  • 1:32 Those are some scary az eyes you got there

  • I consider the green light as morning, and the red light as evening.

  • Damn it this spider

  • you are the last dragon ... how the fuck this spider glows ... he aint leroy?

  • KILL IT

    NOW

  • well, i will be getting green lights, spiders don't really try to jump me so it would not effect me, but at lest my house would not be full of bugs ;)

  • red lights are like EMPS

  • HEY IT"S BLINK SPIDERS!!!

  • Stalkers use blink

  • so these is why those girlie bars used red lighting so i will not pound on the prey.

  • Japanese!

  • Green is positive while red is negative. Just like we use everywhere in our lives except Harry Potter.

  • i got here from halo reach fails of the week -.-

  • im so glad they got rid of the old narrator

  • I wanna be a fucking spider now.

  • Teleportation Spider

  • greenlight i got you!

    redlight aw fail!

  • what the actual f#ck? did this 8-footed f#cker just teleport??

  • Otherwise known as NOPENOPENOPENOPE by NatGeo.

  • Seriously remove the freakin ads

  • Im baked

  • im sure the spider would be happy since its seems green is its favourite colour since the like bar for this vid is green as well

  • How are the researchers certain they didn't test this on "defective" spiders? Cataracts maybe? Just something to consider. When I performed tests on insects very rarely was the health of the specimen beyond being dead/alive/pregnant/sperm-prod­ucing was considered....

  • /watch?v=4EGzwpJOF54

    can you check out my first video? thanks

  • that comes with V12 jumping power that give the spider 1000 spiderpower lol

    ^.^"

  • Allah in green light is no match for jumping spider. Also you're a fag

  • All praise is due to Allah the lord of the worlds. Thumbs up!

  • @noor121212121212 fuck you and your allah catholicism is the ONE and ONLY REAL religion you muslim faith is a fucking sub human joke fixed on making the poor people suppressed by their religion did you know that your PROPHET muhammed was a homosexual rapist who prayed on little boyes for his entertainment your a perfect example of the brainwashing they do in the middle east africa and any other muslim cluster fuck in the world

  • @IxHATExFATxPEOPLE I'm sure your pastor is proud. I'm no Muslim, i'm too grounded to subscribe to any religion, but let's just keep in mind that it's the Catholic church who's priests are messing around with little boys TODAY, not Muslim clerics. Also, pederasty was much more common in your beloved Rome in the time of Muhammad than in Muslim countries, though those relationships were mostly spiritual. Carnal relationships with young boys were considered just as disgusting as they are today.

  • @IxHATExFATxPEOPLE Oh...and ye who smelt it, dealt it.

  • @IxHATExFATxPEOPLE Well Catholic priests are no angels either. You obviously have forgotten about how Catholic priests in the time of Muhammad broke their vows by marrying, partaking in adultery, and the Church pretty much stole money from those who were blind to said offences. Before you make some sort of insult against me, I am not Muslim, but Hindu. And frankly, I don't think you even have the mental capacity to tell the differences between the two.

  • @Yupthisismaname Nice man. Well done!

  • @IxHATExFATxPEOPLE OMG!!! Take a chill pill man, and calm down. Everything you said is 1000% WRONG. Just think about what you just said. Thats not cool man.

  • Imagine what it dose in mating season

  • i like jumping spiders.

  • I don't want to live in this planet anymore ...

  • Looks like that spider is teleporting .

  • gotta get those eyes calibrated :P

  • I'm deathly afraid of spiders, but I've always thought jumping spiders are actually really cute... when they're not JUMPING!!!

  • Damn, that thing moves fast, i though there was something wrong with the video.

  • I guess they would have trouble in the traffic

  • ok hello greetings good tarantulon this

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • Holy shit.

  • lol it even buffers at 240p, HOT DAMN I HATE YOUTUBE AT 7 PM all the kids are on FUDGE that. It isn't MY internet either.

  • Love how youtube buffers during an ADVERTISEMENT.

  • Jumping spiders are some of the niftiest critters of all time!

  • Spiders suck at playing red light/green light.

  • Spiders suck at playing red light/green light.

  • mmmmm, love me some science

  • spiders are not insectecs !

  • Who the hell is this new narrator?

    Also I shouldn't have watched this because I hate jumping spiders -.-

  • im getting red lights installed in all my house!

  • @pali4life48 But... If you installed red lights, and wound up with bug intruders, then the jumping spiders among them would have to work harder to kill them, and the other bugs might get a chance to fly away!

  • @pali4life48 dont mean they cant bite you still

  • @pali4life48 lol, you might get some interesting people turning up wondering who you're pimpin'!

  • @DJExxx lol!!

  • @pali4life48 Omg what if one of them accidentally stumbles into your foot?

  • @flawedxromancexo id rather it jump on my foot than it jump on my head

  • @pali4life48 You just delay the inevitable. ):

  • @Mithferion D:

  • how do they know it is not filtering red for being a danger color..if the sky is red something is burning. it may have self defense filters. food is not a priority when the sky is burning.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ramirezr16 well i guess im not the only one since ive had had top comment all day, so it looks i have some good company. thumbs up everyone.

  • 0:04 it looks like a bird

  • Haaaaate any creepy thing that can jump on me </3

  • Great now figure out how to harvest these damn spiders to solve world hunger!

  • they don't jump they teleport.

  • now THAT'S a scientific research!

  • Gods great design on display again!

  • Finally!! something 'informative'.

  • very nice i wish i cld do that too lol it wld help a lot

  • stop with thumbing up stupid jokes already.

  • so your telling me that all i have to do is use red lighting againts spider man?

  • that's interesting!

  • Their world looks like a video game, target is green: jump; target is not green: get closer

  • Comment removed

  • Now That's impressive...

  • so much better than Jersey Shore

  • @72dew that shows dead

  • I guess I'm not going to wear my green shirts anymore...

  • Looks like students having to take any course that has sensation and perception will have to get the new edition of their textbook. Publishers just love discoveries like these, makes them money.

  • This is the NatGeo i grew up reading and watching, and i wish the young people have the same opportunity, and not some being stupid is fun reality show NatGeo.

  • awesome!

  • The green light should be obvious, jumping spiders are their best hunting in GREEN environments, grass, leave, etc

  • Wow, God's really clever isn't he?! I wonder how he's getting on solving the AIDS problem or mass famines..

  • @kiddhitta yep, my fail

  • Why the fuck would anyone research this?

    They're preparing for jumping spiders assault?!

  • Comment removed

  • @filipmisko Because it's AWESOME, and they're working on expanding our knowledge of this planet.

  • @filipmisko people in the 70s researched moth eye for decades, the moths eye structure was used to developed the technology that matured into Cd/Dvd recording and reading technology.I wont be surprised if this technique could be used in making better microscopes/telescopes or video recording devices in future or even fix certain eye disorders.

  • is this the spider which gives you spiderman powers?

  • That spider must have been so confused under red light. Poor guy is demoralized :(

  • @TheLizardLover Yes, it's amazing what natural selection can do.

  • humans gage distance by paralax calculation as far as i know

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    eh, maybe they should explain it better

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • @wilymcgee

    Make a video response and do it better then.

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    @Cujucuyo i can't cuz this vid didn't explain the science well enough for me to understand it, much less "do it better".

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • @wilymcgee

    Not sure if you're trolling or you're simply retarded.

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    @Cujucuyo ha, u answered as i expected a faceless troll would!

    so let me get this straight, does the fact that i certainly know things you don't, mean that you too are retarded???

    i didn't think so.

    so then enlighten me, how does this "out of focus" depth perception work?

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • @wilymcgee

    No need for me to explain it, it's explained in great detail in the video, it is YOU who must try to prove you can explain it better than the video. As for those margins, do you honestly believe they make you look special? If anything they make you look even more retarded, that, and the fact you can barely type coherently.

  • @Cujucuyo

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    dear cujoculo

    type coherently???

    barely??

    let me know what phrase you were particularly dense on, i'll try to enlighten you; more than likely i'll point you to a grammar dictionary though.

    @ the other dude bawlbag,

    all anyone needs to see is ur profile pic so see who wants attention, takes one to know one.

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    @Cujucuyo

    back @ coolculo, i don't see how such a short video could describe any new discoveries in a select number of jumping spiders in great detail, and in fact, i doubt you figured it out either, since you just referred me back to the video, in lieu of trying to explain it urself.

    but bawlbag (13aw13ag) is right, we arguing over moot points.

    so, you win whatever the argument was about, there, now we can sleep w/ this being settled

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

  • @wilymcgee

    Typical 12yo retard, lol. I'm still waiting for your video explaining it better than NatGeo.

  • @Cujucuyo hahah, thanks man, it's been too long since someone called me 12, hah,

    you gave me a big laugh bro, take it easy man

  • @wilymcgee I don't even know what you're arguing about, or who is right, but I'd back the other guy purely because of those borders you keep putting around your comments. I mean, who the fuck does that? A pathetic little attention seeker is who. The fact that you find it necessary to draw everyone's attention specifically to your comments suggests that you believe what you have to say is more important. It isn't. On the contrary, in this case all it drew attention to was how much of cunt you are

  • wow, top comment. see i is smarter. lol

  • and at 0:58 my brain exploded

  • I'm a jumping spider and I approve this

    oO,,_,,Oo

  • @Daiiley I am an YouTube user and I give you thumbs up.

  • oO,,Oo

  • does spiderman have the same eyes?

  • nationalgeogrphic, now this is a good upload. not some wild hillbilly

  • This will be a fun one to bug my aracniphobe sister with , April ain't far.

  • Alas, the thought of one crawling on me will now creep me out even more.

  • Imagine how fast and far a scaled up spider would jump.

  • @Lukash636 never stared down the barrel of a loaded 44magnum i guess?

  • 88,_,88 spiderbro seal of approval.

  • Oh man I'm mah way to Harvard because of this! 

  • now THAT is a good narrator/presenter +1

  • He looks so cute :D

  • Fuck spiders!

  • I am an arachnophobe but I love watching videos about spiders. Also, when I am at the zoo, they are the first creatures I go to, preferably. I have a hunch that I might, in fact, be an arachnophile.

  • This makes complete sense to me, as spiders' natural habitat usually is lush rain forest, or temperate forests. Spiders like foliage, and foliage is generally green. This could be why they have that attribute, because the light reflected off of the various leaves in forests is greenish. What a brilliant design the spider eye has!

  • I like jumping spiders. They're so cute. I've had them jump on me, and they are so fast I couldn't anticipate their next move. Needless to say, they thought me more a mountain than a meal. Anything larger than a quarter though, and I get nervous!

  • Spiders don't only have deadly accuracy, they are also the best natural architects out there.

  • I feel so intelligent now!

  • is there anyway of removing thumbnails, i dont want this fucking spider staring at me untill another 10 subs post vids

  • @sgtsnakeeyes11 LOL me too :D

  • I SEE BOOBS.

  • amazing fact!!!tnx..
