just saw this in my room the daddylong legs spiders are the best, they dont mess about or move too much, and theyre taking out the bigger more creapy spiders, best house pet ever
i knew the Daddy Longlegs would win. they're fast, stealthy, and opportunistic. they're even cannibals and will eat their own kind, as well as other spiders.
@@chronicyouth3288 Yes, the communal spider gave the silk structures they build their name, you might say they put the 'we' in 'web' - Comrade spiders, they're called - all the flies and other insects they catch are taken are confiscated by the more deceptive Apparatchik - a derivative species of the Comrade spider - who tricks them with mimicry by first appearing as a fellow Comrade spider but ultimately tricks them... Unfortunately many Comrade spiders resort to cannibalism then die due to starvation. True story guv, onest! :D
Cellar spiders are the arachnophobes friend! I have terrible arachnophobia but like you I don't mind them at all. I think it's their thin, hair-like legs and their tiny bodies, the fact that they don't move particularly fast and they don't come dashing out at you from under things. I actually welcome the cellar spider in my home and ensure I have loads of them living here. This video shows exactly why I do that!
Yes do so, I can recommend it! Honestly it really does keep the population of other spiders down. I try to keep at least one in each room. I even let a cellar spider set up its home next to my bed, as that helped me sleep at night!
I remember my dad downloaded this when I was about 6 or 7 because our wifi is almost unusable even facebook is hard to use so he had to download many videos usually spiders cuz Im a huge fan of spider since I was 3....ahhhhh memories
Very well done. You really made it tense and interesting. Had there been a deep-voiced narrator, I would have thought I was watching National Geographic. Good job.
I've seen this sort of thing happen in my room before, except the house spider wasn't even caught in a web. It was just dashing about, and the daddy-long-legs grabbed onto it and managed to subdue it. And the crane-fly, the spindly spider, and the harvestman spider are all nicknamed "daddy-long-legs".
No, as I said, go look it up. There was even a Mythbusters experiment where a guy got bit multiple times by Daddy Longlegs, or "Harvestmen," as they should be called. He didn't die, he only suffered minor inflammation at the site of the bites. Where did you hear that it was a proven fact that it was the most venomous spider? I haven't seen any scientific articles say that.
I don't have this luck. In my washing room downstairs there are both species, and unfortunately they seem to co-exist :S had to take out a house spider nest the other day. Wanted to keep the daddy long legs around, because I heard they exactly do this, but apparently not in my house. Amazing capture by the way, kudos.
This is why there's a ton of other spiders right outside my windows but even if I keep windows open they don't come in. All the ones that come get eaten by my pet pholcids.
@nyhyl do they stay put or no? i found one of these cellar spiders in my house and i'm not sure what to do. from what i read they are harmless. before i found this one i kept finding hobo spiders but since ive found these ive seen no hobo spiders
I should mention that pill bugs are (I think) members of the arachnid family, so a hobo spider eating a pill bug would be like eating a distant relative.
That happen right now, there was was black house spider near me and flake it away and it got caught in a web and the other spider literally decapitated the black house spider. Im so thankful.
Excellent. We are in the UK and have Pholcidae spiders in our house. They are the most elegant, yet spooky spiders I have observed. They move so slowly but you see them, look away and then they are the other side of the ceiling. I have watched mothers guard a clutch of eggs, a larger house spider approaches, you think "oh dear that fragile thing is in trouble" yet every next morning the Long Legs sits safely with her eggs, a large bundle suspended below. Superb, beautiful and scary.
I've had cellar spiders around my front porch for a few years...I just went out and some HUGE monster of a spider (not sure what it is, big and brown, about 3" long, big belly, no distinguishable markings so it's not a recluse, thankfully) is sitting there on the threshold...and no more cellar spiders!
According to wikipedia: There is an urban legend stating that daddy long-legs spiders have the most potent venom of any spider, but that their chelicerae (fangs) are either too small or too weak to puncture human skin; the same legend is also repeated of the harvestman and crane fly, also called "daddy long-legs" in some locales. Take that as you will.
I love cellar spiders. I had one living in my room for a while. They keep the big tegenaria spiders away which is especially a problem now it's almost September
Ok guys, sorry, I just have to clear everything up so theres no misunderstanding. First of all, the larger house spider wandered into the daddy long legs nest. When you're a spider home court advantage almost always equals a win. Also, yes, they have the most toxic venom, only to insects though. This indoor variety IS a spider, while the outdoor ones are not. And that was not a brown recluse. But, the house spiders do bite but will usually only cause minor irritation. Longlegs are safe to handle
There is a one down at the foot of the stairs outside my room, i claimed it as my friend to my boyfriend who knows im not a fan of spiders (or creepy crawlies in general, i Don't hurt them so i have asked them not to bother me in return!) He asked me why and i went straight to CZcams looking for exactly this content!
For all those saying Daddy Long Legs is not a spider, the same nickname is applied to three bugs. Two of which are not spiders and one of which is. All Australians know this spider as "daddy long legs" (and some parts of North America also) it is also known as cellular spider or something like that. They are Pholcidae.
where i live we get massive daddy long legs insides and house spiders but i recently discovered 100s of smaller long legs in my garden and i was freaking out!
That house spider was clearly trapped in the cellar spider's messy web. Makes you wonder what the result would be if they met out in the open on equal terms
Its deffo a set up. I have a house spider in my room and saw it take down an adult daddy longlegs in 15 seconds. It also took down a big moth, a fly and a wasp. It doesnt use a Web, it simply relies on stealth, speed and agility.
+GSG SWAT They are very good yes these spiders are my allies they take care of every other spider and i don't mind these because you can hardly see them lol
Adult cellar spiders are capable of spraying silk onto their victim, including house spiders, before delivering the bite. They're known to kill house spiders. The house spider you were talking about most likely got lucky. Cellar spiders prey on worse spiders than them.
Yes, interesting how cellar spiders never seem to bite their prey whilst the prey is still capable of fighting back. They make sure they are incapacitated by web first
what's nuts about this tiny fragile-looking harmless spider is it eats some of the most venomous spiders in the world such as the hobo, redback and black widows
A video description should be like this: "This is a film I made of a Daddy Long-Legs Spider fighting a beaten down house spider which was dropped into the Daddy Long-Legs Spider's territory. Do you think a house spider has any chances of surviving?"
Used to be all house spiders here - has been all my life - but over the last couple of years have noticed them being all replaced by these long bodied spiders. Would love to know where they originate. Also saw some extremely weird tropical looking spiders in the garden when down in Kent last year.
That's not a dandy-long legs xD that's known as the cellar spider, commonly confused as a dandy-long legs. They're cousins, but this guy here is known as: Pholcus phalangioides. They're commonly known as the cellar spider, and I hate them with a passion lol. Cool video though!
This looked completely set up, seems to me like the film maker placed/forced the house spider into the web, spiders do not usually get stuck or go near other spiders webs, hardly a fair fight, I did do a similar thing myself though but in fair conditions, I had to save the house spider as it could not fight off the daddy long leg as it's reach was to great and simply incapacitated the bigger built house spider in silk, I intervened, cleaned it up and set it free, proof that just because a creature is bigger does not make it tougher, but apart from that... Great filmmaking !!!
ARCEYE78 ive come to this video because i have this cellar spider on the ceiling corner and i dont mind him there he's just caught a house spider twice his size they baffle me.
Brilliantly shot. The spindly spider is a cellar spider (along with the cranefly and harvestman- not a true spider nicknamed daddy-long-legs). The beefier looking spider is a tegenaria gigantea (housespider - seen in homes in autumn looking for a mate). The cellar spider, while weedier, can confuse prey (and it DOES build a web) by shaking its web violently when threatened. Also, its venom is more toxic than the tegenaria. Great video. Beautifully shot.
Yup, daddy-long legs is incredibly venomous, but their teeth don't sink in our flesh far enough to actually harm us. Also, daddy long legs are not spiders. They have 6 legs and 2 antenna.
It actually was a Cellar Spider and a common house spider. Cellar Spiders are not actually related to Daddy long legs(Harvestmen), but are less distructive then the Daddy long legs(only for insects)
At 0:35 you can see a house spider already wrapped up (look at his left legs). Moreover, at 0:57 the house spider is beaten up like he is filliped off. Despite being wrapped up, the house spider could still reach the Pholcidae grabbing and biting at some of Pholcidae's legs which would cause those legs to get detached.
oh you shouldn't be afraid of those actually some spiders like that have black and whit bandings on their elbows. and the spider that u were seeing was a cellar spider fighting the house spider.
You serious? They're the one spider that doesn't bother me at all, it's the big bodied ones I can't stand. house spiders creep me the fuck out - daddy long legs are spiderbros
I'm a massive arachnophobe but pholcidae are the one type I literally have no issue with. For whatever reason, their appearance isn't in the slightest bit terrifying like pretty much every other spider is. I let them be and they clear the house of house spiders and other unwanted beasties. The true spiderbro.
there were a bunch of daddy long legs at where I live not in the house but outside they were harmless now we don't see them but still are awesome also called a Cellar Spider.
just saw this in my room the daddylong legs spiders are the best, they dont mess about or move too much, and theyre taking out the bigger more creapy spiders, best house pet ever
There is no other creepy spider
agreed. but they love to breed in my bathroom. baby spiders everywhere, once the egg sac hatches.
nah, my first is the jumping spider, then cellar spider.
Daddy Long Legs aint even spiders
@@kidzbop819 They are depens on which daddy long legs There are 3 daddy long legs
The round one
The mosquito one
the spider one
cellar spiders a mans best friend
i knew the Daddy Longlegs would win. they're fast, stealthy, and opportunistic. they're even cannibals and will eat their own kind, as well as other spiders.
All spiders are cannibals to be fair
@@bctiger575 some spiders are communal...

True story guv, onest! :D
Cellar spiders are 'bad ass', however, their cobwebs are an annoyance on ceilings and stuff.
True but they’re hardly visible at least in a well lit room. Plus they sweep away easily if abandoned.
This just happened in my room. I love daddy long legs.

Better fight than Endgame
Wow, great footage, and the sound design was epic. Thanks for posting this!
I dont like any spiders but if I had to pick which one I like more.. def cellar

This was a victory I didn't expect to see
amazing video, the lighting, the angles it was shot from, the music, are perfect and with national geographic quality into the bargain! great stuff
If it doesn't pay rent, then it has to go.
Lmao
But your dog doesn’t pay rent either

I think harvestmen is a different kind and has no web
Great filming, cutting and music. Good work.
Great material, really great. Especially for something recorded with household equipment.
I imagine the house spider's thinking: "Well, this is ironic."
OMG I love the sound effects. Great movie!
Harvestmen and cellar spiders are both called daddy long legs in the US, and cellar spiders (which is what's in this video) are true spiders.
What a great video! I am amazed by this artful piece!
If spiders could talk he'd be telling that house wife spider. Whos your daddy!!! Whos your daddy!!!
That was great!
Serious thought the house was going to win but no haha; was on the edge of my seat.
wow thats pretty amzing man!!i never new a daddy long legs could do that to a house spider...AMAZING 5/5
Well shot video, thank you for uploading this.
great video. wow. now i have to reexamine my lack of fear for the daddy long leg. awesome video

Wanted to keep the daddy long legs around, because I heard they exactly do this, but apparently not in my house. Amazing capture by the way, kudos.
Spiders are the single most misunderstood species.
I love these guys.
Those are some great film actors!
your so right dude, one day the made a daddy longlegs bite a human, but it only left a little pinch, the deadly posion of that spider is just a myth
This is why there's a ton of other spiders right outside my windows but even if I keep windows open they don't come in. All the ones that come get eaten by my pet pholcids.
Nicely done!
really nice video. nice soundtrack too. well done
The claws of this tiny spider could never puncture a human dermis....
@nyhyl
do they stay put or no? i found one of these cellar spiders in my house and i'm not sure what to do. from what i read they are harmless. before i found this one i kept finding hobo spiders but since ive found these ive seen no hobo spiders

Wow I didn't expect that, took out the bigger spider like a boss.
Yes it is - there are three separate species of invertebrate known as "Daddy longlegs". This is one of them.
I just woke up and I saw the thumbnail as a very quality picture 💀
That happen right now, there was was black house spider near me and flake it away and it got caught in a web and the other spider literally decapitated the black house spider. Im so thankful.

I thought the skinny leg spider was toast. Wow. Excellent video.
this is one of the best on youtube
that's not the harmless daddy long leg, that's the male spider trying to mate i think
Now that's a meal and a half, even for a daddy long legs.
Now that looks like one wrapped tasty treat there at the end! ;)

Possibly my favourite spider, purely based on the fact they take no shit from other, bigger spiders
whoaaa. Nice tactics there, mister longlegs.
Very good, i love these spiders.
WOW! that was not the ending i was expecting, don't mess with those things :)

LOL! 1:38 through 1:40 daddy long legs looked like it was like boxing lol
can you be allergic to the webs and how do you get rid of them if you know?
@KoD4CK What makes you think that? i thought it was either a black widow or funnel web lolz
"You came to the wrong neighborhood, mutha fuckah."
The shoe is the spider's worst nightmare
gr8 work with the vid mate. like watchin a little documentary. lol.
