Finally a story with everything. Lust, betrayal, sex, murder, fatal attraction and dancing. A better love story than Twilight.

People all dissing the Male Spider that got eaten, you don't understand! He saw his bro was failing and was going to either not get laid or get eaten, so he made the ultimate sacrifice to make sure that the female wouldn't eat his bro and that he would get laid. What a hero!

[cakebby]

Aww she loved his dance so much she got pissed when the other dude distracted her. True love <3

Fun fact: peacock jumping spiders were first discovered by a bunch of university students after they found two male peacock spiders. They named them Sparklemuffin and Skeletor.

I was watching this thinking aww they’re unbelievably cute how can anyone be scared of spiders... then she cannibalised the male 🤦🏻‍♀️

[StupendousJia]

Husband, “ What the f are you watching?”

Me, “Spider porn.” 😒

Husband, “I knew I married a freak.”

[clockworkNate]

I love how at 1:28 she turns and looks into the camera like "You idiots are messing up our date!!" 😂

Not counting the time Peter Parker was trying to stop that train, this is the absolute hardest I've ever rooted for a spider in my entire life

[GhostXVll]

Well that went from whimsical to "nature is scary af" quickly..

[Jake-rjql]

3:20 looks like he gets all nervous for a second while she gets closer lol

[anrb]

Rival male: (steps in)
Male: You mother%$&*
Female: (eats him)
Male: (dances for her once again after letting her finish her dinner)
Female: I always love a man who takes me out to eat❤️

This video was easily some of the most stressful 5 minutes of my life. So much plot and tension

[mahna_mahna]

True fact: Peacock spiders do not have a "bro code."

[InTheMixReviews]

"The rival is not a mate but a meal"... . That was brutal and amazing at the same time!

[Jackspiring]

So imagine that lads you can get lucky or get eaten

[saraneveu]

She was like "oh hell no!! You will not mess with my boo and his majestic dance of love!"

[DNYL_]

When the girl you're trying to impress murders someone in front of you
"Oh no! So anyway"

[ReaperSound]

3:35 the moment where he bops her head is adorable.

[DuncanDonutzRAWRXD]

Rival: Hippity hoppity, your girl is now m-

Peacock spider trying to impress girl: 😂👌

[David-hhon]
