Pterinochilus murinus, OBT Pairing

[@Leepbby]

I love the Little Orange Bitey things LOL🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁💗💗💗

[@Leepbby]

But I do not like when the male gets eaten .... I have a different opion of that but I guess it is what it already is there's no changing that now poor little guy 😢... I had typed the previous comment while I was watching prior to it's conclusion so I felt I needed to add the additional comment.... SOOO Sad 😔😔😔😔

[@jen4552]

I'm actually surprised NatGeo or some organization hasn't picked you up. The way you film, the way you narrate, it's all top notch.

[@tarantulamum4322]

I agree with you jen

One of my favorite species. Nicely done!

[@margaretmckay1281]

I really enjoyed that. Especially, the part where the male quickly comes backing out of the female's lair and shortly after that you see this large tarantula foot reach up and out of her bachelorette cave. It made me hold my breath. 😅

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thank you very much!

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Well, that was very educational. About her catching him, it's the circle of life.

[@JohnnysCafe_]

The pairing videos are fascinating and I find myself talking to the male "ok that's enough, back away, ohhhh too late!"

That was fascinating. The iridescent blue of the undersides of her legs was a surprise. Beautiful color! Poor little guy went out happy having, fingers crossed, done his job. Thanks Dave!

[@TrashParty]

She definitely killed him out of spite. You'd be upset too if somebody bend your back backwards that much 😂 I mean we all have our kinks but boy did he push his limits haha. Amazing video I hope you got a bunch of healthy younglings

[@wegan6221]

The males' behaviour is heroic. He knows the chances are high he is going to become her meal, but he continues and pushes forward to continue the cycle of the species, that is truly admirable. He has provided her with a good-sized meal to see her through as she produces the next generation, he did not die in vain.

[@ThomasThePanzerTank]

This is really awesome, I’ve watched other great videos about pairing but they’ve never really gone in depth play by play for the process. Really cool to see and have an understanding of this, Incredible work as always

For those who keep spiders and get upset, their own spiders' fathers were probably eaten before you bought the slings. we have to respect nature for what it is as this stuff happens even with intervention with people keep up the good work dave, big fan!

Well ole Dave,my boy,this reminds me of a country song by Ronnie Milsap. Being that I'm unaware of how much USA country music you folks get,allow me to sing a few lines for ya. "You make my eyes Run over All the time You're happy when I'm out of my mind You don't love me But you won't Let me be Don't you ever Get Tired Of hurting meeeee.

[@Michael-DL]

The video clearly shows me that I'm glad I don't keep a spider at home. My cat Filou is hairy too and that's enough for me. Thanks Dave for the video that I watched to the bitter end. When I was still an arachnophobic I couldn't have seen it. Thanks for your work.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Well done I’m glad you managed to see the whole video 👍

[@bobbibuttons8730]

Absolutely amazing video Dave. The clarity was amazing and if you blinked you’d have missed the fatal strike. I can’t wait to see the babies. I’d love one of your babies but shame hubby is still arachnophobia.

[@WaltRBuck]

I have a good friend that is a true arachnophobe. When he comes over, he's not aloud NEAR my room. It's okay though, because he's agreed. Haha

[@marcellacruser951]

I wonder if his reluctance in the middle was that she was vibing something a bit predatory to him that we'll never know. Upon refection, if I was an OBT, I'd have probably eaten my second husband.

[@nicoladolby2154]

Fantastic video Dave. I have 7 P. murinus and I absolutely love them! All this talk of them being ‘bitey’ things is rubbish. Yes, they as fast as lightening, but I’ve never seen aggressive/defensive behaviour from any of mine. I currently have 3 NCF, 3 UMV (all juveniles) and one AF Tete variant (which I’m desperate to find a male for). Keep up the great work Dave and Love Your Spid😀😀😀

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Nice collection 👍

[@mypetsandme9473]

That was brilliant and you could see the iridescent colours on the legs , especially on hers . Yes that’s their natural behaviour isn’t it to gobble up the male if he’s unlucky & this time he was just unlucky . Looking forward to seeing the development of the slings. Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻 😊

[@Solitude11-11]

Wow the clarity on that footage, fantastic. I didn’t have audio issues on my iPad. Poor little guy, but it was quick and I suppose the alternative is just dying of old age, which isn’t a great deal of fun either.

Wow what a visually striking spider the OBT is incredible blue on the females legs. The speed at the end to subdue the male is very impressive indeed. A fantastic video.

[@TaltharaKaelthas]

She was sick of his shit lol.

[@loganbaileytarantulabehavi1574]

Dave. You make a good point of how quick he gave up. I have spent many years with this specie. I feel that when a male has already paired prior to the new pairing the female can tell by his action and vibrations. Almost saying I'm experienced and am at the end. Which I feel is his way to let the female know if we have successfully paired you can eat me. That why he hesitated so much before the pairing was good. He kinda knew she was experienced and so was he. Kinda a gift from him to her for food. Her last meal before motherhood. I think they communicate more deeply than we understand. Just my thoughts. But most of my males that get eaten by my females already had a pairing with another female.

[@loganbaileytarantulabehavi1574]

Maybe they know more than we think... And the female will somtimes let the male go free if he is a first timer. Kinda to give him more time to meet more females. I'm sure there is the exception to the rule but I feel a good healthy female knows when the male is spent and best kept for food to ensure healthy babies to be born.

[@loganbaileytarantulabehavi1574]

Just like we could tell if an old person was trying to mate with a younger female. She would know he is an old fart. Lol

[@gutz323]

@@loganbaileytarantulabehavi1574 in humans, the young female would take the old fart, (male) for every penny he has got, and not his life Lol! But which ever way you look at it it will take a lot of time off of the males life.

[@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

I found your channel back in January, and since, I've..... AMAZINGLY... completely changed my attitude about spiders. I'm still uncomfortable around large spiders, primarily as I don't want to get scared and harm them, but house spiders, I can both deal with, or if necessary kill. I do irrigation for my city, and opening irrigation boxes lately I've been allowed to see some beautiful black widows, massive mommas with hourglasses, and other red spots on them. They are honestly amazing creatures, with alien and strange biological features, and behaviors. I find myself apologizing aloud when I have to clear their webs, as I know it likely means the spider will die from the lack of energy to build another one. Beautiful things. I even have found myself considering them cute. Honestly, I'm amazed at hoe just watching your appreciation of them has infected me with admiration for terrestrial arachnids. Thank you

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That’s amazing my friend, I wouldn’t worry too much about clearing the webbing as they will rebuild 👍👍

[@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

@@daveslittlebeasties honestly thats good to know. ^_^

[@gutz323]

@@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo wouldn't have thought a spider would die from not having the energy to build another Web after it is destroyed, unless it is at the end of its life. Spiders a generally resilient, and can go without food for anything from weeks to a couple of years depending on the species
