Argiope Aurantia Making Web Close-up HD

Notice how the Argiooe aurantia spider uses each leg to measure out the threads. Also notice how she uses her third pair of legs to cut the scaffolding thread!

[@yukikaze0grandleader]

This is absolutely terrifying on full-screen. I love watching spiders make webs when I'm stoned though. Oddly relaxing.

[@aktualizator1219]

The species was first described by Hippolyte Lucas in 1833. It is common to the contiguous United States, Hawaii, southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America. It has distinctive yellow and black markings on the abdomen and a mostly white cephalothorax. Its scientific Latin name translates to "gilded silver-face" (the genus name Argiope meaning "silver-face", while the specific epithet aurantia means "gilded"). The body length of males range from 5-9 mm (0.20-0.35 in); females range from 19-28 mm (0.75-1.10 in). These spiders may bite if disturbed or harassed, but the venom is harmless to non-allergic humans, roughly equivalent to a bumblebee sting in intensity.

So neat...talented little creatures

[@grahamosborne5109]

I like Spiders as they kill wasps.wasps hurt and some people can die from a wasp sting.Hooray for Spiders.

[@Dooomhunter]

WooW the spider is a great artist ;) i love how she's spending all day webbing in a circle, it must be sucha beautiful life!

[@4hotpink10]

spiders are artists

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Yes they are!

[@PSILOCYBETRIBE]

i released one into my compost in the backyard, we feed it bugs every day too, its such an awesome spider! look how precise it is on making its web, that's incredible!

[@dunwoodie27]

Very interesting and yet creepy! Just amazing to see how they build their webs!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

And to think they do this just by using their legs and not even looking at it!

[@elsakristina2689]

Look at how she connects the lines!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+elsa1942 It is amazing! She measures everything with her legs! Her eyes aren't even facing where she is connecting the threads!

[@elsakristina2689]

:D

[@atralupus5820]

Why do people say stuff like, " kill it!", or "omg it's creepy as hell keep it away" there just spiders, it's like saying, " keep that adorable puppy away" pups bite and draw blood, spiders may be poisonous but if you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. Then there are idiots in the world who kill things with out thinking about it, seriously spiders aren't bad! At least when you walk out the door a swarm of flies or mosquitos aren't trying to tear your face off

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Atra Lupus Thank you for seeing it my way! I will continue to strive to educate the world on it's importance!

[@bruce-175]

Atra Lupus kill it

[@soniablanche5672]

KILL IT

[@guttagutta420]

This is oddly fascinating and satisfying at the same time. Always wondered how come spiders don't get stuck in their own web.

[@zezo69]

they are really precise, huh?

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

They are indeed!

[@justinowens8834]

I love how they feel for the next part of the web, then place the next section of the web with their hind legs or whatever their called. To me thats pretty amazing.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Justin Owens It is insanely fascinating watching this process! And thank you for watching!

[@hotrodsniper]

Spiders blow my mind with their web-making skills :D

[@NecroxiaSWG]

She's very pretty. It's always interesting to see spiders at work.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Yes it is indeed!!!

[@DiegoDCvids]

awesome filming, beautiful Nephila

[@theflamingoqueen]

thank u....we have several this year and one really big that is just amazing

[@dejesusrussell]

Even though I hate spiders, this video is fascinating and stunning. Thank you!

[@MrGlobbits]

Amazing to watch isn't it. I mean really SEE how they do it. I have absolutely no problem with spiders. They kill flies and bugs, and that would alone put them in my cool book. I never kill them if I see one in my room. I just catch it and put it outside or something. It's only how they look that stops you from loving 'em.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+MrGlobbits Yes it is!!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Kyle Erman Not going to lie, I don't even do that. lol

[@janellestreed]

Photo-perfect! Great capture!!!!

[@venomsnake6857]

i think spiders are creppy but there also pretty cool and they kill annoyig bugs like flies which is a plus for me as long as its not crawling on me thats fine by me

[@unbridledenthusiasm]

amazing video. great channel

[@nathanwilliams4423]

OMG!! what an amazing video! thanks so much for sharing that : )

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

No problem! :)

[@ssjwes]

I used to get them outside my house all the time. There huge up close. We always left them alone cause they help control the insect population. They wont hurt you

[@bheatricegreene03]

I love this vid. I'm currently watching the spider that I caught today and became more curious about spiders..

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Not a bad thing at all! They are extremely fascinating creatures!

[@amyzhang5622]

I'm terrified of spiders but this is so freaking cool!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Isn't it?! There's no reason to fear these, but I understand not just you have that problem. But that's why I'm here!

[@kafthegreat]

Wow. how interesting, thank you for this.

[@r3alsinc31992]

I like this, very patient creature.

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

What am I doing here

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+YouriIsEenBanaan I don't know! But I appreciate you watching anyway! lol Please feel free to check out the rest of my videos!

[@YouriIsEenBanaan]

+IloveSPIDERZ it's been a year and this was the best thing you could come up with?

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

LMAO I'm sorry! I'm playing a game called "catch up reading and replying to comments" lol

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

@malarkybeasly07 crickets. this spider was right above a creek. also road noise in the background.

[@jacobblakesley3430]

These things are everywhere in Florida during the summer....I still find them absolutely terrifying despite how poisonous they are

[@elisethestar]

this is amazing

[@cassuttustshirt4949]

Got three of these lil' gals out in the back of our house, and one that was in the front...she didn't survive the nasty weather we had, but the other three were shielded. Just watched one start stringing up the supports to her web =D We call her Big Bertha =)

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Haha Nice!!

[@kyleman1313]

Beautiful.

Like you I also like spiders. They are faszinating. Your video is well done! R.

[@crmoinside]

Very cool!

[@Agm1995gamer]

i got a jumping spider it made himself something like a cave out of silk is something happening to him/her?

[@MrAsiris23]

spiders are really patient :) fabulous creatures

[@thatguyovertherelmao]

Thumbs up if you hate it when people tell you to thumbs up.

[@ddgrfan03]

Nice! I just made a time lapse video of a spider spinning a web in my backyard.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

I will check it out!

[@eenayeah]

Amazing.

[@rcatstott]

impressive!!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Bird Scott Thank you!

[@Backwardsman97]

why are the coolest bugs the creepiest. I mean that's cool as shit but if that thing gets on me I'm killing it.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

I think you are talking about the Nephilla spider.

[@archoneyes125]

gorgeous

[@trystanpatnode5729]

How doesn't it get stuck in its own web?

[@soniablanche5672]

how many strings can a spider shit ?

[@Promethevs_xviii]

Love it

[@adamclaybourne]

are these kinds of spiders poisonous ???

[@starthi]

what camera

[@ariannaholguin1991]

So cool

[@Icedolly777]

This spider is actually kind of pretty.

[@campingtree102]

It sad when spiders take a lot of time making their web homes and suddenly people destroy them

[@davio2k0]

amazing to watch,

[@Wolves2314]

I love when the spider spends so long and works so hard to make a web, and then I destroy it with a hose. :)

[@Shahadari]

cant believe ive been destroying these webs when it takes spiders so long to make them to get food :/

[@tinasheroy]

was watching spiderman two minutes ago...that's what brought me here

[@chaaaaaannahc]

Beautiful

[@DoomAStiG007]

wow.nice.perfect calculation :)

[@9598dad]

i wish i were a spider so i could just sit around and do nothing but spin webs all day. such a simple life. no offence to spiders.

[@Backwardsman97]

yargh i hate walking into spider webs lol

[@DragonwriterX]

Was that a rattlesnake in the back round? Or just crickets?

[@cruvanel]

It seems you're scared of spiders.

[@Prettywitch99]

Lil buggy gonna get all dem flies

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Prettywitch99 Dem flies in da trap! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@saiyan24]

hahha I was watching Spider-Man tech and thats what brought me here

[@Lem-fg7yq]

Bruh i used to handle these when i was a kid, now im totally scared to even come close to one Lol

[@hurley5949]

that's my boy!

[@TheTugay434]

woow thats cool

[@juanitadavis8181]

that is a big ass spider.

[@rikojack2362]

Nice

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

ty

[@japaneseprincess26]

cool

[@Crafted_DreamScapes]

Alas it wont let me "thumbs Up" your comment :( In total agreement with you. Someone I know referred to their web making a "waste of time" - I couldn't help but mention that "If they didn't spin webs, as evolution would probably have it, they would then fly, no one wants a flying spider" >.< As an artist I find some species of spiders very beautiful, even though scary looking as long as it's not ON me - they are doing their part in the world - Natures little bug zappers lol.

[@AnusiaLA]

I have a similar large female banana spider in my veggie garden tent. She made an egg sack like a week ago. I keep feeding her stink bugs and I like watching her. I named her Charlotte :) I used to hate spiders and now I find them fascinating. Today I gave her 6 stink bugs and I tried to show her where the last one was by touching the web with a little stick. She started rocking her web back and forth... I have never seen her do that before. Was she trying to scare me away?

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Yes she was. That is one of the several defenses they do. They bob up and down, run to the edge of the web and hides under a leaf, and/or they would simply drop out of the webs. I personally think they've adapted to bob up and down to make it harder for wasps to hunt them... The same reason a lot of the A. Aurantias will make a barrier web. I find them very fascinating to watch! I'm going to soon post a compilation of all of these spiders aiming their abdomens to the sun on hot days! Thank you for watching my videos!

[@AnusiaLA]

IloveSPIDERZ Thanks for your reply! She kind of looked like she was getting ready to jump on me. I can't wait for the compilation video!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

No problem! Yeah, they probably won't do that. They can barely even see us, even more so because they are always facing down looking towards the ground. Sometimes they can sense your presence just because of the change of wind currents. I've spotted a couple up where I live (Albany, NY), and they are so skittish! I would find them like 10-20 feet away, and then they would just drop out of their webs. The ones down here in Virginia Beach don't usually do that, but they do bob up and down. I'm working on that video right now as we speak! :)

[@malarkybeasly07]

what the fudge is all that noise

[@Freal9198]

...so think again kids before destroying a spiders web..it may have taken him hours even days to finish it...

[@newsing33]

So beautiful. God creates such amazing creatures! :)

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Yes He does!

[@Labyrinthian-]

Evolution*

[@thenorgalofthehills5688]

Lori Worthey No words can describe how amazing and beautiful these spiders are.

[@AstroPotato9000]

***** God creation through evolution**

[@mfz7784]

***** Wrong*. If you believe in religion you believe the earth was made 5000-6000 years ago. when its actually 4.5 billion years old. Also you can't believe in god and evolution at the same time, since the bible says we were put here as humans.

[@shirokaminokageyami]

I ever catch that kind spiders. . .

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Siluman Gaz If you live anywhere between South Canada and Costa Rica, look for them in mid-august in sunny fields, meadows and riparian forests.

[@ThePatsboy]

spiders r sooo kool

[@xavierhernandez7961]

Cool

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+Xavier Hernandez Thank you!

[@NoobSlayer1137]

i love spiders

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

It is an Argiope Aurantia... You are right... But I'm using one of it's many common names to gain views. :)

[@13superdude2]

*oh gawd*

[@adamclaybourne]

once again i feel very stupid

[@AbadonBelial]

wow

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

I know, right?!

[@rcole718]

I have one of these in a bush outside of my house.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

They are really fun to watch!

[@rcole718]

IloveSPIDERZ Yes, especially when they catch something in the web. I witnessed a grasshopper accidentally jump in the web and that spider attacked and wrapped it up super fast.

[@rinokumura2680]

Wow

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+SirBaconNoodle Thank you!

[@Queenmarie88]

You ppl saying kill it now are just so stupid and ridiculous. Spiders may look scary and creepy but unless one is in your bed or trying to crawl on you---leave it alone!! It's just doing what it knows to do which is help the environment get rid of some true pests like flies and mosquitoes etc. Cant u just watch her and appreciate her for the amazing feat she's doing?? If u cannot there is something wrong in your head.

[@DatabassDubstep]

I feel itchy

[@Backwardsman97]

Yeah right

[@jjthejet69]

fucking wicked video man this was trippy, its like a sewing needle on one of its leg threading back and forth , each leg has a job ... pretty sick if u watch closely

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+JL FC FIRE MC It is! Thank you! It is very amazing how precise they are! It's like they were doing it their entire lives or something!

[@jennifers.3818]

good thing God didn't make me a spider my web would be a damn mess, I'd end up wrapping myself up in tht crap, it would be stuck all over me, all around every leg. it would just be a big ball of tangled mess lol. amazing how they make every move evenly

[@MsUndeadEyes]

lol don't kill it they do bite but they are not deadly ... more like a bee sting. I have walked into a ton of these spiders webs but they never jumped on me. I will say that they do hurt when you walk into them and they slap you right on the forehead.

[@Michaeljr215]

trust.

[@scottwlfc]

which are a type of animal.... thats like saying a dog isnt an animal, its a mammal -_-

[@role590]

pretty gross and yet AMAZING!

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+robi leybin It is, isn't it?!

[@allyswedd2081]

Fucking magic.

[@crillusmc]

their engineering beats ours.....;|

[@Benvemuzik91]

man that noise..like fuckin robot

[@soniciscool12345]

3 peoples have arachnephobia.

[@nicolewatterson2893]

How did you know it was a girl?

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

+John Dominic Hechanova Look up on my page or Google what an adult male looks like for the Argiope aurantia species, and you will definitely be able to tell! lol

[@nicolewatterson2893]

K.

[@IloveSPIDERZ]

Yeah, it is pretty unmistakable. haha
