I've grown up reading WWF magazines, I've collected nature cards, watched nature channels but I've never seen a live mating process so clear. It's one thing for someone to explain and draw a picture and nod your head and another to see it in action. Also, as a fan of blue things, that male is gorgeous!

That was really amazing camera work!!!! Ithink you are the only person to catch that up close!!!! INCREDIBLE!!🤩🤩🤩

I believe this is one of my favorite of all your videos. Such beautiful footage! That male is spectacularly lovely! I hope he has the chance to pass his colors down to his spiderlings and survives for many more pairings. Thank you for sharing!

That was amazing, it is the first time I have seen such amazing footage, you have such a relaxed way with each and every spider you own! I have witnessed a video that was totally disgusting, you really care about your spiders and it is so refreshing. I took a peep at another channel, they were doing four pairings at the same time, they were laughing, shouting and generally terrifying an already scared spider! Your spiders are treated so well with respect and your videos teach many ages of people and educate them about the tarantulas not being aggressive, these videos are so important for the next generation! Dave, your channel is amazing and I will be very happy when we can support you, thank you also to camera lady, much love to you both! ❤️🎄🤩🧸🕷☘️

Hello Dave and Camera Lady. That was truly epic! That male was a total stunner and I think the female agrees with me. She quite had the look of a puppy when she was crawling around on the edge after the male left. She seemed very pleased with herself. I noticed that she didn’t do any of the abdomen rubbing like some of the others do after pairing. Maybe the others should watch the Balfouri’s to see how it should be done. 😂😂Anyway, lovely to see you again. Amazing amazing video. You should send that one to National Geographic. Hope y’all have a great week. Take care and stay safe. - Susan-

I think that's the best pairing video yet! The emboli look like scorpion stingers, which makes sense since their related. Absolutely fabulous work as always Dave. Can't wait to see the sack, I'm guessing it will be a splendid one, as the male is a stunning specimen!

I feel dirty after watching this 🤣🤣 This is some National Geographic footage! Well done mate!

That was totally amazing. I love the blue on the male. I can’t wait to see the egg sack! May you have a lot of offspring from this pairing.

I went to an exhibit the other day that had alot of different animals and stuff..one little area had a tarantula...and I not only knew she was a lady, but I knew she was young and I wasn't afraid. I use to have a huge fear of spiders...in any capacity lol..but ive been watching dave for a while now and its actually helped my fear..I just think its great, and wanted to say thank you dave...cus you have taught me a lot about tarantulas..enough to ease my fear..I see them as just beautiful creatures now.

His blue was stunning! Hope all of his babies carry that trait. I'd say they definitely were successful. The diversity in behaviour within each species is what makes them so interesting and unique. I never realized just how much personality they have. But we as humans tend to be too preoccupied with our lives to take notice of these things. I do find them to be very interesting.

What a brave little guy! She is so much bigger than he is, but he's hanging in tnere...deserves a medal for courage!

That's one handsome male glad he made it out unharmed. I don't know if I would do a 2nd pairing, your know for sure the first one was right on the money. He to beautiful to lose. Love your videos keep up the hard work.

Yep, that male is a stunner for sure ! That blue is simply food for the eyes ;) The actual process of insemination was fascinating to observe. I'm sure it's something very few of us ever get to catch a glimpse of. Crossing fingers for yet another nice balfouri sac. Stay safe and thanks for sharing :)

Well...

I've learnt so much from you since then... anyway that was amazing mate.. cheers.👍😃👍.

It was your experience as a noir film director that made this video world class. However you gave the very handsome male the stage directions of "up on the glass" and "move slowly, slowly" the results were amazing. Not just educational but surely the very best within arachnid science and the hobby of spider breeding. Epic! And I beg to differ with Nick F--- no force was used on these beautiful spiders, just whispers of encouragement from "Director Dave".

Dave, I would like to live in your spider room 😅

I'm only able to watch these videos now because Dave's Little Beasties has helped me to overcome my arachnophobia! I didn't realize to what extent until I recently rewatched the Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King. Instead of feeling anxious when Shelob attacks Frodo, I now saw how close to an actual spider she was. Had to look up what species she's modeled after before I could continue. Australian tunnel web spider. :-D

It's interesting to see how she didn't flinch at all or seemed bothered at penetration and afterwards. Unlike other female species aggression and the constant cleaning/scratching of the epigastric furrow with their back legs afterwards. He seemed to have the gentle touch but in general that is got to be one of the least aggressive pairings I've seen on this channel. I wonder if this is common for the Monocentropus balfouri are they always so cool calm and collected while mating. As always amazing job guys 👍

99% of the balfouri go this way 👍

Haha, he "wooed" his lady pretty good, she was really into it; seems like she enjoyed his romantic approach quite a bit. ;) I am also glad he did not get eaten, that would have been rather sad. Congrats on catching this great angle and thanks for sharing and explaining, I learned new things about spiders again. The way the males have to literally crawl right underneath the females' fangs to "get it going on" explains why so many of them end up as a snack.

Hi dave, great vid, my balfori commune i got from you a year or so ago is doing great, they are like the alien face huuggers when they're all out, i love these T's, it's so interesting to sit and watch them interacting under the red lights at night, I can't wait till they start maturing, cheers yeti 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
