Now that I've seen this , I could never be an arachnophobe. This was fascinating. No spider will be expelled from my house during cold months.

[@Hurricayne92]

I prefer them during the hotter time of year to catch those pesky Mosquitos.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Well done you. More of that is what's needed nowadays. A perfect example of "With understanding, comes appreciation" 👍🙂😊

[@steelmote]

Great! I live in the woods, and the wilderness goes right up to the other side of my wall. Living here has taught me that, if I don't let spiders live in my house, everything else will live here instead. Spiders have manners and most of them stay in one spot, out of sight. This is way better than having roaches, flies, centipedes, wasps, and other bastards take the run of my house. Spiders either catch them in webs or chase them and eat them. I think of spiders as smaller, more mobile cats in terms of their pest control ability. They can get pests that cats and house lizards can't. Last summer, I had organ pipe mud daubers (a wasp which is harmless but VERY annoying) infest my house. Wolf spiders and crevice weavers killed about 55 of them for me and helped stop the infestation.

[@Prismaticlysm]

I used to be TERRIFIED of spiders as a kid. One day my dad made me keep a giant house spider (I believe that was what she was) as a pet. All it took to get me to rethink my phobia was when my dad put water in a straw and held the other end out to her while keeping a suction. She flipped over on her back and held that thing like a baby bottle as she drank from it. Completely changed my mind about them; I even took her to my summer reading camp for show and tell. I love spiders now, and appreciate what they do for us so much.

[@nckojita]

another super fascinating spider you might find interesting is the golden wheel spider, they curl up into a ball and go rolling at surprisingly fast speeds lol

[@Imperiused]

I love the guy in the old footage. Also the guy who almost stepped on the soap! XD Tasha the Amazon a great presenter as always. She was quite the sport to do this episode as an arachnophobe!

[@jonathanbalagtas848]

The last part...🤣🤣🤣

[@HumbleAshe]

Mother Nature basically made the art of catching prey cool before we humans ever came along. And even then, some methods of trapping/catching food (rather than the simple “hunt and catch” method) still trip us up or amaze us.

[@gregoryfenn1462]

Humans ARE part of mother nature, we are animals just as much as any of these fascinating creatures.

[@Johny40Se7en]

@@gregoryfenn1462 No. Just no 😆😅 Some Humans are part of mother nature, like Eskimos and tribes in places the Amazon, the ones that still exist and are not having their homes decimated by the wretched meat and dairy farming industry. Anyway... I agree with the second part. We are other animals.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Such marvels of nature. The level of detail and time it takes arachnids to lay webs, especially the burrow and orb variants, is just pure magic and is definitely worth more appreciation. The way an ant lion does its burrows always make me think of that thing in the desert on Star Wars that an iconic bounty hunter fell into 😆🤣

[@jamesdooling4139]

Should have added a large lion pride. I've seen one in action. They spread out in formation and guide prey. It's ingenious. Clearly, animals are just as communicative as humans.

[@FelixMomentvm]

the topic is "traps", as in making use of contraptions to hunt...

[@Sheamu5]

I love this style of video, even if spiders make my skin crawl a little

[@Johny40Se7en]

Believe it or not, it's a built in primal instinct for all Humans to feel that way about creatures that burrow and scurry around. Back in the cave days or before, those creatures were a lot bigger and just as savage, so it would be a natural fear response. But hey, when you have an understanding for something / someone, it can be easier to appreciate them.

[@RoseRedRoseWhite]

Ma'am, knowing you are an arachnophobe and still presented the episode for us

[@tonydeluna8095]

Love them trap doors! Very entertaining to watch! Love these creatures from planet Earth

[@sunb1ind]

"What's a murder-hole without a little pizazz?" LMAO... I love this woman. We need a collab of Hank and Tasha in the future!

[@Sushikatherman]

🙄

[@jamie7472]

I have heard an argument that plants like black berry can be considered predatory (at least in part) due to their ability to ensare animals. Although I think its a bit of a stretch to say they are predatory, when you compare the hooks of a black berry to the needles of a thistle maybe theres something to it. I have been ensnared in china apple trees before and not only are they incredibly painful but they hold on like nothing else. I can see an animal choosing death over enduring the pain to free itself if it were sufficiently ensnared.

[@nina150]

These are my favorite animal logic videos I love all the old clips added in and different sound effects it's so fun. 😭

[@mirthenary]

Somewhere Admiral Ackbar is smiling 😁

[@EyeGlassTrainofMind]

Wow! This is so amazing to learn. I name all of the spiders I see in the house and try to guide them to safer regions of the house in Winter. Thank you for making this video even though you have a phobia!❤

[@ericpohlman5131]

When I saw the thumbnail and title.....I thought to myself, I wonder who's goring to tell this story. Probably, Tasha. And, I was right. So, fun.

[@Will80085]

The editing style of these second nature videos has always been great, hope to see more of it in the future 👌

[@willcookmakeup]

Whoa weird seeing Tash doing an animal featured episode and not floralogic. Love seeing her here! Great episode as always

[@sakurashogun]

The moment fishing and birds was mentioned I remembered the orcas that leave a fish at shore to draw birds in and then they eat the birds.

[@antoniousai1989]

I don't want to be the Hermione of the situation, but chelicerae is pronounced "Kelìcere", not "Schelicère"

[@henricoshawty85]

I think I am strange when it comes to spiders. On one hand, i binge watch documentaries about spiders. On the other, if i walk into a spider web, i am ready to beat myself senseless before setting myself on fire. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Awesome video though! 👍🏼

[@saint5643]

Don't spell the word "part" backwards. It's a trap.

[@corbechupacabra]

Your Surfshark commercial, of all tings, is how I discovered you also rap...! Great stuff :)

[@jakegordz101]

Surprised the cowboy spider never came up dk if that's actually it's name but it uses a silk lasoo to capture prey There's also the snake with a spider tail its tail looks like a spider crawling and when birds come for the snack it catches and eats the bird. It leaves in death valley I believe

[@animalogic]

There's just way too many fascinating creatures to choose, it was hard to narrow down a concrete list!

[@pierreabbat6157]

Are you thinking of the bola spider? It whirls a ball at the end of a strand of silk.

[@sbennett2435]

I think you mean the bola spider. They are super cool.

[@jakegordz101]

@@animalogic I'm sure the natural world is full of endless beautiful and amazing creatures

[@gregwilliams853]

I found this video quite interesting, since I’m an arachophile I find all spiders and scorpions fascinating animals to keep.

"Bubble Net." Cute and innocent sounding. Means the end for fish.

[@Fink-id6yg]

I'm growing out my hair for a double bun specifically. Looks so cute on you!

[@KinzleyMarie]

I lived this video! Buuut I wish you had talked more about pitcher plants. Id love a whole episode about them. ❤

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Chalicerae is usually pronounced with a hard 'K' sound at the beginning "Kaiisseray"

[@ComradeCatpurrnicus]

Nature is so wonderful and extraordinary in its creativity and ability to provoke dread 😅

[@Darkwing14_]

The animal kingdom is so lively I love it here

[@MRptwrench]

Had the pleasure of walking face first (it was night) into an extremely large orb wearer's web. After a tiny freak out, I searched for momma, found her on my gear, and returned her to her rightful wrecked home. The next evening when I saw her glorious web rebuilt, I gifted her w/a meal worm from my stash I keep for my pet turtle. Least I could do. I've taught my kids that every animal has a reason for existing. Except mosquitos! Even their predators would find something else to eat.

[@DonnaBarrHerself]

My dad screaming in the basement is why my mom's preserves may now be 60 years old.

"It's a trap!!" -Admiral Ackbar 😁

[@huangGQ]

When these predators learn how to take selfies and use filters they will have unlimited power.

[@ericthompson3982]

For a second, I honestly thought you said they dig a "comical hole" instead of "conical hole." My brain immediately thought "the ant doesn't think it's very funny."

[@jnellepDevereaux]

Tasha , thank you for changing how i view spiders .

[@moshedimawalaadormeo]

I've seen some muscovy ducks do something similar to bread baiting

[@monica1808]

Awesome episode and love the overall outfit! ;)

[@crazyviking24]

The pitcher plant inspired the pokemon victory-bell, and the antlion inspired the pokemon Trapinch.

[@K42U]

Jumping Spiders: We beg to differ. Silk is our harness and pouncing is our style. We may be cute, but we're smart.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

OMG, imagine if there were large predatory animals that made traps big enough to capture humans!

[@BurningheartofSILVER]

See Tasha on an Animalogic episode instead of Plantlogic is definitely a pleasant surprise! Nice to see we squeezed in that plant info at the end there thought

[@MiniMii550]

Could we get a video explaining the different types of spider families? Like why is an orb weaver different from a cobweb? What does orb weaver even mean? What’s the difference between a trapdoor and a tarantula? Why are huntsman called huntsman? Etc.

[@Cillana]

I've never heard "chelicerae" pronounced that way before. Took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about.

[@FedorKorsakov]

Perhaps a good future topic to expand on: nematode-trapping devices that mushrooms use.

[@phoenixpinkmyn5535]

Firehawks are great bird trappers! They set fire to dry brush in Australia to chase small prey out into the open. It's a really interesting, behavior, they'd make a great video :)

[@lizardisbetterthanyou5692]

Can you do a whole video on the plant that uses its roots to suck up the little things underwater!!?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard chelicerae pronounced that way before.

[@chefartiebucco22]

Tasha, I was curious, while watching the b&w clip with the big spider... obv bugs squish easily, but if a spider or ant e g. were say, squirrel-sized, how strong is its exoskeleton? A better way to ask... Proportional to an insects size, how strong is their exo?

[@FDL_1401]

I'm pretty sure "chelicera" isn't pronunced liked that? Anyway, awesome vid as always, i love the old documentaries you put in these

Don't glow worm larvae pull their catch up? Pretty sure more than one whale comes up through the bubble net as in the footage. Other than that good video, surprised and pleased to see Tasha.

These words Tasha says are true, We're all humanary stew, If we don't pledge allegiance to... The black widow!

[@hollyplatero8495]

Wait! The guy in the video said "someday we'll know". Do we not know why the Venus fly trap can close quickly?

[@05Matz]

IIRC it has high-pressure cells around the 'joint' area, and selectively lets the water leak out of the cells on the 'inner' side in a form of 'controlled wilting', causing the sheet of cells to 'fold' rapidly towards the 'damaged' side. Very fast trip, but very slow reset. Picture a wall made of two layers of balloons pressed together attached to either side of a blanket, jammed in more densely than 'comfortable' for their level of pressure; when leaks are made in the balloons on one side the sheet can be made to fold in that direction as the remaining balloons are no longer held back from expanding their side of the sheet. I think most 'fast' plant motions work on that principle, which makes them 'one-way', with a very slow reset to the original position as the wilted cells rehydrate themselves back to the same pressure as the ones opposite them.

[@pierreabbat6157]

Do you consider Roridula to be carnivorous?

[@khoahthong4434]

i think you should have talked about 'luring'. perhaps it's enough to be put into a new episode?
