The male peacock jumping spider (Maratus volans) must dance for his life. In order to woo a female and avoid being eaten, he performs an intricate dance using a brilliantly colored fan attached to his abdomen. If the female approves, he is allowed to mate. If not, he becomes her next meal.

Peacock Spiders aren't the only animals that face reproduction and death simultaneously to.pbs.org/2IzCHMc
he came and went at the same time.
@Thaine Smith TV humans too
glad we didn't evolve from a species like that :P
As that classic ol human song goes..'Love Hurts.'..but..It is Still Well Worth the Journey😊💙💜💘💜💙..
At least the poor itty bitty fuzzy liddle lad got to danse for his True Sweet Beloved and hold her magically entranced and mesmerised for a beautifully brief Exquisite moment in Time and Space💕..
(/-\)..pity his missus couldn't just drop a few coins into his empty guitar case,thank him tenderly, and then give the magical tiny muse a chance for escape and to dance again on his planetary meaderings😉..
@@Carl-LaFong1618 ..Didn't know if he was coming or going...XD
‘Mommy, what was daddy like?’
‘He was delicious.’

Correction: this boy *had* moves

R.I.P. the poor guy eaten by the woman he loved.
Kkkkkkk
It’s Mr MVP, SIMP!!!
That's how life is for spiders in their own world
Dude it wasn't funny at all.
Yea
I heard of dancing with death but this is ridiculous.
Charles Begle 😂😂
lol
*groucho marx voice*
To us? Yes. To a spider? Not really. It’s a living.
Besides, he dies happy.
“The biggest threat of all is the female that he’s after.” I felt that on a visceral level.
Imagine we did dis az a thing when making babies.
All he needs are teeny tiny ballet shoes
And a teeny tiny chain saw to wave around like Leatherface
8 of them, and some white gloves
Cuuuuuuute!!!
@@blown22 Pffft Lol

Macro-filming is exquisitely gorgeous here.
Mom, what was dad like?
Well, he was a wonderful dancer, that's why I fell in love with him. Also he was really juicy.
Also yummy and nutritious
He was so handsome that I could just eat him. So, I did!
And that’s how I gave birth to you.

THAT'S COLD. SHE KILLED EM ANYWAY?? ALL THAT DAMN DANCING HE DID? 🤦🏿♂️
He got to mate tho.
Some smarter jumping spiders run the f away. But he was just dazing there.
So she technically took the kid. What else she wants to speak to the manager.
Typical women, take take take, no appreciation,
@@PhrostyGaming sexist. How old are you even to say shit like that?
@@PhrostyGaming stfu these are spiders, its nature.
Always wondered how they get such amazing shots considering how small that spider is
Very very expensive camera equipment.
Very very small man
Ant man does photography on his spare time
Extremely expensive macro cameras. Some newer phones have macro cameras too. Mine does, I got some sick pictures of New Zealand jumping spiders with it the other day :)
Male: THIS WOMAN IS MY DESTINY~ SHE SAID~
Female: Ooh~ Ooh~ Shut up...just shut up.
Male: D':
CJCroen1393 Just shut up and dance with me!
He's so cute 😭he tried his best
“Mom, what was dad like?”
“Tender”.
I can just imagine the female being like “Dance for me peasant”
Me: Awe.. he’s so cu- *she kills him* WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE?!?
The female needs a snack to give birth to more cute males
Circle of life
He's only the size of a grain of rice. So cute!
He got eaten like one too!
😂😂whattt
Cha cha real smooth.
Cha Cha real dead.
@@madelinemcmillan4020 cha cha real food
He dodged her strikes sooo many times before he got some. Bravo Bob and weaving though!!!

"It's show time"

Lmfaooooo
I love these little spiders. I only ever saw 1 in my whole life and he was in my front yard. I caught him cus he was on something I was moving and he had the most beautiful blue and vivid orangey red on him. He was lovely. I showed my kids then put him back in my garden. I hope he had lots of babies.
when frogs. insects and snakes are colourful.its a warning they are venomous. do not touch .
RIP
It was neat to learn that apparently most male spiders actually *present* themselves for eating rather than being unwilling victims. Because the young AND the mother are going to need the nutrients present, they'll often basically give themselves to the female as a sacrifice. It's neat!
True, a lot do. There’s even some that become paralysed and stuck to the female in a coma-like state after mating. Then she can eat him, or he’ll just starve to death on her. Then there’s some like Male black widows that attempt to escape.
@@theworthysoulimagine if we did dis az a thing of sex
Just like my ex wife😅
That is really cool indeed. And then some of the females also sacrifice their own bodies when the babies are born because they feed off of her so extensively that she ends up dying too. Both parents sacrifice themselves in the end for the babies. Nature is crazy.
Me first: awe 🥰
But now her need is over .. 😐 so she kills him anyway... 😐😦that moment when u die inside... lmao
Ikr I kept saying aww he's so cute please don't die 😭
@@dragonempress8367 lmaooo. I feel u. 😂😪
Just like our lives lol
Do the male jumping spiders lose their biological needs to get away from danger after mating or why didn't he jump to safety like during the ritual? If so, could this have evolved for the very reason you mentioned, because the males actually provide a nice little buffet for the next generation, therefore favouring a trait of non-fleeing males?
Or maybe he was just unlucky that time ...
probably because he didnt have the energy to. also because when female spiders eat the male, a nutrient source, the babies would be better developed than a female spider who didnt eat the male so there could be a trait that "paralyzes" the male after sex or a female trait that paralyzes the male after sex. its similar to male and female praying mantis relationship, i think.
Don't forget the possibility that he may be OK with sacrificing himself for the mother and his kids.

Call me sceptical but I doubt an organism the size of a grain of rice can contemplate about sacrifice and future benefits.
KoneSkirata Well said.
Right, that creature does not contemplate about sacrifice and future benefits, but you will think about the future and sacrifices of the things you will create, when the technology advances that much.
Even though the size of your creation may be as big as a rice or even smaller, nano bots etc.
I awed in cuteness. Grabbed my face just smitten with their cuteness. Then she ate him.... my jaw dropped. Lol
I opened TH-cam saw a recommendation for a cat with a cyst video and then saw things about Tarantulas and have been watching spider videos since.... I really need to go to bed. Lol
I have a spider phobia but I was hooked. It was like watching a whole horror movie but in 3 minutes. I had so many emotions going through me at the same time. The twist at the end made me almost shit my pants. I was so sure it was gonna end happily but that’s how you know it’s a good movie 🙌🏻❤️😂
You mean arachnophobia? It's a fear of arachnids, including spiders.
I know a few women just like her lol
Oscar yes but you lived to tell the tale.
Yeah, respect
They need to be beaten up
Or you made her that way 🤫
@@POWMAJ nah females are nuts in every species 😂
I read or heard somewhere that new generation of peacock spiders can’t use old dancing moves of their dads as it somehow becomes ineffective over time. So with the passage of time, moves become more and more sophisticated, and some new elements get added making it improbable to use old fashioned dancing styles when it comes to mating
one day michael jackson will be reborn as a peacock spider and doing the moonwalk
I had one of these little guys visiting my front gate for 3 days in a row, and i would just sit and hang out with her after school. After she left I've never seen one of her kind again. Miss her so much, she's the cutest little creature I've ever met. :(((
theres a whole bunch of them behind my backyard
A grain of rice?! Props to the camera crew for filming this!
They're kinda cute lol
Spiders are crazy adorable
Female spider; I'm gonna eat ya
Masculine sipder; *dance tango*
Female spider; ಠ_ಠ
I thought, awe too sweet.. Then... 😲 She still killed his ass. 😂
Props to the camerman who had to shrink down to the size of a grain of rice!
The way he wipes his “Glasses” is cute.
My boy was dodging like a king tho
That spider looks like he's bringing in a airplane hahahahaha
Hahaha 😂
Jumping spiders are so cute
1:48 Me watching the spoiled kid in Walmart throw a tantrum
Footage like this leaves me in awe. The amount of skill and dedication it must take to get these shots. It's hard to even grasp that this isn't cgi.
Omg the ending had me so shook my mouth fell open and I had to stop eating
James Wilkinson I’m not sure the type of women you’re dating, but it’s abnormal for a woman to kill and eat her partner after sex.
3:09 betrayal...
Lost the lead
Can we talk about how casually he says "So she kills him anyway."?
Adorable spider gets eaten by adorable spider
I had such high hopes for this crafty male spider. He had amazing dance moves that would make MC Hammer jealous. RIP male spider. ❤️
They are so cute. I wish there were rat sized versions I could have as a pet.
You can have the tiny ones
Which sane person would wish for rat sized spiders jesus
@@whitexavier7292 😂😂oof
@@ec23472 No Tarantula is that cute.
Life is so silly. I can’t believe that some animals dance and even evolved different colors and features to dance more effectively. They literally have their own choreographys. Man what even is life.
Well! That was Brutal! And just when we all fell in love with him and thought he'd get a Pass!
Oml its the size of a rice? Its gorgeous! I love macro lenses to see all these amazing creatures up close❤❤
Wow so sad.......... After all those tries they mate then the male dies😥😥😥😥😥
@Masticatious he died. If you're partner killed you for no reason you would be upset too
I have to say, those spiders look really cute lol
Aww 💕 at the end Aw 😂 that's how life can be, don't fall in love too quick lol
Jumping spiders are the cutest insects
Fr
Just goes to show guys will do anything to get laid lol 😂
The female calls the shots. Welcome to every males life.
Y'know, when you think about it, the Peacock Spider would be the ultimate animal gymnast. Obviously it has the rhythmic routine down to a tee, but it's clearly also very good at vaulting and knows how to walk a narrow beam.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
THEY ARE SOOOOOO CUTE
"I mean... You flailed your arms around. It's not like I am killing the best dancer in the world, now, am I?
The female is the most vicious. Of any and all species. I'm glad I'm one✨💃✨
PERIOD LIKE SLAYYYYYY🎉🎉🎉
He performed his heart out and she ate him....
He waltzed right in there, made her heart sway and skip, shimmied into her skirt, dirty danced, and for the finale, a Kiss of Death.
Wow if I was him I'd have decided to stay single
She’s a mood lol
The way he was hidden in the corner staring at her with those beady eyes
0:12 THEY WAVED AT THE CAMERA!!!! My heart is melting
No need to feel too bad for the little guy, people. Though he lost his life, he succeeded in making the next generation. That, alone, is the biggest achievement for any living organism on Earth.
This takes "Gold Digger" to a whole new level.
Beautiful colors. Nature is amazing
Nour Masri Ok. Sorry bud. I’ll take that off 👍👍
Nour Masri Sorry. I shouldn’t have said all that.
@@apieceofdirt4681 I also took it off :) don't worry we're both fine I hope. (^-^) please take care and have a good day
Nour Masri You as well bud 😊😊
all the time he is like
"catch me if you can"
“What can he do to win her over?”
Patrick: Do what you were born to do! Dance!
Such a flamboyant spider...
this is the cutest thing i‘ve seen in a while
This little spiderman is a right hero with amazing engagement💕
BABY SPIDER: Mommy, what happened to daddy?
MOM SPIDER: Let's just say he was very juicy 🩸🩸🩸
Matter of fact, we're having his leftovers tonight!
how is this the funniest thing of my night?
"She kills him anyway"
It's sad that he didn't make it at the end, I liked his moves
I saw on google that *peacock spiders* are actually nice!
Well at first the male was actually kinda pretty but then...BOOM! There he goes
Not the slow wiping of his eyes as he spots a female😭
Hi that’s one Lady you wouldn’t want to go on a date with LOL thanks for the fantastic video I think I’ve watched it three times
Im terrified of spiders and i thought i was slowly overcoming my fears just a tini bit even though i was still on edge. I thought he was kinda cute and then the end happened and i pressed pause so quick. My heart skipped a beat. She ruined it. 😖 seriously was barley hanging on with the nice part of the video. The end almost took me out the game, my heart had to restart itself 😣😣😣
1:32 "Woah Jamal, don't pull out the 9!"
Autism in Australia within the presence of the spider scene I witnessed seems pleasant
Love this little spider. Was terrified of them. I got over my fear in my 30's. Shame we don't have them here in U.K.
Peacock spider lives on Australia 🇦🇺
This is the most Thrilling Video I've ever watched. so scary with romance and crime, pack with comedy and horror. haha
If women would respect there bodies like this female spider does the world would be better!!
How cute!
00:03 AMAZING cinematography..
For a roll in the hay that awesome, maybe it was worth it!
In human terms:-
Oh, hi, you're just in time. I've just put the oven on.
This? Oh, it's just a huge carving knife. Can you dance for me and I might let you stay for dinner.
They are so cute.
Kid: where's dad?
Mom: Oh, I ate him.
Kid: Wahhhhhhhhhh
LOL
Female: Your dancing was beautiful... Now I'm gonna eat you!
Male: Aw thanks, dea- Wait! What?!
Female: Hon, its the best way you can support the children until they hatch.
Male: *sigh* Yes, dea- Ooh! Ah! Eh! Aaack! *dead*
Me: HA SIMP!
He's so cute omg
Imagine asking a woman to dance, and she tries to deck you every few minutes during the tango.
0:19 HOLY CRUD THATS TINY
Very Colourful The Peacock Spiders Are!🤔🕷️🕸️
