People all dissing the Male Spider that got eaten, you don't understand! He saw his bro was failing and was going to either not get laid or get eaten, so he made the ultimate sacrifice to make sure that the female wouldn't eat his bro and that he would get laid. What a hero!
Finally a story with everything. Lust, betrayal, sex, murder, fatal attraction and dancing. A better love story than Twilight.
“Mesmerize or die” no pressure
Aww she loved his dance so much she got pissed when the other dude distracted her. True love <3
Fun fact: peacock jumping spiders were first discovered by a bunch of university students after they found two male peacock spiders. They named them Sparklemuffin and Skeletor.
I was watching this thinking aww they’re unbelievably cute how can anyone be scared of spiders... then she cannibalised the male 🤦🏻♀️
That's a big ass grain of rice
True fact: Peacock spiders do not have a "bro code."
Husband, “ What the f are you watching?”
Well that went from whimsical to "nature is scary af" quickly..

I love how at
Not counting the time Peter Parker was trying to stop that train, this is the absolute hardest I've ever rooted for a spider in my entire life
This video was easily some of the most stressful 5 minutes of my life. So much plot and tension
"The rival is not a mate but a meal"... . That was brutal and amazing at the same time!
Rival male: (steps in)

I'm not impressed when they can't even lip sync for their life
