The male peacock jumping spider (Maratus volans) must dance for his life. In order to woo a female and avoid being eaten, he performs an intricate dance using a brilliantly colored fan attached to his abdomen. If the female approves, he is allowed to mate. If not, he becomes her next meal.

@Thaine Smith TV humans too
glad we didn't evolve from a species like that :P
As that classic ol human song goes..'Love Hurts.'..but..It is Still Well Worth the Journey😊💙💜💘💜💙..
At least the poor itty bitty fuzzy liddle lad got to danse for his True Sweet Beloved and hold her magically entranced and mesmerised for a beautifully brief Exquisite moment in Time and Space💕..
(/-\)..pity his missus couldn't just drop a few coins into his empty guitar case,thank him tenderly, and then give the magical tiny muse a chance for escape and to dance again on his planetary meaderings😉..
@@Carl-LaFong1618 ..Didn't know if he was coming or going...XD
I like how he literally has to dodge her while dancing. This boy has moves.
Correction: this boy *had* moves
@@locrytham He still dances in our hearts.
yes very poisonous
@@isa_tokcastillo5956 poisonous? How stupid for a *jumping spider*
Had*🥺
I heard of dancing with death but this is ridiculous.
Charles Begle 😂😂
lol
*groucho marx voice*
To us? Yes. To a spider? Not really. It’s a living.
Besides, he dies happy.
“The biggest threat of all is the female that he’s after.” I felt that on a visceral level.
Imagine we did dis az a thing when making babies.
"She kills him anyway"
Yeah wtf
sounds about right rofl
Sounds like human females, but differently type of kill....financially, emotionally....
@@argent2020 lmao who hurt u hun

Lol but somebody copied you in the same vid but dif channel
Thats what she said

😩😱
R.I.P. the poor guy eaten by the woman he loved.
Kkkkkkk
It’s Mr MVP, SIMP!!!
That's how life is for spiders in their own world
Dude it wasn't funny at all.
Yea
Macro-filming is exquisitely gorgeous here.
All he needs are teeny tiny ballet shoes
And a teeny tiny chain saw to wave around like Leatherface
8 of them, and some white gloves
Cuuuuuuute!!!
@@blown22 Pffft Lol
D
Always wondered how they get such amazing shots considering how small that spider is
Very very expensive camera equipment.
Very very small man
Ant man does photography on his spare time
Extremely expensive macro cameras. Some newer phones have macro cameras too. Mine does, I got some sick pictures of New Zealand jumping spiders with it the other day :)
@@Lunabyesgirllll we wanna see 🎉 (which phone ?)
Mom, what was dad like?
Well, he was a wonderful dancer, that's why I fell in love with him. Also he was really juicy.
Also yummy and nutritious
He was so handsome that I could just eat him. So, I did!
And that’s how I gave birth to you.

He's so cute 😭he tried his best
THAT'S COLD. SHE KILLED EM ANYWAY?? ALL THAT DAMN DANCING HE DID? 🤦🏿♂️
He got to mate tho.
Some smarter jumping spiders run the f away. But he was just dazing there.
So she technically took the kid. What else she wants to speak to the manager.
Typical women, take take take, no appreciation,
@@PhrostyGaming sexist. How old are you even to say shit like that?
@@PhrostyGaming stfu these are spiders, its nature.
Male: THIS WOMAN IS MY DESTINY~ SHE SAID~
Female: Ooh~ Ooh~ Shut up...just shut up.
Male: D':
CJCroen1393 Just shut up and dance with me!
I love these little spiders. I only ever saw 1 in my whole life and he was in my front yard. I caught him cus he was on something I was moving and he had the most beautiful blue and vivid orangey red on him. He was lovely. I showed my kids then put him back in my garden. I hope he had lots of babies.
when frogs. insects and snakes are colourful.its a warning they are venomous. do not touch .
RIP
I can just imagine the female being like “Dance for me peasant”
“Mom, what was dad like?”
“Tender”.
He dodged her strikes sooo many times before he got some. Bravo Bob and weaving though!!!
Me: Awe.. he’s so cu- *she kills him* WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE?!?
The female needs a snack to give birth to more cute males
Circle of life
It was neat to learn that apparently most male spiders actually *present* themselves for eating rather than being unwilling victims. Because the young AND the mother are going to need the nutrients present, they'll often basically give themselves to the female as a sacrifice. It's neat!
True, a lot do. There’s even some that become paralysed and stuck to the female in a coma-like state after mating. Then she can eat him, or he’ll just starve to death on her. Then there’s some like Male black widows that attempt to escape.
@@theworthysoulimagine if we did dis az a thing of sex
Just like my ex wife😅
That is really cool indeed. And then some of the females also sacrifice their own bodies when the babies are born because they feed off of her so extensively that she ends up dying too. Both parents sacrifice themselves in the end for the babies. Nature is crazy.
I read that in the spider world, the female kills and eats the male, then she sacrifices herself to her babies and they eat her. The very home a spider spins is a web wh8ch can be destroyed in the blink of an eye... The spider truly has the weakest of homes. It reminds me of a Quranic verse in a chapter called "The Spider" where God says:
((The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.))

Lmfaooooo
He's only the size of a grain of rice. So cute!
He got eaten like one too!
😂😂whattt
I awed in cuteness. Grabbed my face just smitten with their cuteness. Then she ate him.... my jaw dropped. Lol
I opened CZcams saw a recommendation for a cat with a cyst video and then saw things about Tarantulas and have been watching spider videos since.... I really need to go to bed. Lol
I have a spider phobia but I was hooked. It was like watching a whole horror movie but in 3 minutes. I had so many emotions going through me at the same time. The twist at the end made me almost shit my pants. I was so sure it was gonna end happily but that’s how you know it’s a good movie 🙌🏻❤️😂
You mean arachnophobia? It's a fear of arachnids, including spiders.
Me first: awe 🥰
But now her need is over .. 😐 so she kills him anyway... 😐😦that moment when u die inside... lmao
Ikr I kept saying aww he's so cute please don't die 😭
@@dragonempress8367 lmaooo. I feel u. 😂😪
Just like our lives lol
I had one of these little guys visiting my front gate for 3 days in a row, and i would just sit and hang out with her after school. After she left I've never seen one of her kind again. Miss her so much, she's the cutest little creature I've ever met. :(((
theres a whole bunch of them behind my backyard
I know a few women just like her lol
Oscar yes but you lived to tell the tale.
Yeah, respect
They need to be beaten up
Or you made her that way 🤫
@@POWMAJ nah females are nuts in every species 😂
I read or heard somewhere that new generation of peacock spiders can’t use old dancing moves of their dads as it somehow becomes ineffective over time. So with the passage of time, moves become more and more sophisticated, and some new elements get added making it improbable to use old fashioned dancing styles when it comes to mating
one day michael jackson will be reborn as a peacock spider and doing the moonwalk
Do the male jumping spiders lose their biological needs to get away from danger after mating or why didn't he jump to safety like during the ritual? If so, could this have evolved for the very reason you mentioned, because the males actually provide a nice little buffet for the next generation, therefore favouring a trait of non-fleeing males?
Or maybe he was just unlucky that time ...
probably because he didnt have the energy to. also because when female spiders eat the male, a nutrient source, the babies would be better developed than a female spider who didnt eat the male so there could be a trait that "paralyzes" the male after sex or a female trait that paralyzes the male after sex. its similar to male and female praying mantis relationship, i think.
Don't forget the possibility that he may be OK with sacrificing himself for the mother and his kids.
jameswoll
Call me sceptical but I doubt an organism the size of a grain of rice can contemplate about sacrifice and future benefits.
KoneSkirata Well said.
Right, that creature does not contemplate about sacrifice and future benefits, but you will think about the future and sacrifices of the things you will create, when the technology advances that much.
Even though the size of your creation may be as big as a rice or even smaller, nano bots etc.
3:09 betrayal...
Lost the lead
1:48 Me watching the spoiled kid in Walmart throw a tantrum
A grain of rice?! Props to the camera crew for filming this!
Life is so silly. I can’t believe that some animals dance and even evolved different colors and features to dance more effectively. They literally have their own choreographys. Man what even is life.
I thought, awe too sweet.. Then... 😲 She still killed his ass. 😂
1:32 "Woah Jamal, don't pull out the 9!"
They're kinda cute lol
Spiders are crazy adorable
My boy was dodging like a king tho
They are so cute. I wish there were rat sized versions I could have as a pet.
You can have the tiny ones
Which sane person would wish for rat sized spiders jesus
@@whitexavier7292 😂😂oof
@@ec23472 No Tarantula is that cute.
Can we talk about how casually he says "So she kills him anyway."?
Female spider; I'm gonna eat ya
Masculine sipder; *dance tango*
Female spider; ಠ_ಠ
The way he wipes his “Glasses” is cute.
The female calls the shots. Welcome to every males life.
That spider looks like he's bringing in a airplane hahahahaha
Hahaha 😂
Wow so sad.......... After all those tries they mate then the male dies😥😥😥😥😥
@Masticatious he died. If you're partner killed you for no reason you would be upset too
Footage like this leaves me in awe. The amount of skill and dedication it must take to get these shots. It's hard to even grasp that this isn't cgi.
Omg the ending had me so shook my mouth fell open and I had to stop eating
James Wilkinson I’m not sure the type of women you’re dating, but it’s abnormal for a woman to kill and eat her partner after sex.
Props to the camerman who had to shrink down to the size of a grain of rice!
I had such high hopes for this crafty male spider. He had amazing dance moves that would make MC Hammer jealous. RIP male spider. ❤️
Adorable spider gets eaten by adorable spider
Y'know, when you think about it, the Peacock Spider would be the ultimate animal gymnast. Obviously it has the rhythmic routine down to a tee, but it's clearly also very good at vaulting and knows how to walk a narrow beam.
Aww 💕 at the end Aw 😂 that's how life can be, don't fall in love too quick lol
Just goes to show guys will do anything to get laid lol 😂
I have to say, those spiders look really cute lol
"I mean... You flailed your arms around. It's not like I am killing the best dancer in the world, now, am I?
He waltzed right in there, made her heart sway and skip, shimmied into her skirt, dirty danced, and for the finale, a Kiss of Death.
Oml its the size of a rice? Its gorgeous! I love macro lenses to see all these amazing creatures up close❤❤
Still a better love story than Twilight.
Jumping spiders are so cute
Well! That was Brutal! And just when we all fell in love with him and thought he'd get a Pass!
Jumping spiders are the cutest insects
Fr
The female is the most vicious. Of any and all species. I'm glad I'm one✨💃✨
PERIOD LIKE SLAYYYYYY🎉🎉🎉
how is this the funniest thing of my night?
"She kills him anyway"
He performed his heart out and she ate him....
0:30 "Sorry wrong door"
Wow if I was him I'd have decided to stay single
The way he was hidden in the corner staring at her with those beady eyes
“What can he do to win her over?”
Patrick: Do what you were born to do! Dance!
THEY ARE SOOOOOO CUTE
She’s a mood lol
0:12 THEY WAVED AT THE CAMERA!!!! My heart is melting
This takes "Gold Digger" to a whole new level.
Beautiful colors. Nature is amazing
Nour Masri Ok. Sorry bud. I’ll take that off 👍👍
Nour Masri Sorry. I shouldn’t have said all that.
@@apieceofdirt4681 I also took it off :) don't worry we're both fine I hope. (^-^) please take care and have a good day
Nour Masri You as well bud 😊😊
Great video - thanks.
No need to feel too bad for the little guy, people. Though he lost his life, he succeeded in making the next generation. That, alone, is the biggest achievement for any living organism on Earth.
00:03 AMAZING cinematography..
Geese! Rocky was right. "Women weaken the legs" He could really dodge and move until after his last act of love. It's so cool how our Father intelligently designed creation. We have male peacocks that dance and display colors to impress their mate and tiny spiders the size of rice that do the same. Thanks for sharing such high quality imagery of this.
Well at first the male was actually kinda pretty but then...BOOM! There he goes
2:56 reported for porn
BABY SPIDER: Mommy, what happened to daddy?
MOM SPIDER: Let's just say he was very juicy 🩸🩸🩸
Matter of fact, we're having his leftovers tonight!
Male spider: *dances*
Female spider: 👁️👄👁️
all the time he is like
"catch me if you can"
0:19 HOLY CRUD THATS TINY
this is the cutest thing i‘ve seen in a while
Not the slow wiping of his eyes as he spots a female😭
Such a flamboyant spider...
This little spiderman is a right hero with amazing engagement💕
Im terrified of spiders and i thought i was slowly overcoming my fears just a tini bit even though i was still on edge. I thought he was kinda cute and then the end happened and i pressed pause so quick. My heart skipped a beat. She ruined it. 😖 seriously was barley hanging on with the nice part of the video. The end almost took me out the game, my heart had to restart itself 😣😣😣
"so, she kills him anyway" The narrator says so calmly
Autism in Australia within the presence of the spider scene I witnessed seems pleasant
I saw on google that *peacock spiders* are actually nice!
It's sad that he didn't make it at the end, I liked his moves
In human terms:-
Oh, hi, you're just in time. I've just put the oven on.
This? Oh, it's just a huge carving knife. Can you dance for me and I might let you stay for dinner.
Hi that’s one Lady you wouldn’t want to go on a date with LOL thanks for the fantastic video I think I’ve watched it three times
If women would respect there bodies like this female spider does the world would be better!!
Female: Your dancing was beautiful... Now I'm gonna eat you!
Male: Aw thanks, dea- Wait! What?!
Female: Hon, its the best way you can support the children until they hatch.
Male: *sigh* Yes, dea- Ooh! Ah! Eh! Aaack! *dead*
Me: HA SIMP!
For a roll in the hay that awesome, maybe it was worth it!
Love this little spider. Was terrified of them. I got over my fear in my 30's. Shame we don't have them here in U.K.
1:10 me when there’s only 1 piece of cake left and I only had 1 and everybody had 2

The whole thing is mindblowing. Questions over questions.
