The Dark: Nature’s Nighttime World
For humans, darkness is menacing, forbidding, petrifying. It conceals the most dangerous and terrifying creatures on Earth, but it also holds some of the greatest, undiscovered mysteries of nature. Most animals are nocturnal, but they're seldom studied at night and rarely filmed in the dark. The Dark follows a team of wildlife experts on a mission to solve those wildlife mysteries. Braving the jungles and swamps of South America during the night, the team sheds light on previously unobserved creatures and strange behaviours, offering a new perspective on our wild planet.
Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

    I grew up in Bolivia and we had trapdoor spiders. We were good at finding them, as we did when my grandma went down to visit us. The trapdoor spiders would hold onto the trapdoors very firmly and wouldn’t let us open them without a lot more effort than in this video. I don’t remember ever sticking around long enough to watch them catch anything. I was glad to find this video to show to my son since he has never seen one.

    I was thinking the same thing but then again there's in-numerous amounts of insects out there and it must be pretty common for an insect to pass over their hole for the species to keep surviving. That said, I'm sure after an hour or so its "Oy Wally see if yas can wrangle up a cricket!"

    Possibly, but they also could have waited a long time, sitting and chatting amongst themselves, leaving the camera recording til an insect came along, and resumed watching, then of course when they've returned to the studio, they edit out the long wait. Maybe they waited a longish while, and when no insect had come along, they caught one and placed in nearby. 🙂

    I remember seeing a Trapdoor spider feeding video on Reddit and the spider just stuck a few legs out of its hole and slowly dragged it inside. So as I and my gf back then didn't particularly liked spiders we challenges ourselfs to watch a feeding compilation. The first video was the same I already saw where it was slow. Little did I know they usually jump out of their holes to catch the bugs like it did in the 2nd video. My girlfriend screamed and ran away while I threw my phone away from myself. Was a nice moment ngl

That's how it felt to be that poor cricket.
