My 4 year old daughter asked to watch a video of a spider making a web, in the middle of watching she said wow you should never ever break a spider web or they have to start all over, I’m just so proud that she notices the spiders hard work 😇

[jermainebrayne]

Gotta appreciate a spider's hard work... I feel sorry for destroying webs when I was a kid, but I'm making it up today, since I'm a web developer myself now

[RogueDemonZ]

Crazy how these creatures know how to make such intricate and structurally sound webs purely by instinct.

[nyhyl]

It is simply crazy that so small animal are capable of such complex, unbelievably well structured work even humans can learn from! Nature is an infinite mystery.

Seeing a spider in your room isn't scary, it's scary when it disappears.

BBC Earth with the sick tracks and amazing footage, this deserves some kind of award

Magnificent! I have a new garden orb weaver in my yard. She builds her web at the same spot every night right at sundown and in the morning she's gone. The same time every night she comes back and builds the web again and I just love to sit and watch her. I feed her some of the pests in my yard as well. We have a good working relationship. 🕷️ Magnificent creatures.

There's a huge spider thats in my basement, I go and see it every now and again just to see how it's doing lol

[TheTMFD]

It always amazes me! Especially since they are not taught that and often don’t even see a web when born, then fly away to build an engineering masterpiece!

[hnrbdrh]

I hate spiders, but can we acknowledge how beautiful this is?!

[huahualipo]

This is why I never destroy spider webs... I have one on my bathroom window frame, sometimes I throw half dead fly on it as a token of friendship XD

[drinny]

This planet is truly amazing. To bad we take everything for granted.

an architect, an engineer and an artist at the same time

[Itisheylel]

I’m scared of bugs, but I can’t disregard the beautiful, intricate workings of their spider webs.

[mobilelegendscambodia]

It's take a lots of time and energy to build something that significant, the lesson is nothing come easy.if you want it, you have to earn it.

I came to this video after witnessing two of these spiders outside with beautiful web designs and was just curious how they do it. These creatures are awesome because come morning they pack their web up and clean their mess like they were never there. Spiders are responsible creatures. Scary, but responsible

[tarasaladin]

I have a little orb weaver in my bathroom window, and I enjoy watching her construct a masterpiece every night. I've heard they eat their web in the morning before hiding away nearby during the day. They seem to have a routine. It's really cool how intricate their work is. Truly fascinating.

[roybatty-]

Good girl. Especially catch those mosquitoes plz.

I used to suffer from severe arachniphobia; I couldn't even touch a picture of a spider. A few years back, I actually watched "Arachnaphobia "... yeah surprised the daylights outta me! 😊 Then I started capture and release with the many jumping spiders I found in my home. They're actually quite cute. Now I see spiders as fascinating little creatures. My ultimate will be to hold a tarantula in my hands... it be coming soon! 😊 Getting delivered from such a horrible fear all my life is liberating! They fascinate me now! 😊

Really quite brilliant if you think about it, it basically extends their senses out much further than their body length while also effectively trapping prey and signaling them to their exact location. All of that from just some incredibly thin threads that are a tiny portion of their body weight.
