Agelena labyrinthica - The Labyrinth spider

[@vysrom4440]

I spent much of my time as a child throwing crickets in the webs of the labyrinth spider. I grew up in east Texas on a farm, these spiders were everywhere. Such a cool spider

[@z0eshi]

I really like these styles of videos you make, they're educational and really nicely edited, goes to show how many spiders we really have here and just what you can find near by instead of going to a zoo to see them, really love this

[@AureusD]

This channel is so underrated. You need more subs! Keep up the good work

[@krism4467]

For a minute, I thought I was watching a documentary... so professional.

[@spoodsnstuff]

I love these videos highlighting native spiders, so important for the future of our own species.

[@tarantulakeeperuk8045]

The effort you put into these videos is appreciated mate. Great vid!

[@avavanpelt926]

Wicked cool spider sir! Fantastic video start to finish. It pulled me in from the thumbnail alone.

[@EnderAnts]

Oh my goodness I think I found my favorite spider channel even though I dont watch spiders. Saving this for my watch for later since I gotta brush my teeth.

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Thank you 🙂

[@frostedmelon4992]

Great video. Like all the others I loved it. You are such a professional. You have come such a long way and now you nearly have 10k subs!! Still not enough in my opinion. You do way cooler videos than other people, you build great enclosures and provide educational info too.... all without causing your spiders to be harassed and get angry. You will always be my favourite spider related youtuber.

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Thankyou 🙂

[@nedriley6991]

Thank you for helping people learn about insects and other animals

[@rumpelstilzz]

Love it that you're guiding our eyes not only at the large and exotic spiders from overseas, but also at the wonders we have at home. Sure, here on continental europe it's slightly different ones than with you in GB, but there's a lot of cuties to behold: large Tegenaria atrica I see at work everyday, or my favourite, the incredibly cute Salticus scenicus. Sometimes, you don't need to venture far!

[@angielou123]

I took on an allotment a few weeks ago and these sheet webs were all over the place, I know what they are now, thank you 😊♥️👍❤️

[@philiposso8644]

I've found this spider on heathlands in Surrey where the webs are close to ground level. On one occasion I watched a spider hunting wasp enter the spider's labyrinth nest through the 'front door'. About 20 seconds later the wasp re-emerged without spider, and I saw the spider exiting from a different part of it's extensive web.I've also seen (a young) one tackling a honey bee, very similar to the one in the video tackling the house cricket ... go for it, back-off, go for it, and in the end the bee managed to struggle free and escape (though whether it lived afterwards depends on whether the spider managed to get in a bite).Fascinating to watch

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Nice 👍tricky to catch I found prodding a stick at the bottom of the web drove them out.

[@PA-gn4fi]

@@MarksTarantulas1980 I dropped one of my roach babies as bait, when it came out of its little labyrinth I carefully used my tongs to pick it up and put it In a new home. It is doing well today, I can see some webs slowly materialising around the leaves and sticks I put around. Hopefully it makes a nice home out of it all.

[@Richard-vu7kh]

[@sidneyjones5318]

Very similar in habits, body and coloring to the grass spiders which are very common in the US Midwest. They are equally at home in nature and along human-made structures such as fences, windows, anywhere they can weave their retreats. The markings on the abdomen are different - two stripes where your sweetie has sort of a herringbone-like pattern.

[@gfanarakos]

during spring especially May agelenas are covering grassfileds and are little ones and there can be seen as decades nests existing on fields (especally in the morning sun as reflect them) bulding their webs being very active to construct it and feed. During the summer they grow very big and become adults being less active and more suspicious to all kings of vibrations - of course not all grow but the ones not endangered to open air fields well protected - therefore most adult nests are beneath olive trees sometimes on their branches , close to bushes - their characteristic is the fish bone on their back - very essential to agriculture as it reduces grashoppers population

We have something close in the states but they build their webs in dark corners. Large shinny black with grey butts. We just leave them they eat other spiders, same habitat as the recluse we prefer them.
