Gorgeous video. Instinct taking its course in the most fascinating category of arthropod. I spend so much time trying to convince people spiders are fascinating, it's great when I see vids like this. People hear you've an interest in spiders and they think you're some weird freak or something!
I have a Dolomedes Tenebrosus Female. She is quite large. she just molted two days ago. She is probably fully grown now.
I also think that I have a male Tenebrosus.
When we found it, it looked like a really small Female tenebrosus. It didn't have the enlarged pedipalps that the males have. Well the small one also molted about a week ago, and bam, now he has enlarged pedipalps. Its for sure a male now. I would love to try and get some mate footage with my HD cam, just don't know if its time yet.
Good choice of music. If you were clever, you could put one of these huge spiders in front of a green sheet or something behind it so you can choroma key it and use it as part of a horror film. Wish I lived near an insectarium.
@crystaaperak Right, well you've certainly done a a fantastic job capturing a suposed rare moment in nature. You really should make a documentry if you have access to more fine specimens like these. Only thing that's missing is the commentary.
Man...it's like he wasn't even there, she was so laid back about the whole thing! Poor little guy at the end, just a twitchy little bugger. God the job done, though!
Good job ! The music is perfect for it

I don't want to put them in the same cage if one isn't ready. And just get the male eaten for nothing. lol

The thing is...I dont like to make spiders scary...they get enough bad rep. already.
I filmed this so I could document their mating bahavior, not to shoot some cheap ass flick degrading their reputation.

Wiw, the size comparison is amazing and the female is so receptive to the little guy. Thanks for sharing! - ZergFront on AB
