For These Tiny Spiders, It's Sing or Get Served | Deep Look

Male jumping spiders perform courtship dances that would make Bob Fosse proud. But if they bomb, they can wind up somebody's dinner instead of their mate.

During courtship, the male jumping spider performs an exuberant dance to get the female’s attention. Like a pint-sized Magic Mike working for twenties, he shimmies from side to side, waves his legs, and flaps his front appendages (called pedipalps) in her direction.
If she likes what she sees, the female may allow him to mate. But things can also go terribly wrong for these eight-legged suitors. She might decide to attack him, or even eat him for lunch. Cannibalism is the result about seven percent of the time.
These mating rituals were first described more than 100 years ago. Their study took on a new dimension, however, when scientists discovered that the males also sing when they attempt to woo their lady loves.
By rubbing together their two body segments, equipped with a comb-shaped instrument, the males create vibrations that travel through the ground. The female spiders can “hear” the male songs through ear-like slits in their legs, called sensilla.
A male spider’s coordination of the dance and the song seems to affect his reproductive success - in other words, his ability to stay alive during this risky courtship trial. But what exactly the signals mean remains mysterious to scientists.
Scientists ultimately hope to understand how a female decides whether she’s looking at a stud - or a dud.
--- Where do jumping spiders get their name?
Jumping spiders don’t spin webs to catch food. They stalk their prey like cats. They use their silk as a drag line while they hop around.
--- What do jumping spiders eat?
Jumping spiders are carnivorous and eat insects like flies, bees, and crickets.
--- Where do jumping spiders live?
A map of jumping spider habitat looks like the whole world! Tropical forests contain the greatest number, but they live just about everywhere, even the Himalayan Mountains.

We have technology that lets you hear spiders. But instead, I'm just going to say "thump, thump, thump, thump."

[@Toastmaster_5000]

I knew jumping spiders did a dance, but the song is fascinating. It's also really interesting to me to see the female thinking. She's making a real-time _decision_ - wait, eat, or mate. In an intelligence perspective, this is a really big deal.

[@lolno2068]

Or it could be a few instinctual binaries, like; 1. Is she healthy? No? Step 2 Yes? Step 3 2. Is she Currently hungry? Yes? Step 7 No? Step 5 3. Is his dance good? Yes? Step 6 No,? Step 4 4. Is he weak enough to catch super easily? Yes? Step 2 No? Step 5 5. Reject, maybe he can come back later. Step 8 6. Mate, then ask, Are you hungry now? Yes? Step 7. No? Step 8. 7. Eat him. 8. Do nothing.

Some sort of spuder version of WAP material the spider bro should make or else !

[@ashiad.669]

Just when I thought jumping spiders couldn’t get any cuter I learn they make songs and have jazz hands. My ♥️

[@Baul3680]

Oooo thats a cute spider "Its a jumping spider" Nvm

[@mrpitpull4108]

Jumping spider is actually harmless

[@herrscherofsweets9583]

Jump jump lil spidy

[@HieroOnymos]

Jumping spider is very tiny and harmless, it actually helps you to kill annoying pests like flies and mosquitos (and it eats them), it will be scary if you kill it accidently this adorable creature.

[@howdidyoufindme7653]

🤣

[@HieroOnymos]

@No Body You can find them somewhere in woods, rocks on near of your backyard, or in dark and quiet place like storage room or in basement or even under of your furniture like bed, but the problem is they are very shy and it is hard to catch beacause they jump really fast, you need speed enough your reflexes to catch one. But you don't need to catch one, they appear in your wall or somewhere near you especially when night and they hunt for some food such as bugs and mosquitoes.

[@simosavustaja9420]

For some reason commentators voice is really nice, you are female version of david attenborough. Not as calm, but you make this show even more interesting. The video quality is maybe the best in youtube or anywhere else.

[@KQEDDeepLook]

+Simo Savustaja thank you, to be compared to Sir David is high praise.

[@ABW941]

Keep up the good work and you will get your own research vessel named after you... just after a funnier name was rejected.

[@orawal]

Simo Savustaja so so so true!!! that voice adds so much!!!

[@mermaidpill]

i really enjoy the way in verse two, the male lifts up his front legs when the boom happens. extra jazzy and snazzy

[@duesalbladesinger7900]

I would HATE to be a male spider. D:

[@khaledhuds1420]

you are a male human that is basically worse

[@duesalbladesinger7900]

Khaled Hudhud Not worse for ME, which is what I was talking about. I'm not risking my life as a male human when I attempt to court a woman where as if I were a spider I'd be dancing with death.

[@Kavriel]

Well at least when we get rejected we don't get out face bitten off. There's that.

[@alilcritter]

Oh shit

[@khaledhuds1420]

At least they are not getting friendzoned... that is a fate worse than death

[@rydernigga5675]

Whose your favorite artist? Lil jumping spider

[@greatgalder9328]

What a tiny bootiful dancer!!

[@ancient_shield]

Imagine being a baby male spider Baby Male: Mommy will a girl ever like me? Mom: I don’t know sweety, each girl is different, some might say yes, some might say no, or some might just eat you, it all depends on the girl That’s something to look forward to

[@alerted8770]

Just imagine....

[@shkooni]

These jumping spiders are actually cute.

[@pizzareeya3760]

The little flick at the end of those jazz hands made me literally LOL

[@muodypl2]

Jumping spiders - dubstep gods.

[@mcapril291]

Oh lawd he twerkin!😂

[@empressireneabitfishcrazy]

I. LOVE. JUMPING. SPIDERS! They are so cute! They are small, and they look up at you with these cute darn eyes! And they jump! Aaahhh~

[@JaJatheJetplane]

Female spider: oh you're approaching me? Male spider: I cant mate with you without getting closer
