Jumping Spider Shadowboxing Against Mirror Image ネコハエトリ♂に鏡を見せてみた

[VengefulRonin]

I love the way this little guy moves, it looks like stop motion animation but sped up.

[douboymkIII]

spiders are now officially smarter than cats

[TheUndeadharlequin]

0:46 Spider: "HOLY CRAP, HE SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED!!"

[TheSatsho]

萌えた

[KnoxBlondie]

Go ahead, make my day! lol  This is cool.

[caio069]

2:12 Spider: Sorry, we are not meant to be.. Bye...

[kinako789]

すばらしい動画だ

[Lioyd1rving]

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me??"

[dalvishyu1]

I haven't thought spider's that cute....

[IncubiProtocoL]

I swear my female jumper recognizes herself in the mirror. She just looks in the mirror and grooms herself. Typical women =P

[sigma1920]

@IncubiProtocoL

rly?

im not sure whether u r just joking or not.

if u r serious, u may find it interesting to read the article of "mirror test" or "rouge test" in wikipedia.

it would be an important discovery if u can film that behaviour (self-recognition) with ur jumping spider.

thx 4 watching.

[IncubiProtocoL]

@sigma1920 I'm not sure how 2 female jumping spiders would react to each other. She doesn't show any defensive posturing or any reaction at all to herself in the mirror. No way to be certain that it's self recognition or that females just aren't aggressive towards each other.

[fromstart2finish]

@IncubiProtocoL

Wow, if it really did that film it next time. Thats a sign of pretty high intelligence for a nonsentient animal.

[EUR0BEAT]

The spider looks kinda like it's being animated by stop-motion for some reason....

[wedontevenknow27]

@EUR0BEAT its because the camera is just taking really good pictures slowly

[nosorab3]

Spider: Hey! Hey! Heyheyheyheyheyheyhey!!

(thinking) Damn...this guy's really good...

[FeeTurbule]

Heureusement, la plupart des araignées sont petites! Imaginez, si elles étaient grandes comme des chats ou des chiens, on serait mal!

[Sunshyne276]

I'm deathly afraid of spiders.....but this is so cute! lol

[TheCilamoon]

@Sunshyne276 No animal on the planet will attack you for no reason. Spiders will always flee even when they're dangerous.

[maxinpains]

Korea VS Korea would be interesting.

[JBicks18]

I hate spiders with a passion, but I must say, this was sort of beautiful.

[Raijuu234]

look's like he's trying to be an airplane...

[Rikutida]

Spider: COME AT ME BRO!

[hodoboc]

WTH!? Just kill it with fire!

[TheGzeus]

I love spiders so much.

[WandaYue]

Aww it doesnt know any better its so cute though >w< lol poor lil guy

[NYtassu]

He...he's everywhere!!

Holy excrement, I'm surrounded!

[killerbeel1]

the spider says dose he know what im thinking?

[STOOPIDTIME]

MAKE A MOVE BRO!

C'MON, JUST MAKE A MOVE!!

[brandy2088]

spider aroibics :D

[MarMarLog]

I demand that someone put music to this!

[ownradarmusic]

優れたビデオ

[SkeksisRule]

He's matching every move I throw at him!

[14Mentalist]

aww thats so sweet its probley thinking im in for sex tonight then cant get it poor little thing.. me myself and my reflection

[mekhipowell]

lol its danceing

[iFloBot1]

everyday im shadowboxin' lol

[amarthishness]

did anyone else imagine the spider saying, "come at me bro!"?



[tacobello143]

the 4 pplz who disliked this has aracnafobeea

[reepax]

i throw my hands up in the air, sometimes. Saying Ye oh, come. at. me. bro!

[MerscratianAce]

I think what he was doing was practicing sending semaphore signals.

[Jaws8u]

Man, Nature is amazing!... Squish.

[TorxT3D]

It's little mind is blown, i cant imagine what it is thinking. Could be the equivalent of us discovering an alternate universe of ourselves.

[Shrubbs]

OMG LMAO!!!

[ModKillr]

@KoeniginderSpinne I wouldn't be surprised actually. There is a Genus of jumping spiders (Portia) that have an intelligence that rivals small mammals.

[capofgiza]

Aw, these things are so cute. Pretty smart, too. (For something the size of your fingernail, anyway.)

[drche420]

The "reflective wall" confused the spider. Once it lost interest, it tried to walk around the "wall" to go about its business. Spiders don't understand mirrors.

[Legionario91]

Beautiful.



[WithoutAnyHope]

Aww. Must be like 'I saw 20 of my buddies today and noone wanted to play with me *sad face*' :(

[BRUMARTUBE]

The spider really seems astonished to discover that there is no spider behind the mirror, and then seems to look more and more closely to its image. Amazing video which confirms my feeling: those jumping spiders might have self-consciousness.

[gabrielwillames]

kkkkkk laughs

[stufaman]

'Amazing! He/she matches my exact moves... I'll eat your face if you keep doing that.'

It looked like the second one wasn't buying it. Truley the most emotional spiders you can get.

[HowDoYouSpellDummb]

This is perfect...the music and the footage...I kind of feel like I'm watching a short film! It's so fantastic...great job @sigma120!

[dddoogg1]

Why are you following me?!!!!

[imfromtambunan]

it was then that the spider realized that he was his own worst enemy

[elizaalmabuena]

Nice video, it's interesting how as the video progresses he displays less and starts to walk up to the mirror to investigate by touching it and stepping back a little to just look.

[ZeF2007inc]

I love jumping spiders. They are so wonderful, as is this video and music :)

[DeathIlustrated]

Fitness! / /

Fitness! \ \

Fitness!!! / \

[CHECCKKER]

wtf my new pet is a spider ^^

[Torzelan]

So who won? x)

[M76Knight]

i wonder how scared he probably is. "that's me?" lol

[KR34KX]

interesting and magic, the simplicity of nature, thx for this good moment ;)

[iiAvlis]

how scafred would you be if that jumped on you?

[Sondakhan]

This is really neat. It almost looks like he is displaying less vigorously after a while, or more experimentally, like he knows something's up but he can't figure it out.

[ljbgamer]

duh.... its what everyone does when they see a mirror

[Vleertouwer]

Does anyone know whether the waving of the two front legs is part of a mating ritual of some kind or is it the spider trying to figure out how the mirror works?

[slightlyoutofreach01]

@Vleertouwer It's seems that he recognizes his mirror image as being a rival male, and is making a threat display to chase him off.

[TheeUrbanGentleman]

Step on it!

[PistachioPirates]

stops copies me!

[04suzuka]

@PistachioPirates stops copies me!

[AngelKnight85268]

I'd laugh if the spider jumped into the mirror.

[KHlover369]

haha silly spider it just it's reflexion in the mirror, even dogs do that kind of thing : )

[freakyfish02]

naww tht lil spider is just too cute :3

[DrunkenMMonkey]

"He's countering my every move PERFECTLY. He must be a mastermind of the highest caliber!"

[Slimshadowful]

Man, I understand that this is probably a territorial dispute of some sort, but the song makes the image extremely saddening, as if the little guy is longing to join the other spider in dance, but is unable to and he can't figure out why...

[tannerwaterbury]

STOP!!!!

HAMMERTIME!!!

[TheMacronist]

Very nice experiment =D

[BananaSushii]

what song is this?



[neithere]

What is the meaning of his "hand-weaving" behaviour? Is it aggression or whatever?

[nikodem123asdf]

@neithere he was probably trying to appear bigger to scare the mirror ^_^ spiders don't usually make friends with each other, they eat each other!

[oORyuukOo]

Dobry ten pająk :D

[anarchistt89]

horrible spider but I like the music:)

[grodzix]

na na na na na na na na batman!

[Stasiu11]

Kto z mistrzów, ptak do klatki :)

[stokrotka41p]

kiełbasa

[luckypearly]

this is the only time i will call a spider 'cute'

[drsta84]

Human intervention like this, will supposedly make spiders "smarter" over the years of evolution... humans are speeding up the process. interesting stuff.

[pikolowet]

god i felt so sad about that he/she couldnt find that love <3

[sergtask]

Паук охотится на свое отражение :) #spider

[Lumenni]

If the spider understood there was a mirror, that's awesome ! It would be like the mirror stage of Jacques Lacan :D

[sigma1920]

@Lumenni

it must be interesting to study if they r self-conscious or not.

someone should try the classic "rouge/lipstick test" with the jumping spiders.

[mauraofdunlath]

@Lumenni I like to imagine that the spider knew there was a mirror and was just flexing. Like: "Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talking about! All those workouts really paid off!"

[ryu157]

Woa, on dirait qu'elle cherche à regarder derrière le miroir par moment!! :O

[Achareat]

I think this is kinda freaky... it seems that the spider is aware of the mirror, and he is just making some fun? .... that means he/she is intelligent....

[Soomp1]

Pets like dogs and cats react to their own reflection. Apparently so does this jumping spider.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­1

[o0kuasar0o]

@Soomp1 my cat doesn't. Not at all. :(

[sils1100]

ハエトリグモかわいいｗ

あと、この曲も素敵。なんて曲だろう？

[kinako789]

あら、かわいい



[mathiax]

The spider think: "Oh my god!!! I can find to my brother :D :D, I'm not alone in this world :D :D". 3 Minutes later... "Fuck... it's a mirror..."

[twicon]

god made worms that multiply inside you till you die to.. stupid ass god comments..stfu ignorant f*ckheads..there s a huge f*cking universe out there,all earths ppl together aint worth shit to a higher form of consciousness

[WnMalo]

wow... i feel so inspired... shes dancing to her own image... might be the joy of feeling shes not alone anymore? -at last, i have someone to dance with... ive never been so happy... but whats this... i cant touch you... why?!... why?...

[kovacs88]

That's a wicked dance he's got.

[Smokeyandthehoodlum]

jumping spiders can recognize objects and see better then humans do as far as colors go, they see in living color with 4 differant colors of light while humans only see 3. :) and dont test my knowledge on these, i breed them. =] peace

[FabuleuxFab88]

crush it !

[hiddenul]

Spiders do have souls!

[Obelisk1990]

Lmao! Spiders are dumb :D

[TomaszWadas]

Jest piękny! Its biutiful!!

[zeikusername]

And I was thinking only dolphins and humans were able to see understand whats happening at the other side of the mirror :)

[OhFishyFish]

Background music would be perfect for some anime movie. Just imagine - piano plays while he's holind his dying sister in the arms. Heavy rain clouds above them, last mech falling under alien invader's punch, hope dying, humanity vanished..

I want to cry, make it stop!

[Missivylady]

*piano plays* *Man starts smashing spider with mirror* OMG KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT

[bartas225]

O JA JEBIE O KURWA JAKI SLODKI KURWA HAHA :D:D MMM MNIAM K URWA JAKIS SLODKI HUJ JEBANY HAHA HH OOHHH JAKI SLODZIATKI MIUDZI BUDZI KUCI MUCI OOOOOOOo SLODZIACZEK PIERDOONY H M RRRRRR AA KURWA

[DubstepOverdose]

it's like he's dancing. haha you could look at this video in an arty farty way and it becomes something beautifull

[Kajkes]

Great great great Spider! :D If he bite Peter Parker, he would be Spider-dancing-man :D

I fell in love with this Spidey :D

[LanekBeats]

what is name of this track?

[majkimajk81]

great music

[doubtncertainty]

I like how his threat to the mirror (for all he knows, another spider) is to dance at it.

[youtubasoarus]

"Bob... hey bob! Dude... stop copying me! Come on be serious... Hello! Hellooooooo..... Dammit bob! "

[TurnThatDamMusicDown]

ball room dancing i see! hes good!

[EmanuelWazar]

Where is the music from it's beautiful

[9mmepidemic]

"if youve ever been in love with yourself, put your hands in the air"

also the only time a spider will ever be cute

[YoMissyRocks]

hes a pretty good dancer

[agile52]

for a second there i thought he caught on

[AmelianWar]

lol that is funny <3

[BeautyinDiatoms]

What an interesting display of courage!

I like their fidgety nature...

[fireyphoenix1989]

ohhhh herrrrrrroooooo

[EdTheBadass]

I think it immediately understood it was mirror, understoot the concept of mirror and jsut wanted to pose

[illethereal]

The spider's all, "C'mon, guy! Make your move. I'm just gonna wave my arms all defensive like until you do something..." *Wave, wave, waaaaaaaaaave* "Eh, you're no threat..." *moves on with life*

[peanutbutterblah]

You bother the poor fellow when he could be hunting for bugs or chasing the females!!!

Yes, females because that is a matured male with only little time to live!!!

You sir, are a "Cock Blocker"!!!

[Mangomule]

Jumping spiders rule. They're so inquisitive and the way they move their head about makes them look really cute. I was once in a cafe and this jumping spider appeared on the table and jumped onto my knee. I put it back on the other side of the table and it ran back and jumped onto my knee again! It didn't see me as a threat at all, so cute!

[Alewyshus]

I think that's a female. Males have 'boxing gloves' on their pedipalps and big burly manly-ass fore legs.

[sigma1920]

@Alewyshus

well, this is without doubt a male.

this species (Carrhotus xanthogramma) is one of the commonest jumping spider in jpn.

the mature males and females have quite different colourations (sexual dimorphism) and u can tell them apart easilly.

unlike the general rule-of-thumb, the palpi of adult male C. xanthogramma are not so bulbous.

[sigma1920]

@Alewyshus

i have a lot of footages about them.

u can see, for example,

1. their combat displays & courtship behaviours.

watch?v=O7P3PDmOJnc

2. an adult male spinning a sperm-web.

watch?v=IdUyLwv2AS4

3. their mating behaviours.

watch?v=X3WwuA44V-U

thx 4 watching! :)

[Alewyshus]

@sigma1920 Touche my friend. Keep up the good vids!

[sigma1920]

yeah, he seemed to look for the imaginary opponent behind the mirror.

sometimes i think that jumping spiders r almost as intelligent as cats!

it is truly amazing considering the pinhead brain.

thx 4 watching & generous rating!

[creatures0blood]

@sigma1920

i agree....ya know...its funny...spiders havent evolved alot...because there already good at surviving

[FouCapitan]

@sigma1920 Yeah he seems to figure out that there's something not genuine to his foe, but then it seems he just forgets really easily in a little while.

[mintytheicekitty]

i like this thAt ish one good camera

[OuroborosTrinity]

造網蜘蛛と徘徊蜘蛛じゃ造網の奴の方が賢いて聞いたことあるけど­これ見てるとハエトリ反応が早いなぁ賢いな～

[sigma1920]

コメントありがとうございます。

人間が勝手に決める「知性（賢さ）」もあくまでヒト基準ですから­ね～。

造網性クモは目があまり良くないのだそうです。

ハエトリグモは人間と同じく視覚が非常に発達した動物ですので、­親近感が沸くのでしょう。

[GANDHITRON]

WE WANT JAAKKO BACK

[605Scorpion]

He's just lonely. ;_;

[deityofanimee]

I'll be your friend Mr.Spider ;_;

[requiemsword]

I favorited this for the music. The spiders are cool too.

[MDFIDF]

面白いですね！人間と動物の違いは客観視できるかどうかというこ­とを聞いたことがあります。鏡に映ったのが自分と気付いたら・・­・その説は覆されるのでしょうか、でも飼育下の霊長類では、鏡ぐ­らい認識していますが。

[sigma1920]

そうですね。

発達心理学でも鏡像反応（ルージュ・テスト）はよく知られた古典­的な実験らしくて、人間の乳幼児が自己を認知するのは二歳ぐらい­なのだそうです。

次に機会があれば駄目元でルージュテストをハエトリグモで試して­みるつもりです。

[sigma1920]

虫に鏡を見せる実験は簡単に出来て楽しいです。

巣を守るアシナガバチ女王の鏡像反応を昨年調べてみました。

やはり鏡像に対して攻撃性を示しました（動画あり）。

同じく視覚の優れていそうなカマキリでもやってみたのですが、こ­れはうまくいきませんでした。

[sikojensika]

This video is blessed by Jaakko/Isvaffel.

[sigma1920]

i do not get it.

whats that?

[Taktwo2]

The one and only true God of this universe.

[primesilog]

@Taktwo2 I thinks the apes do understand too :))

[OzzO777]

This video Is Isvaffelish!

[maculifrons]

Hahahaha that is so cool!! that is a fight he just cannot win

[sigma1920]

that is right!

it is observed in the real spider-fighting that once defeated, the male tends to lose confidence altogether in the next fight.
