finding WILD TARANTULAS and BLACK WIDOWS!

thank you again Peter! instagram.com/fieryronin/

I love this video very informative to kat🙏🏽🤎🙏🏽🤎🙏🏽

hi

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

I really appreciate you asking people not to say where the place is to avoid people going to take animals. Thank you!

[@locabynature]

funny seeing you here. 🤣 I think you and I watch a lot of the same channels. 🤣

[@missdire]

@@theimplication9784 Kindly see your way out.

[@NMW80]

@@theimplication9784 just no. You know if you say the name of this place all them Ts will be taken out the wild. There is plenty in pet stores we don’t need to be taking anymore out the wild. This is how species end up endangered.

[@troyandskyelar9588]

Just remember folks - don’t go taking them from the wild. Here in Australia we’ve had several populations absolutely decimated by overcollecting. You may think “oh it’s just one” but if lots think the same thing then it’s lots of animals gone.

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

My Texas brown ,Lily is wild caught,I am trying to breed her to release the babies back where I found her.

[@CheezayBallz]

@@bugloverspiderlover8490 Is that such a good idea? I heard it's not good releasing animals back into the wild that you have bred. You could introduce diseases into the wild. Unless you make very sure that there is zero cross-contamination from other animals in your collection. But I could be wrong tho.

[@jordanzlotolow8254]

let em go

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

@@CheezayBallz it should be fine all my other pets are healthy and disease free.

[@jhowardsupporter]

It's fine. Australia is second in the world when it comes to loss of biodiversity anyway. So with human behaviour and climate change most animals will go extinct soon so you won't have to worry about it.

[@baikia777]

10:20 you can see what she ate previously like beetles and stuff. She lined her burrow entrance with boluses like hunters decorate their home with antlers lol

[@baconbacon7619]

I know any black widows not in captivity are wild, but it's weird seeing them out in the wild, and not in a garage or shed or something lol

[@MFNBBROACH]

Not even sure how I came across this video, but glad I did. I don't understand the hate A. Hentzi gets. Had one show up in my kitchen one morning, and it's been the best T ever.

[@GirlofCulture]

Spider under the rock. "Yawn.. is it summer yet?..O.o a giant..ahhhh!" It's so amazing what kind of animals, you have in your countryside.. Lovely tour thank you guys. Also thanks to the shoe-grabber

[@mikemullikin8942]

That was really cool! I live just across the river in Edwardsville. I used to find all kinds of scorpions, spiders, lizards and frogs in the woods behind my house. Most of that wooded area is unfortunately gone now. I really appreciate the disclaimer at the beginning and that you made a family outing out of the experience. Another great video by my favorite KZbinr. Every blessing!

[@tarantulakat]

very cool! thank you! I was focusing on what we were doing and having fun more than filming it .. but now that I know where to look I can return and more carefully film/photograph another time!

[@eekabee]

I volunteered here in high school and I loved finding all the spiders and scorpions to show to visitors.

[@jinnbell4017]

This was awesome! I love that you're instilling a such sense of wonder in your little one. I have a daughter younger than yours and I can't wait to take nature walks with her.

[@justinkaboutit7047]

Seeing her kiddo wander around with her was very close to home my daughter is 3 and a half and we go on nature walks all the time♡ she loves finding cool things like frogs and snakes and salamanders♡

[@hubabaloop]

I love how Kat just wants to see everything and is concerned w the animals comfort! I love how she chose not coax out the larger tarantula

[@Chihome]

This was so fun to watch! Fascinated with black widows!

[@jaungiga]

When you found that striped bark scorpion, I instictively worried for a second because down here strips mean Tityus trivittatus, the only scorpion of medical significance we have. But I guess your trivittatus is not as spicy as ours which is a good thing, of course

I really loved the video. Thank you so much. Because of a health issue, I can't really get out anymore so being able to come with you on an adventure into nature is excellent. :)

[@KarinMichelle]

I live next to a creek & have a blast going through it in the summer. There's snakes, frogs, crawfish, actual fish skinks all in a creek between my neighborhood & these apartments. It's insane the amount of wildlife found in a 4 foot wide 1-2 foot deep stream with no trees & sometimes completely dry when it doesn't rain it's rained a lot this past month or two so I know that creek is full of critters right now

[@strays998]

I love that you get so excited about everything!! I live a couple miles from where I believe you are. I would never say where it is. I never knew we have scorpions in Missouri. Thanks so much for filming this!

[@tarantulakat]

there were so many of them! he said if you return when it's even warmer in the summer, lots will be out crawling around with babies on their back

[@strays998]

Wow, that’s so cool! My husband and I need to go out there soon with a camera. I can’t wait to go after seeing your video!

[@Rat2rrj]

[@mikiahjohnson7199]

Walking around in the forest near my house is by far my favorite thing to do just to see all the wildlife and take pictures for inspiration later on for paintings😄

[@Katiethewizard]

I always hate how fast those skinks are, they never let you get close enough to appreciate them😭

[@jaschabull2365]

I know, right? They're right up there with the grasshoppers I see in the summer (I live too far north to see wild skinks, but I've seen some lizards the times I've travelled further south).

[@jhowardsupporter]

Hahaha! I found one that refused to move. It was on the cycling path soaking up the heat. I had to protect it from cyclist. I nudged it with everything and it would not move.

[@blastoff3356]

The most relatable factor in this video is the excited speed walking towards things

[@dorabrooks76]

Brilliant video! Thanks so much for taking us along with you!! And thanks to Peter for being such a great guide! I love the look the lizard is giving at 11:33- it's like, "excuuuse you"!

Glad to see my Spider Queen out n havin fun!

[@ThatOneGirlThatPlays]

This video reminded me of a much older KZbin channel with very few subscribers called Bob The Spider Hunter. He also had some really great advice a while back about raising jumping spider slings and how to move them safely without hurting them.

[@Sadako-Yamamura]

This was a really nice video, relaxing yet exciting! Thank you for taking us with you on this trip. I'm sure lots of us had fun!

[@nettag.1972]

I had no idea we had scorpions! That was cool!!

[@Geodude_476]

Super cool vid! Not suprising but kudos for the respect shown observing and and making sure to return everything as it was to try and leave as minimal footprint as possible.Would love to see more!

[@carlydeboer5903]

I did enjoy that, since I stay out of tick play zones. Totally awesome to see a wild tarantula in its habitat.

[@glamdolly30]

I'm English and found it fascinating to see the exotic wildlife you have on your doorstep. I wouldn't want to find any of those spiders (or the scorpion) in my house though! Kat and Peter's respect for the critters was a joy to see. I wish there were more people in the world like you, who appreciate and respect other creatures' rights. Fantastic video, really enjoyed it - thanks for sharing! XXX

[@paulak7963]

We don't have snakes, tarantulas or scorpions here in New Zealand but I'm fascinated by them. Loved those little snakes they were so cute.. Love your channel!!

[@geelllee]

We actually do have scorpions! But they're tailess, tiny and completely harmless :) they're called pseudo scorpions and they have little pincers, I found a couple in my bathroom

[@paulak7963]

@@geelllee That's interesting to know. Are you north or south? I've lived all my 40ish years in Southland but have recently moved to the North Island and are seeing all new little critters I have never seen down there.... I'm in love with the praying mantis and jumping spiders..

[@tnfc1901]

I really loved this video. So cool to see. Thank you for taking. Us along.

[@irisravenhild9060]

I'm so jealous. going on such forest walks is something I always want to do, but my friends have zero interest on such, and I do not like to go alone.

[@Evavassilieva]

Why not? Have you ever tried? Go on a walk alone is pure joy... only you and the nature in connection! Absolutely recommended 😉

[@somegirlthatwashere1982]

I'm with you on this one, but I talked about it with the one that used to be closest with me, and she reminded me that nothing is truly stopping me from what I enjoy, and that includes even myself. When we go on nature walks alone, we're never truly alone. All of the critters we see, we hear, we find, and all the ones that we know are there but can't see just yet. It's okay to do these things on our own, because it's a very much needed reminder of the things that we discover when our attention isn't elsewhere

[@Wurstkreatur]

I love these types of videos. Seeing them in their natural habitat is just beautiful.

[@chloewright1]

@Tarantula Kat if every keeper was as responsible and respectful as you, it'd be great! I live in the UK and the wildlife here is pretty cool, but nowhere near as diverse as what can be found in the US. You're so lucky to live somewhere that you can go out and find tarantulas, black widows, lizards, snakes, scorpions etc 🕷️❤️🕷️❤️

[@alkggkla5643]

[@lullylew9083]

Cool but have you considered how many creatures including the spiders you love that you could be crushing when you put those rocks back? I'm sure you take this into consideration.

[@leiam7964]

Oh that was so awesome! Exploring is one of my favorite things to do, I have been doing it since I was little. I lived in the county and was surrounded by woods, so I would spend all day looking under rocks and logs for creatures. Sometimes just sitting in one place watching for any movement and just watching whatever came by. Thats my happy place.

[@cathyb1273]

What i found the most curious are the flat rocks. Where are they coming from ? They are scattered in the grass with no mountain around... 🤔 The tarantula was pretty and so chill.... 😁

I live in the Northeast, so Black Widows are really common where I’m at. I live in the woods to, so seeing them is almost a daily occurrence. Wolf spiders, Jumping spiders, and Eastern Parsons spiders are also common. In the summertime, Orb Weavers are a nightly scene to.
