Turret Spiders Launch Sneak Attacks From Tiny Towers

There are strange little towers on the forest floor. Neat, right? Nope. Inside hides a spider that's cunning, patient and ruthless Deep: We've received several questions about how turret spiders mate if they don't stray from their own individual burrow. When male turret spiders are mature enough, they venture out looking for females. They usually wait until the fall after the rains have started which keeps the spiders from drying out when they are above ground. A male turret spider will (very carefully) enter a receptive female's burrow and they mate. The males don't return to their burrows and the females aren't looking for a roommate, so it's pretty much the end of the line for the males. The females live much longer and may have multiple clutches of eggs throughout their lives. They lay their eggs in their burrow and when they hatch, the spiderlings venture out and start excavating their own burrows nearby. That's why it's common to find a few small turrets surrounding a larger turret that belongs to their mom. It's very rare to see these activities and we weren't able to film them for this short episode. Hope you like it! - Josh Cassidy, Producer/Cinematographer

Ive found one of them before but I accidentally destroyed its home so I took the top off of the part I accidentally took and covered the opening again
Edit: the turret was closed off so when I accidentally opened it, I saw a spider inside which was why I covered it with the top, rather than the body that was torn from the tuve itself.

this spider would actually create an interesting inspiration for a form of a hybrid bio-machine fantasy monster. a spider hiding in a camouflage bunker, capturing and killing targets in close range, while shooting from afar against foes using a built in turret.

In Afghanistan they combined a bunch of bugs together to see who would win. It wasnt the spiders, camel spiders, ants or scorpions, the real hero was the potato bug (pill bug or Roly-polys for weirdos) who survived till the end. True friendly heroes.

Shiny spiders are a nope from me, i love their hairy cousins, and jumping spiders are the cutest, and velvet spiders are good, but shiny makes me uncomfy, looks like an attack tick

I love how the last clip of a turret spider eating has the prey accidentally close up the opening! How often does that happen, I wonder?

Some dude went to visit a California national park and saw these turrets and said I'm going to make a movie about it, called it Aliens

Does anyone else laugh at that quick little jab it did on 3: 18? Maybe it's the music but it's almost like a get outta here human!

Those live in the area I live! Ahh! Freaky little things. I've seen them but didn't know anything about them. That was cool!

Why was I recommended this spooky video about a not so spooky spider? Its not even October. Im not complaining though
reply

Can you please stop filming these in CA, so I can stop freaking out about running into these horrifying insects?

Bro watching this my toe brushed against a piece of paper at the foot of my bed and I kicked the air so hard

Looks like pikmin is going to have an easier time getting ideas for new enemies than other franchises.

The comparison between the baby spiders turrets right next to his mothers turret is too wholesome: )
