Most fun spiders to watch !!

I don't know. Love watching my trapdoors too. Orbs are phenomenal to watch. My Macrotheles.

But they are absolutely phenomenal.

Feeding my three six eyed sand spiders.

What is your first spider doing when her right palp vibrates up and down?

They all do it. It's like they're weighing the job up.

Now I see #2 doing it as well.

Not something I usually do but felt it was worthwhile as the cricket made a great escape.

If you'd sooner not watch the video and the slow motion replays this screen shot sums it up.

I'd love a M gigas but they are out of my league. Will just content myself looking at yours.

Phenomenal spiders. Just so ruddy hard to get pics of given their behaviour.

You've got a really beautiful collection here. I especially love the Gigas' web. It's a nightmare scene straight out of lord of the rings lol. Also love the trapdoor feeding videos!

Aye the Macrothele sp really do like to web. The sound my M.gigas makes running over her web is absolutely brilliant.

I've upped the brightness and shadows to really make her pop but with the right light and angle the chelicerae really are a sight to behold contrasting against the black fangs, legs and body. Stunning spiders.
