This is great! I love how one of the males towards the end looks like a muppet.

Garh, if i saw any of them I would give them a new home:

Even though they are quite fascinating, it's a no for me.

Even if his dance was extra good? He could be giving you his all! What if he had the spirit of MICHAEL JACKSON in his dance? Would you smash a moonwalking spider?

I hate most spiders but I love that! Of course, then I watched this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYIUFEQeh3g (spider dancing to YMCA) and almost peed myself laughing.

I finally forced myself to watch it long enough to see what it was. Very interesting creature, but it wouldn't last long if found in our apartment. I'm terrified of spiders and my fiance literally freezes up, unable to move at all, when she sees one. She's lucky I love her as much as I do, cuz it takes all my willpower to get the ones we occasionally get in apartment. I'm usually making my own noises of disgust/fear when I do though...

These spiders are so fancy and awesome until the ladies get tired of their smooth moves and eat their little wiggling behinds!

Fascinating! Absolutely loved Mister "SparkleMuffin" but the overall award goes to the YMCA dance @megmaholm found...almost fell off the chair at the bomp-bomp-bomp-bomp "hand" claps!!!!

I have respect for spiders, I don't squish them, I let them outside.

I think I'd have a heart attack even thinking about trying to capture one. :covereyes:

I respect spiders... By staying the heck away from them!!! I do let them outside when i can. When i can't they hang out in the vacuum for a little bit.
