    Loved every minute of this video, this is a good way of producing content, Petko! Loved the driving to the place, the pauses for eating, the comments, the hunt... everything was very relatable and enjoyable. You're the best spider owner on the web, imho.

      strongly agree. petko's videos are a notch above the others. tarantula collective for example also has great editing and presentation, but theres like no actual content. just endless top 5 lists or repeated info. Dark Den is the complete package.

    That ant colony find was actually cool. The lighter ants are kind of a parasitic ant that takes over it’s host colony. They mask with pheromones and kill the host Queen

      I would say Petko's original assumptiom was probably more correct. It's not uncommon that you find two colonies in close proximity, for example heating up their brood under a stone.
      They were separated a lot more than a transitioning colony (going from host to parasitic species) would and the yellow ones were definitely Lasius sp., probably Lasius flavus species group (flavus, myops, idk), non-parasitic yellow ants. The dark ones I'm not sure, either Lasius or some Serviformica (fusca or cinerea groups, idk)

    Black Widows are a common household find where I come from, always in tiny little crevices in the walls or under window sills, around gardening equipment like a hose winder or rusty wheel barrow, etc. Hardly ever in the bushes. That's where the Huntsmans are.

I also wonder if they actually die seasonally or if maybe it's the drop in temp that kills them 🤔 I know blackwidows can live for years if the condition is right.

    I was really surprised at how well most croatians speak english, because it was the first time for me that I went to a country from which I don't know the language, because usually with german, english, french and spanish you can get really far^^
    The adriatic sea was really beautiful. Most beautiful sea i've seen yet and it made me want to have a sailboat on it :D
    I also witnessed a storm hitting the coast and i really enjoyed the moment and the rain while my friens were running for their lives haha^^
    It was really nice seeing you this happy when you finally found your widow:D
