Beautiful spider nice set up

[@ScottsInverts]

Thank you Cathy

[@blacktiger675]

I've always called them Cross Weavers😊 The ones we've got here in Oregon look almost identical! Gorgeous!! I love catching bugs to toss into their webs. I had a lil juvi make it's web right outside my door and I'd break one corner to get out, lol. Every evening she'd remake it and this went on for 5 days! She finally moved just to the side of door and now is undisturbed. 💖

[@ScottsInverts]

Aawww bless her ❤️

[@tarantu-leah]

We have a close cousin here in the states! Great video Scott! Thank you for all the info!

[@ScottsInverts]

Thank you Leah, you guys have some amazing creatures on your door step

[@themantisgarden]

I'm a day behind...I used to have one of these guys that lived on a plant on my window next to me for ages. Looked for it every day lol and sometimes it would web up across the window as well. I think orb weavers are well under appreciated.

[@ScottsInverts]

Extremely over looked and just shows what we have and yet not alot interested in them, our garden fence has tons of them

[@scrypteque8687]

this is so useful thank you SO much!

[@ScottsInverts]

Most welcome 🙏

[@michaeltaylor2449]

STUNNING wee Spider we have a few massive spiders near my old shed I dont use it as its falling apart but left it for all the spiders its covered in them lol

[@ScottsInverts]

Bet there's tons

[@michaeltaylor2449]

@@ScottsInverts there is a few wood louse spiders too they get massive

[@abfmkarin]

I finally got a female and a male in my flat.The male is at the massive 10 foot drop window. The female is living in my Monstera opposite which is quite a large plants.She was very careful and hid when I saw her.After a few days of talk she understood that I am no threat and can get right up to her. After she got used to me she started to expand her net and unfortunatley connected to my curtain which I broke when I opened the curtain I tried to talk to her again that this not a good idea and she stopped using the curtain after I broke her net twice.Then this time after that she made a massive net, and I mean massive and was sitting right in the middle as if she was proud to show me that she has learnt, when I came back home after night work. So I gave her two of my organically grown mealworms and she had some flies that day. Unfortunately one string was attached to the corner of one of my bird cages and I forgot that it was there and broke her net again.I talked to beautiful Elizabeth again and this morning her web was a bit smaller but in the right places for me not to break it.I love higly skilled predators as they learn so fast.I need to get me a compartment for her when I move soon.

[@ScottsInverts]

Not only are they beautiful, but I think there intelligence is extremely over looked and prob not even thought about in most cases

[@susanneegli8018]

Great!! Thank you for this nice Video!! But something would be interessting to know - the cross-spider needs to eat some insects!! - Have not seen in this terrarium some living insects!!!???

[@ScottsInverts]

I feed it twice weekly flick a flightless fly on the webbing or small red runner they catch in there Web so free running insects on the floor would be almost pointless as they rarely leave the webb

[@faunasanctum]

Beautiful, I keep a few UK native spiders, too ;) a couple of Common false widow spiders (Steatoda bipunctata), and a Giant House Spider (Eratigena atrica) :D

[@ScottsInverts]

I have also a false widow it laid 2 sacs so far and hatched

[@faunasanctum]

@@ScottsInverts they do seem to be prolific breeders, I keep finding them all over the place 😅

Hello great video information and updates Scott

[@ScottsInverts]

Cheers moon

[@craigscritterworld]

Boom brilliant video again ginge

[@ScottsInverts]

Thank you Craig

[@rhysphillips7017]

Awesome video bro these guys are soo cool and what a stunning set up you've made for her 😀

[@ScottsInverts]

Thank you

[@joannegalway1226]

Awesome video Scott. Used to see lots off these on the hedges sitting on their webs! 💙🕷️

[@ScottsInverts]

Hedges and wooden fences I see them

[@tarantularamblings3149]

well she chose the right house to walk into 😂its one way to get new spiders without upsetting the enemy . These are super cool especially when they get really big .

[@ScottsInverts]

Hahaha. Lmao 🤣 🤣 They don't get bigger then around 10-18mm. Males are tiny 5mm at a push

[@tarantularamblings3149]

@@ScottsInverts I know but an 18mm one of these seems huge .

[@jammywesty91]

Great vid mate. Got some of the biggest I've seen in a long time at the moment. Glad the bloody false widows haven't rocked their numbers too much (for now). Their webbing is abnormally tough; I knocked a broom over a few years back and an orb weavers web caught the thing mid-fall.

[@ScottsInverts]

I was surprised by the webbing strength too, only just recently found a black with white marking sane sp as in the video but alot bigger

[@JasonBooth79]

Twigs or leaves hot glued up around a corner of the room works perfect, that's a lot nicer though! I wish I had an enclosure, I just found a really weird looking one I've never seen before, trying to decide on a corner lol. Looks like a snail shell, and makes a vertical line of boluses from the top of web to bottom as decoys or something. That time of year for sure, my I. mira has a parsons spider living with her now. I'm sure almost every spider has a wolf spider too now, had like 400 hatch out in here. Will be interesting as time goes on to see how many actually got away, and survived, damn things are tiny.

[@ScottsInverts]

Maybe not many will survive but there's a llways a chance

[@JasonBooth79]

@@ScottsInverts Yeah maybe. maybe an instar or 2 lol, if they're useful to the T eating mites or something 😂

[@The-Spider-King]

Another great video Scott ❤ I really wanna find a wasp spider 😍

[@ScottsInverts]

Wasp spider look stunning, really interesting behaviour top

[@TheVenom46]

Great video Scott. I'm really intrigued to keep these spiders. How long do the females tend to live? Cheers

[@ScottsInverts]

They tend to die towards the end of autumn unless you take them inside, mine from last year (the one in video) is still going.

[@xIsaacCantu]

These ones made it all the way to washington! I just caught one about a week ago and its eating! Its huge!! Hoping to keep it alive through winter! It looks like a juvenile still. Any advice on care routines?

[@ScottsInverts]

I keep mine with damp dubstrate and around 22-24 in the same room as.the tarantulas, I feed flies when I can catch one that is lol and any other small prey items , throw prey onto the Web once a week

[@moodyshrew]

Great video! If you keep her indoors in the fall/winter, will she survive?

[@ScottsInverts]

She will pass away in the wild naturally in the fall, I'm wondering with constant warm temp and food she may last longer with me

[@Le_Furret]

I have one. But had to take it from outside. Anyway it would die from canadian winter soon. The thing is that im worry about eggs. Its the end of october and i hope if she had eggs she already layed them outside. I dont want undreads of tiny spider going out of my terrarium. But i dont find any tips about their eggs and prevent it

[@ScottsInverts]

If you get sac, then you could hatch them in separate container ?

[@PancakesR4TheWeak]

This is an emergency! I need a help with a yellow garden orb weaver care guide..We have a very pretty female in our yard by our AC that just broke and it’s going to need to be replaced. Her web is attatched to it and she’d probably be killed. I would like to keep her, and I don’t know if they have simular care to these orb weavers or how often they should be fed etc..

[@ScottsInverts]

If its the same size just setup the same ,I'd guess msg me on fb or insta

What are you feeding her?

[@ScottsInverts]

First hatchling red runners, and fruit flies , she seems more ready to take the flies

[@keithnevinvincent1577]

I found a hentz orb weaver can I do this with it????

[@ScottsInverts]

I'd increase temps tho if flordia variant but should be good
