[VafleTheMan]

The wasps see me rollin'... They hatin'

[Puleczech]

I don't know what is more twisted - the wheel thing or the fact that flying insect actually hunts a spider.

[Lavos2007]

@Puleczech well, to be honest, theres all sorts of wasps that prey on spiders its sad too, if the spider gets stung and captured, it is stuffed in the wasps burrow paralyzed but alive whiel a single larva from the wasp eats it alive and it cant do a thing to escape because the wasp completely paralyzed it with its venomous sting, so the spider dies a very slow death of being consumed while it cant even physically move no matter how much it wants to move

[calum341]

@Lavos2007 Thank god, it makes me happy to know spiders suffer.

[Kinbay]

That spider pukes at 1:44

The wasp can't pursue... because it's laughing too hard!

[iamnooneatall]

They dig soooo fast O_O esp the wasp. I'd want to see what'd happen if we gave V to both of em

[marleyboro]

@iamnooneatall wtf is v?

[Catyclysm]

1:17 F da police!

[kjCooliO]

What would happen if the spider was at the bottom of a hill...then he wouldn't be able to escape. lol

[CaptainPrice94]

OMG that is so cool!!!!

[warning208]

if i was that spider when the wasp was digging through the sand, i wouldve been like run nigga run!!!!

[markdem]

300 kms per hour? i dont get it. why does it look like its only traveling at walking speed?

[nubcakelol]

@markdem lol, she says "equivilent to a car traveling at 300 m/pr h " look up the word in a dictionary ^^

[teslaglobal]

@nubcakelol She means a average family car and size ratio. But 300Mph is a bit over the top.

[nubcakelol]

@teslaglobal ...yeah that's what i told Markdem :P?

[XxUrSoLoStxX]

@teslaglobal she didn't say mph she said 300 kph which is about 186mph

[arias1772]

@markdem depending on the wheel size of your car, what they are trying to say is if you were to travel at 300 kilometers per hour then your wheel would be around the same revolutions per minute as that spider.

in other words, since the spiders diameter is smaller when it is spinning at 44 revolutions/second, it will be traveling along its path of motion at a much smaller speed than a car wheel at 44 revolutions/second

- Spin # 15 " Wait where is it?"

- Spin # 25 " Oh god I'm soooo dizzy!"

- Spin # 246 " Wasp, Wasp, Where are You!? Come help!"

[wildlife011803]

that was Awosome!the things animals do 2 survive is amazing.

[Und3dD3mon]

I wonder if it's hella dizzy after that :P

[danielleefarmer]

max diameter is 3.5cm...so at 44 revs/sec that makes it 3.5X2π=21.98cm*44=967cm/sec or almost 1m/sec .... or 3.6 km/hour

[danielleefarmer]

it would have to be 30 centimeters in diameter for it to travel at 300km/h................ 300km/h=83.34m/s /44revs/s =circumference of 1.89m /2π=.300m or 30cm or 11.81inches ....almost a foot long which it aint....

[bgbondage]

@danielleefarmer Thank you for your effort to show us that we should question and check what we are told.

[rymorymorymo]

@danielleefarmer they're talking SCALE speed here -- think: for a 3.5cm spider, 1m/s = 28.5 spider-lengths per second. for a car 3m long to travel the same equivalent speed, 28.5 car-lengths per second would be 85.5 m/s = 307.8 km/h.

[danielleefarmer]

@rymorymorymo you're right but in biology it's wrong to use scale speed and claim it's the equivalent without actually saying that it's scale speed...I understand that she's just a reporter or whatever but if I say a turtle walks at 0.47m/s it's 1.7kps not the scale speed. the only appropriate way to use it is if you mention the actual speed then the scale speed. I'm saying that's why I corrected "equivalent" from the woman talking. I do understand what you're telling me though.

[danielleefarmer]

@rymorymorymo and she is right but she claimed scale speed as equivalent".they don't use scale speed with humans, cats, dogs, or fish and they are have a shorter footprint than a car, so while it seems appropriate to state the scale speed, and it's interesting to know, it should only be applied when saying "if the spider were this big, and its strength preserved" and since spiders don't have bones they use their shell as a skeleton/support.if we scaled it up the shell might not hold and not spin

[marschlowitz123]

lmao hahahahahaahaha oh god I'll never see spiders the same way hahahaha

[Zenman1976]

wtf tat a cool move but wtf i never seen a spider do tat

[crytuphav]

That spider looked soo cute rolling down lol

[adamroolsman]

i love this spider. its the only animal in the whole world that can build a burrow in the sand. i was reading about it in one of my many authropod books and decided to see what it looks like when it rolls. its unbelivebally fast. thanks so much for posting this video, ive always wanted to see what it looked like

[calderposse]

@adamroolsman i think you should sue the writer of the book you read that wrote that this animal was the only creature that can burrow under the sand because he has filled your head full of shit. what about the white lady spider or the the golden desert mole. cmon man im no specialist on desert wildlife but that was a stupid statement you made there

[Murgofollies]

@calderposse This IS the white lady spider. Same thing bro.

[cooldude4always]

I hate wasps, i wouldve stamped on it.

Gave it 1 star. Fascinating video, but I don't tolerate watermarks. You could have just put a small logo in the bottom-right corner.

[devilbush]

Holy shit that was incredible!

[urbansheriff]

I didn't notice the watermark until everyone mentioned it. Thanks.

[JavaVoodoo]

Yeah, that's one cool spider, but the video is totally ruined by that horrendous watermark dead center. Subtlety is apparently not something "Absolutely Wild Visuals" believes in.

[decomposition]

Is that watermark really necessary?

Anyway, this spider rules and I would love to travel out to Namibia one day and observe it in its natural habitat. They don't eat people, do they?

[jdubs101]

She says ' parasitic wasp.' I think she meant 'predatory.'

[tjbutterworth]

She says "parasitic wasp" because it is parasitic. The wasp will lay her eggs within the torso of the spider; her offspring will grow from the nutrients of the spider, and the spider will not survive. The very definition of parasitism.

[del105]

Sounds like what I did to my wife.

[jdubs101]

Sorry. I can't let this go.

The common name 'parasite wasp' actually refers to a large family of hymenopterans (wasps, bees, ants - or 'bugs' as you would call them) which contains the infra order 'parasitica.'

While 'parasitica' is/was important in terms of species classification, it in no way is relevant to the behavior displayed in this video.

[jdubs101]

And if you use common names, it would still be wrong, because if this wasp was about to engage in the behavior you mention, the narrator (who is apparently fond of species' common names) would have referred to it as a spider wasp (family pomplidae.) Hymenopterans bearing the name 'parasite wasp' prefer to lay their eggs in the larva of lepidoptra (look it up.)

[jdubs101]

Parasite wasp is a meaningless name thrown in to a hack science program that makes you feel like you know something now because it was spoken by a woman with a British accent.

What you learned:

1) Never use common names to predict an organism's behavior.

2) Never fuck with a biologist.. Bitch.

[sanderjames]

Haha! he sounds pompous and faggy!

[kman3113]

GO AWAY, IM BAITIN'

[plainlake]

That would have made it a parasitoid.

[kowpuddin]

I got a little weirded out because I was noticing intelligent commentary here, then I remembered this is on Reddit's front page. sup guys

Truth is, you don't know anything about what this spider has. so stfu and appreciate.

1 m/s?! ôo

That's f*cking awesome xD

[pasquariello77]

all that animal intelligence is suspect

[Gavexor2]

1. find one of those spiders

2. give it a pair of hands

3. ???

4. PROFIT

[izerra]

what do you mean by that, suspect?

[buckozdude]

wow i has arachnaphobiea but that was one cool spider,and not dangours

[Gesmehod]

It looks to me like it's rolling on its knees, like a treaded tire. When you think about it only a radial-bodied creature like a spider could pull this kind of shit off.

Have you noticed that the animals with the weirdest forms of locomotion all live in the desert? Sidewinders, running lizards, kangaroo rats, etc etc. Maybe the sun makes them loopy.

[mingo1990]

what would the wasp say in his language " Come back you rolling bastard!". Haha awesome creature that spider and smart!

[SergiusLens]

*beep *beep

180 km/hour

ahahahaha

[CrazyGipsy]

KILL IT FOR CHRIST SAKE !

[Linerux]

Shit, I started laughing mad hard when the music played during the rolling.

[kj150]

if i saw that thing spinning for me i would kick the shit out of him like a ball

[buckozdude]

nay nay i woud reach for a stick,try to hit it then if that fails...lets play some golf ;) also if i had a gun open fire!

[TheOriginalEntz]

I would get out my camera and take a picture. Why do you guys want to kill everything ? damn ...

[KawaiiKemonomimi]

I know, dang. This spider is cool. Looks like a wolf spider almost. Very pretty.

[zwxwvutsr]

playing golf with a spider is fun
