These gorgeous spiders are responsible for ridding me of my spider fear! But I had no idea they were found in England, amazing. I've only been aware of the Gandanameno from Africa and the ones in Greece. The more the better far as I'm concerned! What an amazing person this man is to be breeding them in captivity and then setting them back into the wild. How can you not fall in love with those faces? I'm feeling emotional now. Thank you so much! 💖💖

If we all cared that much for an animal imagine how better the world would be. Amazing video

Oh I absolutely love the host, she's so full of life and energy. Especially her reactions to the spiders she saw, she was in awe and I am living for it!

Absolutely loved them! Both sexes are so beautiful. Thank you for helping them survive & thrive!!

This is really wholesome and beautiful. I love velvet and ladybird spiders. They're so cute and gorgeous! It's a good thing there are people out there trying to save these little cuties. Good work!

I'd love to live near there. lol I live in the British countryside, but we don't have a field like that close to us. We do get the odd jumping spider though. :D

These little guys are beyond adorable.

Perhaps the most beautiful spider I've ever seen... Unreal BEAUTY!!! Thank you sir for saving this Marvel of Nature...

I love how shes like "can i go now ? No ? Okay."

Those gorgeous spiders were amazing, it is great to see dedicated conservation work on these spiders amongst many other species. We need more people like these.

what a wonderful creature ,thankyou so much for this"Buglife"

We found this spider here living in Greece (syros). We just found this video when we were looking up info on it. Grateful for programs like this to help educate us and our kids.

Omg i just found this chanel by mistake and now i love it

I found a ladybug spider the other day! It was truly beautiful and the red was very vivid, what a shame I didn’t took a photo

love the love they both have for the spiders

Super interesting! And I like the atmosphere in this documentary :).

Ahhhhmazing work guys! I love spiders 😲😍

I bet she’s blushing when she called her beautiful.

Amazing, thank you for sharing!

Those are some really cute little spiders

They are one of the cutest spiders. 3rd place in my mind. 1st is the giant huntsman spider and the jumping spider is in second. Just how I think!

I saw a male crossing the sidewalk a few years ago in Hungary. I made some photos, and I remember it was quick and very pretty :)

Aww so beautiful 😍

Ian you are a legend. I have a pet orange ring ladybird spiders. I never knew we had them native to Uk xx

So beautiful! Simply gorgeous ❤️

wow, great video

I have found one in Albania. It's very beautiful

I wish I could get some velvet phids soon, maybe when I'm older😩 They just look soo cute!!!

We found a male ladybird spider at a beach in Greece 2 days before, it was stunning!

being a keeper of velvet spiders I would like to see a breeding program for this species, serval people breeding them

I've seen a male of these species ONCE in my entire life by accident for like 15 seconds. Never again before or after that.

wow .....hope they make a good recovery, would love to see one.

Wow, bring some to the US!!!! I know a few people who would probably be interested in breeding them. I would love to have a couple myself. So beautiful 😻. Tyfs God bless you

Oh and here it starts. Can't nature ever just be nature.

This was truly an amazing video. I have finally been able to see what their natural habitat is like. I have also realized that most, if not all of the keepers of this spider have the wrong set up. Giving it more of a tarantula set up with a more dry setting and no vegetation. Although I'm sure the vegetation is not a must. It's the dry, coco fiber and bark only set up seems unnatural. Anyways thank you for sharing this!

This is not a spider to have in captivity. Truly one of the many wonders of Heathland biodiversity and should flourish if Heathland environments continue to be preserved.

Different species, This one is from the U.K which prefers a more humid environment, a lot of different species of Velvet spider people keep tend to come from more Arid or dry regions.

Come round my place, saw 3 of em in a week or so.... Got a picture of one aswell on my phone

This man is doing God’s work

Cool

Are they part of the jumping spider family?

@paulhetherington8249

No they are the only UK member of the Eresidae or Velvet spiders family

Let me guess. Human impact brought this beauty to the brink of no return. Thank you for devoting 2 decades to saving them.

I fear for these spiders. Here in Dorset during the summer months, kids often start fires on the heathland 'for fun' causing the emergency services to scramble. Large areas of heath are often lost.

thankfully they are in an area the public do not have access too, and isn't one often traversed, plus kids would have to walk miles to reach this one without a car taking them there.

I'm so lucky because I found one of them in Rome

Afraid the exact locations are kept secret to protect the species as they are very vulnerable to footfall. There is an information centre and kids activity section about the spiders at RSPB Arne Nature Reserve

This isn't a ladybird. Ladybirds are insects (bugs/beetles). Ladybird spiders are are a rare type of arachnids (spiders) This video comes from the BBC's (British Broadcasting Corporation's) wildlife 'arm', from a program called Spring Watch that's been running every spring for about 15 years in the uk. High quality Public television (the kind of thing most countries don't bother to produce) NOT fake
