Oh I absolutely love the host, she's so full of life and energy. Especially her reactions to the spiders she saw, she was in awe and I am living for it!

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

This is really wholesome and beautiful. I love velvet and ladybird spiders. They're so cute and gorgeous! It's a good thing there are people out there trying to save these little cuties. Good work!

Aren't lady birds a type of velvet? There's different types.

These gorgeous spiders are responsible for ridding me of my spider fear! But I had no idea they were found in England, amazing. I've only been aware of the Gandanameno from Africa and the ones in Greece. The more the better far as I'm concerned! What an amazing person this man is to be breeding them in captivity and then setting them back into the wild. How can you not fall in love with those faces? I'm feeling emotional now. Thank you so much! 💖💖

[@h.r.9563]

Wow!! And he has a field of lavender and reindeer moss and fern, what a lovely field to forage through for a lovely spider. It's perfect! Living the dream.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I'd love to live near there. lol I live in the British countryside, but we don't have a field like that close to us. We do get the odd jumping spider though. :D

[@levisalvini4110]

Perhaps the most beautiful spider I've ever seen... Unreal BEAUTY!!! Thank you sir for saving this Marvel of Nature...

[@nellywilde9541]

Wow this actually brought me to tears. How beautiful the spiders were when they were revealed. So adorable ❤🥲

[@patrycjalack601]

Wow! Amazing energy from the presenter. I would love to get involved with this type of conservation work!

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

Me too! :)

[@thomasneal9291]

write to the researcher and tell them you would like to volunteer to help. you never know. most researchers are quite approachable.

[@nathando86]

Super interesting! And I like the atmosphere in this documentary :).

[@uniworkhorse]

Man they look awesome, love the presenter, her excitement made me super excited about these little ones!

[@bugtalk84]

Those gorgeous spiders were amazing, it is great to see dedicated conservation work on these spiders amongst many other species. We need more people like these.

[@michellejones-thewonkygard452]

I had no idea that we had such an amazing spider here in the UK. I don't know about you but I'm a little emotional too! ♥

[@Zeegwan.Slopper]

They are one of the cutest spiders. 3rd place in my mind. 1st is the giant huntsman spider and the jumping spider is in second. Just how I think!

[@bobpiec]

GreatJob Keeping them breeding. .God Bless you!~

I love how shes like "can i go now ? No ? Okay."

[@thelodbabyjaysus4163]

I bet she’s blushing when she called her beautiful.

We found this spider here living in Greece (syros). We just found this video when we were looking up info on it. Grateful for programs like this to help educate us and our kids.

being a keeper of velvet spiders I would like to see a breeding program for this species, serval people breeding them

[@theisopodcast4188]

I wish I could get some velvet phids soon, maybe when I'm older😩 They just look soo cute!!!

[@Giannis81S]

We found a male ladybird spider at a beach in Greece 2 days before, it was stunning!

[@stuffreviews5343]

So beautiful spiders there.

[@cattfishing]

This was truly an amazing video. I have finally been able to see what their natural habitat is like. I have also realized that most, if not all of the keepers of this spider have the wrong set up. Giving it more of a tarantula set up with a more dry setting and no vegetation. Although I'm sure the vegetation is not a must. It's the dry, coco fiber and bark only set up seems unnatural. Anyways thank you for sharing this!

[@davidbriggs6218]

This is not a spider to have in captivity. Truly one of the many wonders of Heathland biodiversity and should flourish if Heathland environments continue to be preserved.

[@LordNithilus]

Different species, This one is from the U.K which prefers a more humid environment, a lot of different species of Velvet spider people keep tend to come from more Arid or dry regions.

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Wow, bring some to the US!!!! I know a few people who would probably be interested in breeding them. I would love to have a couple myself. So beautiful 😻. Tyfs God bless you

[@lavapop1900]

[@lightborn9071]

Such small spiders can't even pierce the skin. It could hurt though.

[@roxammon5858]

I fear for these spiders. Here in Dorset during the summer months, kids often start fires on the heathland 'for fun' causing the emergency services to scramble. Large areas of heath are often lost.

[@boffgirl]

thankfully they are in an area the public do not have access too, and isn't one often traversed, plus kids would have to walk miles to reach this one without a car taking them there.

[@vittorio780]

I'm so lucky because I found one of them in Rome

[@meatfat6991]

Cool

[@bretweeks2997]

I thought they were called velvet spiders

[@TheSFCjaymo]

Are they part of the jumping spider family?

[@paulhetherington8249]

No they are the only UK member of the Eresidae or Velvet spiders family

[@dredaylarue]

Lol to hear her talk about how cute the spiders are It's totally opposite of the language my ex would use for them

[@louisromerojr906]

This woman is amazing 😍 how many woman would even look for a spider let alone hold one.

[@Signaman-z9d]

I didn't know they exist , they are beautiful. AIso I wonder how many micro animals would be killed from people walking on a grassy patch of ground daily over the summer.✌️

[@MikeySkywalker]

Once again, good humans trying to overcome the challenges created by bad humans.

[@pwarmii]

Are ladybird spiders allowed to be kept as pe

[@paulhetherington8249]

Short answer is no. There habitat needs would not really be suitable to captive living either

[@chloexom]

Yes they can I have one :)

[@PramodKamathGoogle]

What location is this? awesome picnic location

[@paulhetherington8249]

Afraid the exact locations are kept secret to protect the species as they are very vulnerable to footfall. There is an information centre and kids activity section about the spiders at RSPB Arne Nature Reserve

[@helentee9863]

This isn't a ladybird. Ladybirds are insects (bugs/beetles). Ladybird spiders are are a rare type of arachnids (spiders) This video comes from the BBC's (British Broadcasting Corporation's) wildlife 'arm', from a program called Spring Watch that's been running every spring for about 15 years in the uk. High quality Public television (the kind of thing most countries don't bother to produce) NOT fake
