Daddy long-legs spider vs.House Spider

This is a film I made of a Daddy Long-Legs Spider fighting a house spider which wondered into the wrong territory. Who do you think will win?

[@SoNoFTheMoSt]

just saw this in my room the daddylong legs spiders are the best, they dont mess about or move too much, and theyre taking out the bigger more creapy spiders, best house pet ever

[@xxhatchetwarrior13xx]

There is no other creepy spider

[@Lioness006]

agreed. but they love to breed in my bathroom. baby spiders everywhere, once the egg sac hatches.

[@ibrahimasmart6332]

nah, my first is the jumping spider, then cellar spider.

Daddy Long Legs aint even spiders

[@PopeAssassins]

cellar spiders a mans best friend

[@Lioness006]

i knew the Daddy Longlegs would win. they're fast, stealthy, and opportunistic. they're even cannibals and will eat their own kind, as well as other spiders.

[@bctiger575]

All spiders are cannibals to be fair

[@chronicyouth3288]

[@ian4920]

@@chronicyouth3288 Yes, the communal spider gave the silk structures they build their name, you might say they put the 'we' in 'web' - Comrade spiders, they're called - all the flies and other insects they catch are taken are confiscated by the more deceptive Apparatchik - a derivative species of the Comrade spider - who tricks them with mimicry by first appearing as a fellow Comrade spider but ultimately tricks them... Unfortunately many Comrade spiders resort to cannibalism then die due to starvation. True story guv, onest! :D

This just happened in my room. I love daddy long legs.

[@Talbot6832]

Cellar spiders are 'bad ass', however, their cobwebs are an annoyance on ceilings and stuff.

[@theworthysoul]

True but they’re hardly visible at least in a well lit room. Plus they sweep away easily if abandoned.

[@BlueKungFu]

Cellar spiders are the arachnophobes friend! I have terrible arachnophobia but like you I don't mind them at all. I think it's their thin, hair-like legs and their tiny bodies, the fact that they don't move particularly fast and they don't come dashing out at you from under things. I actually welcome the cellar spider in my home and ensure I have loads of them living here. This video shows exactly why I do that!

[@BlueKungFu]

Yes do so, I can recommend it! Honestly it really does keep the population of other spiders down. I try to keep at least one in each room. I even let a cellar spider set up its home next to my bed, as that helped me sleep at night!

[@australovenatortomino_1741]

Miss A Peal next to your bed you say? Do you know that they climb down in the night?

[@aspiknf]

Better fight than Endgame

[@rubik909]

Wow, great footage, and the sound design was epic. Thanks for posting this!

[@elias7858]

I remember my dad downloaded this when I was about 6 or 7 because our wifi is almost unusable even facebook is hard to use so he had to download many videos usually spiders cuz Im a huge fan of spider since I was 3....ahhhhh memories

[@christopherfuentes6849]

I dont like any spiders but if I had to pick which one I like more.. def cellar

[@miltzjr.5221]

This was a victory I didn't expect to see

[@Hashpotato]

amazing video, the lighting, the angles it was shot from, the music, are perfect and with national geographic quality into the bargain! great stuff

[@SolariusScorch]

Great material, really great. Especially for something recorded with household equipment.

[@NHower]

Very well done. You really made it tense and interesting. Had there been a deep-voiced narrator, I would have thought I was watching National Geographic. Good job.

[@Mysterioux]

I've seen this sort of thing happen in my room before, except the house spider wasn't even caught in a web. It was just dashing about, and the daddy-long-legs grabbed onto it and managed to subdue it. And the crane-fly, the spindly spider, and the harvestman spider are all nicknamed "daddy-long-legs".

[@BubbleStinkBoy]

Those are some great film actors!

[@danbuckneree]

great video. wow. now i have to reexamine my lack of fear for the daddy long leg. awesome video

[@SuperShroomieGaming]

That was great! Serious thought the house was going to win but no haha; was on the edge of my seat.

[@em_mkay]

I love these guys.

[@jajatube]

OMG I love the sound effects. Great movie!

[@prophetmargin]

whoaaa. Nice tactics there, mister longlegs.

[@cheekychen]

really nice video. nice soundtrack too. well done

[@musicman195959]

I thought the skinny leg spider was toast. Wow. Excellent video.

[@data790]

Well shot video, thank you for uploading this.

[@omgdan23]

wow thats pretty amzing man!!i never new a daddy long legs could do that to a house spider...AMAZING 5/5

Now that looks like one wrapped tasty treat there at the end! ;)

[@flashchrome]

Great filming, cutting and music. Good work.

[@JarrodDrover123]

that house spiders going to be in my nightmares

[@YewDuct]

Great capture. I found one hugging its bound victim recently....then got rid of the pair of them!

[@snapper842002]

this is one of the best on youtube

[@WurstInno]

What a great video! I am amazed by this artful piece!

[@tomritter493]

can you be allergic to the webs and how do you get rid of them if you know?

[@Angultra]

Wow I didn't expect that, took out the bigger spider like a boss.

[@bloodriotiori]

WOW! that was not the ending i was expecting, don't mess with those things :)

[@josiehatchet]

Excellent. We are in the UK and have Pholcidae spiders in our house. They are the most elegant, yet spooky spiders I have observed. They move so slowly but you see them, look away and then they are the other side of the ceiling. I have watched mothers guard a clutch of eggs, a larger house spider approaches, you think "oh dear that fragile thing is in trouble" yet every next morning the Long Legs sits safely with her eggs, a large bundle suspended below. Superb, beautiful and scary.

[@jkjerome1]

Used to be all house spiders here - has been all my life - but over the last couple of years have noticed them being all replaced by these long bodied spiders. Would love to know where they originate. Also saw some extremely weird tropical looking spiders in the garden when down in Kent last year.

[@mbz25]

where i live we get massive daddy long legs insides and house spiders but i recently discovered 100s of smaller long legs in my garden and i was freaking out!

[@flyingcumshot]

Very good, i love these spiders.

[@catlover9864]

This is going down my chills

[@konanrocksmysocks]

nice filming and that was so unexpected

[@bigmeknurgle]

Now that's a meal and a half, even for a daddy long legs.

[@ShootBigBucks]

If it doesn't pay rent, then it has to go.

[@zechatron_2713]

Lmao

[@aspiknf]

But your dog doesn’t pay rent either

[@RNSDM]

If spiders could talk he'd be telling that house wife spider. Whos your daddy!!! Whos your daddy!!!

[@rhdaehoidar]

I don't have this luck. In my washing room downstairs there are both species, and unfortunately they seem to co-exist :S had to take out a house spider nest the other day. Wanted to keep the daddy long legs around, because I heard they exactly do this, but apparently not in my house. Amazing capture by the way, kudos.

[@cantugabe]

@nyhyl do they stay put or no? i found one of these cellar spiders in my house and i'm not sure what to do. from what i read they are harmless. before i found this one i kept finding hobo spiders but since ive found these ive seen no hobo spiders

[@limbdarkening]

Nicely done!

[@ACandWasherfan127]

I just woke up and I saw the thumbnail as a very quality picture 💀

[@stevenh7842]

I love cellar spiders. I had one living in my room for a while. They keep the big tegenaria spiders away which is especially a problem now it's almost September

[@Ol.Norman]

gr8 work with the vid mate. like watchin a little documentary. lol.

[@Y2KNW]

I imagine the house spider's thinking: "Well, this is ironic."

[@SmokeyBCN]

in the UK we call cellar spiders (Pholcidae), Harvestmen (Opiliones) and Crane Flies (Tipulidae) all daddy long legs so there is confusion.

[@Walshy512]

It's like a spider slap-fight.

[@msoulja]

agreed, the vid looked almost professional

[@dbadgones]

your so right dude, one day the made a daddy longlegs bite a human, but it only left a little pinch, the deadly posion of that spider is just a myth

[@ShaunRF]

VERY well made video.

[@9Shahrukh9]

LOL! 1:38 through 1:40 daddy long legs looked like it was like boxing lol

[@kstewskis]

I've had cellar spiders around my front porch for a few years...I just went out and some HUGE monster of a spider (not sure what it is, big and brown, about 3" long, big belly, no distinguishable markings so it's not a recluse, thankfully) is sitting there on the threshold...and no more cellar spiders!

[@wwondertwin]

This is why there's a ton of other spiders right outside my windows but even if I keep windows open they don't come in. All the ones that come get eaten by my pet pholcids.

[@Oxyrhynchos]

The claws of this tiny spider could never puncture a human dermis....

[@NeilDinsmore]

shhhh!! the first rule of spider fight club is you NEVER talk about spider fight club!

[@TheFishDimension]

"daddy long-legs" is a generic term and can refer to several different species of arthropods. the cellar spider (this one), harvestmen (the one-segmented guys), and in some cases crane flies.

[@DannleChannel]

Harvestmen and cellar spiders are both called daddy long legs in the US, and cellar spiders (which is what's in this video) are true spiders.

[@kissing88]

@dbuschhorn You're thinking of "harvestmen". The "daddy long legs" shown here is actually a spider, as it spins web. The term "daddy long legs" is used by lay people to refer to more than one species.

[@gaybetch]

i always thought daddy long legs were dangerous until I watched Honey We Shrunk Ourselves xD

[@skypiercer03]

its like watching discovery channel nicely done!!

[@AKFullyLoaded]

@KoD4CK What makes you think that? i thought it was either a black widow or funnel web lolz

[@Kimimarududeman]

Wow! I never knew that a spider could get caught in another spider's web.

[@Arodblade]

I love the awkward pause when the two are next to each other. It's like "So uhh...FUCK YOUR SHIT MAN THIS WEB AIN'T BIG ENOUGH FOR THE TWO OF US!!"

[@benhall4141]

That's pretty cool

[@GnarlyTango]

Nice! Kinda makes me wanna put daddies all around my house. No bugs would ever fuck with me then haha

[@cyber8000]

The shoe is the spider's worst nightmare

[@Cockmongler]

I should mention that pill bugs are (I think) members of the arachnid family, so a hobo spider eating a pill bug would be like eating a distant relative.

[@SkullFucked911]

its guna take allot of strength to watch this

[@robno1]

Possibly my favourite spider, purely based on the fact they take no shit from other, bigger spiders

[@R0KURU]

....was not expecting that

[@TheSteelStallion]

@excalbr15 It's a Daddy Long Legs SPIDER. It shares the Daddy Long Legs name with both the Harvestman (eight legged, with round small pod shaped body), and the Crane Fly which looks like a Mosquito, and flies like a drunk helicopter pilot.

[@jwebzpsn]

A spider being tangled in a spider web....how ironic.

[@ertwyu]

No, as I said, go look it up. There was even a Mythbusters experiment where a guy got bit multiple times by Daddy Longlegs, or "Harvestmen," as they should be called. He didn't die, he only suffered minor inflammation at the site of the bites. Where did you hear that it was a proven fact that it was the most venomous spider? I haven't seen any scientific articles say that.

[@spazdaraz]

I think harvestmen is a different kind and has no web

[@someblokecalleddave1]

Is it the case that the scrawny Daddy Long legs is the most aggressive spider here in the UK and can take out any of the big old heavyweight house spiders which have fangs that are enormous visible and you feel if the bleeders bite you! I had a steatoda grossa in my garage here in Essex a year ago - the only one ever - looked like a black widow - nice specimen!

[@BCJ1985]

Yes it is - there are three separate species of invertebrate known as "Daddy longlegs". This is one of them.

[@TheGiandude]

that house spider looks like a funnel web

[@misao1414]

love it! ^_^

[@RBEO22]

Spiders are the single most misunderstood species.

[@coralbay00]

so true. formidable predators in their own environment. Small jaws, no 'muscle' but plenty of webbing and venom.

[@Moodster020]

It strapped it up in its silk & cacooned it. Kept it at arms length by it's, err, long legs

[@TridgeTV]

would never have expected that... you know what they say though... rule of spider fight club is, if its your first night... you have to fight

[@xxhatchetwarrior13xx]

I hate daddy long legs I wish the house spider woulda won I hope no daddy long leg saw this comment.

[@CopperheadAirsoft]

+ChatterBock why? do they creep u out for some reason?

[@xxhatchetwarrior13xx]

Stingray25555 V Its the long skinny legs that creep me out

[@CopperheadAirsoft]

oh you shouldn't be afraid of those actually some spiders like that have black and whit bandings on their elbows. and the spider that u were seeing was a cellar spider fighting the house spider.

[@ChurKirby]

You serious? They're the one spider that doesn't bother me at all, it's the big bodied ones I can't stand. house spiders creep me the fuck out - daddy long legs are spiderbros

[@SuperDavi5]

there were a bunch of daddy long legs at where I live not in the house but outside they were harmless now we don't see them but still are awesome also called a Cellar Spider.

[@wwppss1]

ah, thanks, also as i go deeper in my internet search, almost anything is call a daddy long legs, from fly's to real spiders to fake spiders to plants

[@Screaming-On-Edge.]

Literally this in my bathroom now

[@x1ofakind1x]

how does the daddy long leg pierce the other spiders flesh if it has no teeth? does it have liek a straw mouth like a mosquito?

[@evalisehjenjensen9559]

There is a one down at the foot of the stairs outside my room, i claimed it as my friend to my boyfriend who knows im not a fan of spiders (or creepy crawlies in general, i Don't hurt them so i have asked them not to bother me in return!) He asked me why and i went straight to KZbin looking for exactly this content!

[@xXAISPXx]

Can someone clarify why the harvestman and cellar spiders are both called daddy long legs? Which one had the rumors of being the most venomous spider?

[@Lee-ji5pv]

That happen right now, there was was black house spider near me and flake it away and it got caught in a web and the other spider literally decapitated the black house spider. Im so thankful.

[@merrimac290]

i didn't know spiders caught other spiders in their webs.

[@1970groupie]

I love them too and welcome them as house guests. I've seen them kill many nasty looking white-tailed spiders in my laundry and bedroom(horror!) and seen several shrivelled up scorpions in their webs in my kitchen(how these get in I don't know!). They also kill huntsmens.

[@SuperSaiyanMetalHead]

that's not the harmless daddy long leg, that's the male spider trying to mate i think

[@vish4617]

best horror movie ever

[@jkjkjij22]

so much cooler with music from the inception soundtrack
