Spiders see way better than humans can, on 360° and three color channels that is. They can actually see more colors than humans can. Moreover, jumping spiders see in High-Definition, meaning they can see at a higher resolution then any other animal species, including humans. Whenever you close in on a jumping spider to get a closer look... they'll already have seen you move toward them... and will face you and stare right back at you, watching your every move.

A. albopictus is also present in my country Romania, in SE Europe, and I find it so interesting that you are shooting the same species that I also photographed in my backyard. Thank you for making videos, you are the one that got me into macro about a year and a half ago. Started with extension tubes and a Helios 58mm, now I have the Laowa 60mm and ever since I have it I rarely shoot anything else, really can't thank you enough for opening this world for me.

I was handling a magnolia green the other day, and it successfully pounced on a gnat which had landed on me and made off with her catch! I wonder often while I'm shooting how much I'm disturbing my subjects, as much as I try to be non-intrusive, and it's nice to know that sometimes at least they just opportunistically go about their lives. It's such a cool feeling. Thanks for sharing this small moment.

I live in coastal Alabama, and there are several species of jumpers here. It always pleases me to meet one. They seem intelligent, friendly, very inquisitive, and yes, they're quite cute too. I coaxed one of them onto my hand in my workshop awhile back, and took it outside. It jumped off my hand and grabbed a small black fly, so fast I didn't see it happen. Amazing how agile and quick these little guys are.

And that's he became Man-Spider, "With no responsible, comes tiny power". May he find a mate.

Funny I come across this today. I was just doing some macro photos of the jumping spider in my yard and just happen to catch it at the end of his meal. This video is amazing. Great clip.

You and the spider are officially blood brothers for life 💯

Nice video, Thomas!! Always looking forward to see your vids!!

Gorgeous photography, and such a beautiful message to remind us all of the little things that matter.

This has got to be the strangest week for me - ever - on youtube's algorhythm! What started out as Ravens plucking fat ticks from a wallaby in Australia - to some Russian couple with a pet puma (and cheetah) and now, after just witnessing a funeral for a jumping spider - then here we go - blood thirsty skeeter gets sucked dry!

Such a beautiful spider. I love jumping spiders they are so intelligent and misunderstood.

Your filming skill is EPIC. Congrats; enjoyed and want more!

I never kill spiders. They're not my fave thing in the world due to me being a huge wimp but I respect them so much. These little jumpers have amazed me recently. I've never taken notice of them before but had a video recommended and wow I was glad I watched it. I think I might just love these guys, they're so smart and fearless.

This whole video is rather beautiful in a sense. I think the fact that one of my favorite creatures making a meal of my least favored insect made it so satisfying. Remember kids! Spiders are your friends and serve as nature's pest control.

I have arachnophobia but it seems to vanish with jumping spiders. I think it’s because of how different they act like moving their mandibles, looking around, curiously etc.

Humans prefer critters with forward facing eyes

I may have Arachnophobia but why this spider is just so cute?

Fun fact: There's a very unique species of jumping spider that exclusively preys on blood-gorged mosquitoes, deriving nourishment from the human blood in the mosquito.

The only thing I find cute about these spiders is how small they are, and the fact that they can tilt their head while looking at you in the most adorable way

Thank you for championing spiders. Jumping spiders are adorable. How could you not just love that face? Why are you no longer posting videos of your amazing relief prints? I watched some earlier videos and was very impressed.

What a great concept and of course done extremely well :)

The spider was like, that's my human! You touch him, now you die!🤣 I love jumping spiders, they have a ton of character. My favorite is the peacock spider, native to Australia🕷

That is the most beautiful spider I've ever seen. His colors are gorgeous!

I am in Virginia for vacation in the Blue Ridge Mts right now and I came across a black bodied one with pale legs. I enjoy this type of spider very much for their friendliness and natural sense of wonder they possess. The spider I saw was male, looking up at me from the arm of my chair as I'm sitting on the front porch and I put my finger near him and he scurried away but returned. So I held my whole hand out and stayed that way for a few moments until he trusted me enough and jumped on my hand. We looked at each other for a good five minutes, let him crawl on my arms and chest and he'd hop on my hand when I would place it near him because he was trying to crawl towards my head and I didn't want to lose sight of him for fear of hurting him. I put him on the ground and he hopped away and now one of his buddies showed up to the right of me on the house.

Wow are you a doctor? The camera shots are so stable. Great quality and awesome filming skills. You take better videos of close ups than most people from far away.

How do you go about finding your little 8-legged models? Do you just look around for them and they're common enough to find without much effort, or do you lure them in with promising locations for them to hide? I'm no photographer but I love spiders, though jumpers aren't very common around where I live, I typically need to go out and about to find them here in Maryland.

I sometimes go out looking for spiders on hikes/in parks - but more often than not - they just pop up as I go about my day. Keep your eyes peeled for salticids - railings, benches, tables outside, broad leaves, the ground...

Such peaceful music. Thank you.

Fenomenal video. Fenomenal commentair. In my flat lives more Pholcus phalangioides (Triasavka Veľká). I like them. When I catch a fly, I give it to them and watch it. They even managed to hatch about 50 small spiders. They protect my apartment from what I can't see. What device did you use to shoot?

So cute! Very nice clips

This is poetic and beautiful.

Look at this cute lad. He got his biggest meal yet.

In my country, Danmark (spelt “Denmark” by many foreigners - it’s in Northern Europe) I've only come across one species. I believe we call it “zebraedderkop” = zebra spider, because it appears to be striped in black and white. It's tiny, and I've only seen them on sunlit walls, where they like to pounce on small insects from above. When they jump, they fasten a thread to the wall, which enables them to stop at any split second they want. I've yet to photograph one.
