[@ianholmes3761]

I just look at the family.

[@WolfgirlExtraordinaire]

Honestly same

[@pbdthe_catperson]

Same here

[@randumbrantz9212]

Seeing a black widow in the wild never bothered me much... it's when I look away, then back and it's gone that I tended to get nervous.

[@rodneybever9583]

My camel spiders never fail to give my friends the shivers. Especially when it is feeding.

[@MamaCoastie]

Gotta love those mandible moves.

[@wollewolf9863]

I´ve heard that camel spiders die in captivity and its nearly impossible to keep them alive long time.True?

[@rodneybever9583]

@@wollewolf9863 The ones we have here in Utah are pretty hardy little buggers. I haven't had any species from anywhere else but from my research they are very similar to each other in care much like preying mantis are. They are pretty short lived though. Typically they live for a bit more than a year and when you just happen to find one on the porch (how I got all mine) they are usually middle aged. So as a pet it will only last for about 6 months or so. I think that there may be longer living species but I am more of a tarantula guy. Some tarantula females can live to 25-30 years.

[@JPsPetNation]

Same here my other 1/2 thinks they r a demon the way she act to the ones I gave . But she pkay with the rest of the inverts what is odd to say lol

[@rodneybever9583]

@@jeffreybrugmans5325 they are harmless. I have been bitten numerous times and they can't even break the skin.

[@nemurenumixefraxciton4962]

Millipedes are just the cows of the arthropod world. They’re too adorable to be creepy 🤣

[@SuperFm101]

Well tgere is one factor if you handle one they leave a poisonous oil on your hands tgat smells foul

[@marissawindler9214]

@SuperFm101 if I remember correctly, that poisonous foul smelling oil is actually cyanide, as a lot of species of millipedes are Able to produce it as a defense while stressed from predators and handling

[@marissawindler9214]

Honestly quite an interesting fact for a truly beautiful and adorable creature

[@marissawindler9214]

But needless to say, wash your hands immediately after handling, you really don’t want to ingest that while eating

[@privateperson5257]

This was seriously like movie quality stuff man! I got an immense amount of entertainment value out of this as well as information! Keep it up, I never wanna see these end.

[@jamiebreez1783]

That video was so kick-ass, especially the ending... was too funny! Hey have you guys ever seen (very not creepy) peacock spiders? Get some of those little beauties! Definitely check them out on you tube if no one has! Also spiders on drugs, super funny video. Thanx so much!

[@kevinpoe8137]

I have several species of mantis, they’re more cool than they are scary, their eating habits on the other hand 😬

[@adhamelmaghalawi_7320]

What species r they, cause ima get videos of those guys freaky eating

I love my mantids! I have popas, a budwing, ghosts, and violins.

[@bexkrak3970]

Of all the spiders I've seen and read about, I have actually never seen the green lynx one and I must say it is beautiful!!!

[@Exthias1983]

Agree 100%. That was the one in this video that impressed me the most!

[@J_Diz]

Yeah my scorpion bangs on it’s enclosure when I’m trying to sleep, it doesn’t have a lid

[@ianholmes3761]

Perhaps it's listening to the rock band the scorpions.

Thanks dude!

[@thenightscythe2030]

I'm sitting on a chair currently coveted on Brown Widow and California Funnel Web Spiders.... Yet, TRUE Black Widows still send shivers up my spine

[@Des420]

One of the creepiest invert things for me was the sound a bin of Scolopendra make, laying waste to a box of crickets. A slithery, crunching cacophony.

[@MamaCoastie]

Okay, I just re-watched this video and I've gotta stand up for my beautiful widow ladies. Those males they eat after mating deserve it - lazy jerks hardly ever web up on their own, they let the ladies do all the hard work of catching and incapacitating prey, then they come along, wreck the web and steal it right out from under her. Rude. I love my widows. If the tarantulas aren't enough to keep people from dropping in without notice, mentioning that I have more than a few widows usually does the trick. ;)

[@dv6342]

I found this channel by accident recently. I love your content, and the photography is INCREDIBLE! Keep up the good work dude!

[@AntoniaPylarinos]

th first invert that I ever got in my collection was a vinageroon, his name is Hephestus and still alive today!

[@moodring42]

The legendary scorpion how long have you had him?

[@palindrome__3746]

That's awesome! Ive always wanted a vinegaroon but my family is scared TO DEATH by them

[@j.k.4331]

Once we had an spider hunting under water (german name: Wasserspinne). Translate in to english this means water spider. They build an air bobbel under water and can ceep some air whit them at their hairs while hunting. They even catch small fish in rare situations.

[@marcusmathewdeleon8200]

You deserve a hundred thousand subs bro! Btw I think you can add the skeleton tarantula as a special mention. I know it wasn't spooky all the time but I think it fits for the holloween. Great vid bud!

[@tarantulacollective]

No doubt! That would've been perfect for this episode.

[@victoriaoconnor378]

- Has a fear of spiders - Gets attacked by a tarantula on Animal Crossing and freaks out HOW DID I GET HERE AND WHY CAN'T I STOP WATCHING? I have been watching tarantula videos for over an hour now.

[@rasmuswellejus2809]

The green lynx spider is out of this world, creepy crawly!

[@thecreatureverse]

I keep Lynx Spiders and Huntsman Spiders.

[@pgrvii6825]

Great video sir. The black widow bit was way cool. While not necessarily creepy to me,I have a male Gonodactylaceus graphurus (Orange Spot Mantis Shrimp) thats a total boss. I live in a 3 story house and can hear him smashing things in the basement while upstairs!

[@tarantulacollective]

Oh wow....that sounds pretty cool!

[@MrTsTech]

I’m up to 14 tarantulas now! Every time I get a new one I watch this dudes video on that species. Best KZbin channel ever!

[@alexanderbuess290]

solifugae certainly are missing, they are super creepy yet harmless

[@vivimannequin]

I get the creeps just seeing those things behind my phone screen

[@RealMelodyBlue]

I've been arachnophobic all my life, but since I have been binge watching these videos, I have grown to love tarantulas, unfortunately, I don't think I'll ever get over my fear of Black Widows or Brown Recluse spiders.

[@deacongabel1396]

The Egyptian Giant Solpugid isn't dangerous and lacks venom, but it is still horrifying to look at. They're also super fast and have a reputation for following people's shadows to escape the heated desert. I'd argue they're more terrifying than amplypigids and vinegaroons just by appearance alone.

[@diegozea1987]

Awesome video! As always, thanks! Former arachnophobe here but still can't get over those dumb spider crickets, creepiest things ever! Getting the chills just thinking about it right now!

[@wormg3577]

I dont know what but whip scorpions have always given me the shivers

[@deadgirlwalking4354]

The black widow was the first non-tarantula arachnid I added to my collection and I love them so much. I don't think I'll never NOT have them in my collection again. The way they carefully and cautiously hunt is mind boggling to me after owning tarantulas, plus they're gorgeous

[@RainbowsArePerfect]

My Asian forest does the same thing I have all of mine in my room and it keeps me up some nights clanking around. So sick to watch though

[@masonsmorphs]

Check out the giant orb weaver spider ! It’s pretty creepy to handle.

[@tarantulacollective]

If I left off your favorite creepy creature, tell me about it in the comments! See more of my Top 10 lists here: kzbin.info/aero/PLjBrtja7Q8uguO-hnujb8ZHXvmpbmB5ds

[@markogdon5746]

I had a red back. Sort of like a black Widow but bigger, better and badder then the widow.

[@naymeequillo]

Black Windows are so beautiful! They're not actually agressive at all, they'll pretty much only bite if they get squashed.

[@sidewaysonhighways]

Harvestmen are pretty creepy. They are often mistaken for spiders; particularly cellar spiders and also share the “daddy long-leg” moniker. I used to see harvestmen on Ken the Bug Guy’s webpage, and he had some different colored ones also. They are not venomous and they are not actually spiders at all. Black hole spiders are a good alternative, and are super easy to take care of. They looked like young wolf spiders when I saw and held one. The are fairly creepy and skittish.

[@megfelsenthal1712]

Me: oh look..centipedes... Oh hey there's the skip button... 😂 Ya hit it with the centipedes. *shivers* This video was freaking amazing. As always. And the ending cracked me up! 😂 Keep up the great work!

[@tarantulacollective]

LoL....centipedes ARE creepy....I dont blame you...lol! Glad you enjoyed the video....I spent A LOT of time putting it together...but you gotta go all out on HALLOWEEN!

[@LukaTisus]

@@tarantulacollective I got bit by a little red centipede when I was a kid and let me tell you... their venom might be mild up here, but it still felt like I got nailed by a hornet. My hand throbbed for days. Never went near the fuckers again

Nope we use to get the house ones but I like millipedes.

Breaking through on KZbin is tough work.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

When I used to Live in Zanzibar many, many years ago, they had Giant African Millipedes there (Archispirostreptus gigas.). They used to call them the Tanganyika Trains as they would grow over 12 inches long. My dad used to collect and put any invertebrates that were found in the house into a large specimen bottle of formalin to keep to remind us when we got back to the UK of what he'd found. Some of the ones he had were upto 10 inches long. Still only 2/3rds fully grown!! :-))... And then there were the centipedes too. Some of those were 8 inches long and as thick as your index finger!! :-((...

I find it fascinating that tarantula people are often scared of huntsman. We live with them entering the home year round & I think most people would sooner take them outside before hurting them. I’d much rather deal with a huntsman over a tarantula, but I suppose that’s experience 😅
