Cool! I have to get out more this summer and explore nature. It's been a passion of mine since my frog catching days as a kid. taking tadpoles home and watching them grow into frogs was pretty cool! I've had a general fear of spiders but also a fascination so i am always trying to break it by handling them. Of course, the last spider I tried to handle was a massive dock spider that shot up my arm and I freaked out (the spider was okay) 🤣

Hey great footage. Once you called out the species of spider by looking at it's web, I knew you were the real deal.

@@rynor7132 You are not alone... I think that is a common thinking in regard to these spiders. I talk quite a bit about these spiders ecology and thermal regulation in my content... as well as touch on their physiology/biology that makes their advancement rorthward possible.
