How a Huntsman Spider Returned From the Dead in My Giant Rainforest Vivarium

My giant cloud rainforest vivarium, Pantdora, is a biological dream project, full of discovery and surprises! This week, I discover a giant huntsman that I thought had died weeks ago. I address the numerous theories you had about this mystery of the spider's resurrection. It was a complete adventure I will never forget. So many plot twists! Hope you enjoy Season 2, Ep. 5. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

I too lost it when you were on your hands and knees at 1min 24sec. Your butt was up in the air and it looks like you're wearing a g string. Not that I'm against that I guess but to show it on tv, or the illusion of it on tv, bad move mikey. Bad move. Think things out first. Love your earlier shows when you were normal, who are you now?

These videos have genuinely changed me from someone that panicked when seeing insects to someone that gives them room and time to get away.

[@snoozingtown2135]

Omg fr I am usually super scared of insects for some reason videos like this kind of humanize them or something like that and it makes me feel better. Probably not humanize but knowing that they are living beings that have a purpose like us, puts me at ease.

"Regarding the spider situation, maybe when the vivarium opened, the spider may have snuck in. You said that they are rare but since they are more active at night, it might have snuck in when it was dark."

[@McP1mpin]

What is there to update though? They're individual colonies in ideal habitats with no predators. "Update: colony still thriving, full of ants... doing ant things."

[@robbybevard8034]

Sure, but once the colony is set up and thriving in their final form setup, there's not much to update. No news is good news, they're just continuing to thrive without predators and someone feeding them daily. I do want to know more about the mega brood of termites though where like 13 of them grouped up to be egglaying partners, we've heard nothing about them since they grouped up, but I can't imagine how it would be too different from the earlier termite videos outside of quantity.

I had a feeling it was a different Huntsman Spider you found when Lady Deathstrike first went missing. I was like “there’s no way she could’ve gotten pregnant again that quickly. This has to be a different spider.” so the fact that you managed to somehow find a second female huntsman who was pregnant in your house is astounding lol

Not saying this case here but fyi they can drop multiple sacs off one paring and huntsman often do, so "getting pregnant that quickly after" as you say is not a thing. No disrespect....that being said, he did release at least 50 babies in enclosure. Safe to say it's possible one has molted into a Juvie by now, at least that's what the camera seems depict in size difference but we will find out! Have good day everyone!!

[@NightRunner417]

Here's a fun thing for those with a microbiology inclination: Pause around 16:08 and have a good look at those plant leaves. That "grainy" look to the surfaces is not just an exterior texture. It's the actual individual cells that make up the leaf surface. Plant cells can be quite large and are very easy targets for microscopes. In this case, they're so big that simple macro photography is enough to reveal them. AC has some really nice equipment. 🙂 Also, very cool that he has Ghost Ants making off with smaller Mealies. That helps keep their populations under control. Mealies are a frickin' nightmare when they get a foothold in indoor/greenhouse type gardens, and can easily damage and kill your plants. They can be VERY hard to control once they get a population going.

[@shuttttt]

That's very cool thanks for sharing

[@hgoldy]

[@NightRunner417]

@@karmakimeleon8832 Don't get me started. Too late, I'm started. A few years back I got myself a fairly large grow tent in the feeble thought that if MJ got legalized nationwide I'd like to grow my own indoors. For other reasons I decided that's a bad idea all around, but I still went ahead and turned it into a rather impressive indoor garden. Tomatoes and peppers at first, which were SO good , never tasted anything like that before. Good dirt, happy plants. Then sweet potatoes which grew like mad. Made the huge mistake of bringing just one plant in from outdoors, and with it came whiteflies and mealies. In no time, SWARMING. Lost almost everything very quickly and it was such a war I decided to just quit the whole thing. Was expensive to run the 400w of LED lighting anyway and the bug invasion just absolutely made me hate it. I even had ants that found their way in somehow and were loving the mealies, just like AC's experience. SO upsetting. To this day I won't even consider trying again, totally killed it for me. I took the tent down, got rid of all the plants, and now I just use a single hanging 100w LED unit over a shelf to grow a few babies for the outdoor flowerbeds.

Agreed!!!! Boring to be honest lol!! I tried to watch another channel and there is nothing that compares to antscanada

[@revlaunb1876]

I watch all current episodes and never see a python. Unless there are other titles and videos that I hadn't seen in the 20 episodes of my ecosystem vivarium. I truly enjoyed watching these 20 videos of how the ecosystem came together to thrive. I am afraid of a few of the critters, but I loved the environment created. This has been a fascinating experience and journey. Thank you.

[@Oldworldlove]

Woe. Bagworms are so cool. Ive always hated insects but now i LOVE marauder ants, crickets, rhinos, and now these bagworms.

[@j5ney193]

The addition of a salamander to the waters would be awesome

[@Captainumerica]

Oh, jinx!😁

[@Yo-Its-Jeff]

I was thinking crayfish! They are so fun to watch.

[@thepygmymammoth]

Salamanders are amphibians.

[@evilamy5]

I would be so down for some amphibians like salamanders and newts. They're such gregarious critters.

[@junenei]

I was looking for this suggestion! Maybe clawed frogs would also be good since they don't leave the water? Newts would be so cool though. Either way we need more amphibians!

[@Animal4ever560]

THE LAST PART WAS CRAZY!

[@crystallvndr]

Your videos are so good, really high quality! Also was recently watching a korean reality tv show episode of Live Alone and they referenced your work since they were talking about vivariums and terrariums! So cool!

[@vincentos1239]

the music at the beginning about lady death strike i fricking love every single second of it !!!! ❤

[@ryans450]

Is it an original? I want it

[@oddspadakins]

It’s actually Lady Beth Strike, her evil twin! Who always shadowed her angelic sister and secretly hated her. Then killed her so she could finally reign…insert evil laugh.

[@Prettygoodspell]

Lady Beth Strike lmao

I am so happy to see the progress of this channel! I started watching when I was in middle school and I've just now graduated from university. I just have to say congratulations on all your achievements, discoveries, and continued growth! Also, I'm not sure if anyone else lives with you, but what a treat it would be to live with someone who puts so much care and effort into making their spaces look incredibly epic, diverse, and ecologically sound!!!

Thank you! 🙏❤️🐜🌿

[@melissagreene8053]

Agreed!!!

[@dukeofthedance8062]

It'd be neat if an aggressive fire ant queen and brood were released to sterilize the entire tank of all life (to start all over again after moving them out using trickery) but I know with the current set up that'd be really hard to do. They'd find a way out but maybe not. Mikey knows what he's doing with them. Another solution though harsh is using putty and tape to seal off every single tiny air entrance and exit and then pumping high pressure steam in for 5-6 days as a natural event - pieces of volcano hit nearby that would create steam - to kill off most if not all life and to start over again, knowing what he knows now. Doesn't have to give up, but like with coral reef hobbyist tanks, sometimes it really is better to call it scratch and just start over again. There are times when trying to fix a thing becomes redundant. The more you fix it, the more resources it takes when if it was just taken back to the VERY start, done then with what you've learned, and maybe the 2nd go around will be better and it usually is incredibly better from first hand experience, success and failures combined. We've all been there and it helps to fail the 1st time or multiple times, it's ok. I think he shouldn't have added _anything_ except feeders and roaches, few other things, then let it go for at least 6-12 months before expecting a real, thriving ecosystem but for content sake and I understand this, it's being rushed. I believe that is why the ants got the mites. It's not balanced. Something is wrong. I really enjoy this series and am grateful for the older videos.. also the Gaia thing too, but where are the ants? Know you showed them but it's pretty brief. Am still grateful but this thing you have, this project, it needs help and wish he would listen. Like with reef tanks, if you're throwing money, work, part of your own life (what I call resources) away, then yes. Sell what you have, "nuke" it, then try again - but waiting 6 months at LEAST to introduce anything other than indestructible fish like damsels and corals like green star polyps and zooanthids; anything SUPER easy that you have to put in a hard days work to harm or kill. I've accidentally forgotten these corals in a bag with no water, just a little humidity for 3 long days behind a tank and they were still fine. They're used to it when tide goes down. Gaia needs a reboot. AntsCanada fan forever. Except one part I won't bring up here.

Dude, thank you...I know that means nothing to you but if you only knew how freaking miserable my life is right now, this channel is one of the only shinning lights. When I see an upload I genuinely smile which I do very little since my mom and best friend died in July 23. So really, thank you! You’re one of THE BEST channels on KZbin. ❤

I feel the exact same way and suffered enormous loss in 2023. Take care of yourself

[@rebecculousrk]

Im so sorry that you're going through such grief. Hope everything gets better for you. Don't know what you may be experiencing in terms of circumstances, but I've gotten a lot of joy and distraction recently from raising "Sea Monkies" (brine shrimp) because they're incredibly cheap, tiny and easy pets. A recycled glass jar 10.5 oz or more, sea salt and brine shrimp eggs off amazon, 1/30 tsp or less of eggs gives you hundreds of little shrimps swimming happily. Nice to watch. They eat powdered spirulina (ebay, $5-$15) (videos aplenty here on yt). Apologies if this idea is ridiculous. ❤ Wishing you happiness, peace.

A lot of folks say the same thing about "Unhhhh." It's just a pair of drag queens talking about random stuff, but the visual gags they add in post-production takes their comedy to the stratosphere 🙌🏾
