other side of the world.
#RIPGonzo
That beetle has actually broken free of quite a bit of webbing. Those legs must be really powerful
I love seeing you put new insects in!
add a snake in there
keep up the good work. I enjoy this series
#praiforbetle

Why have we had to wait until 2017 for this kind of quality entertainment?
1st
no your not
you're*
I love these videos, it's my newest obsession
Leo your the bravest person I know on TH-cam to handle with those red back spiders
beetles like "SOLO, OH GOD SOLO PLEASE BE IN, GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT HERE AND HELP ME!!!"
Beetle is probably thinking..these dam webs.😂🇦🇺
hello i love your spider videos and keep up the good work
I love your spider videos! :P
I just noticed my first video I watch in this channel ..........the video when this guy try to catch a big huntsman spider on the ceiling with a clear box and fail xD LOL I just realize that
I'M EARLY!!! :DDDD Love your videos
Cool! A couple days or months ago I found 16 egg sacks with 3 females and 1male in the corner of my house
the other critters probably died to the mite infestation, i have seen similar scenarios on other bug videos but it might also be because of the fungi that as been growing on the tank, actually it would probably be an interesting idea to move the action into a bigger tank and probably more action could take place, anyway keep up the good work =)
Any sort of corpses and debris that stays in the tank has the potential to decay with mold. After a few days to a week, it's best to remove the dead bugs and carrots, mainly to reduce the chance of rotting, but to also open more space for the spiders, as it can become quite cramped in there.
Also, people can make quite a lot of money as spider breeders. I'm not sure how legal that is where you live, but those spiderlings can be quite pesky and hard to contain. Just a suggestion.
Is it the bite that kills the prey or is it simply stunned for the kill later? I suppose I wonder if a creature like the Beatle is bitten can it recover if able to escape - obviously not much chance of getting away in the tank. great update Leo. keep it up!
Da slow mo commentary makes my day 🤗🤗🤗
Amazing to see the redback bite the joints of the beetle to get the easiest bite in.
I wish more people made terrariums like this with multiple species of creature fighting for survival in their own small ecosystem, it becomes most interesting when two different species are able to successfully survive by breeding fighting and feeding off of the other and hopefully they would also be provided other more docile type creatures in their ecosystem to hunt I think that would be awesome
I bet it smells like a vegetarians fart in that tank when you first lift the lid off, keep up the good work mate, these vids make me feel all nostalgic as I used to do similiar things when a kid.
EVERYTIME I WATCH YOUR SPIDER VIDS I SCRATCH A LOT
If i had this container full of bugs in my home, I’d get paranoid that a red-back would crawl in my mouth in the middle of the night
