Evolution of Spider Webs

😃😃

Love the informative video but I can't stand the almost whispering ASMR.

what a load of false information that is not proven

Hi

I would love to go back in time and kill the first tick/mosquito and its parents.

Spiders are a close relative to scorpios. A spider is actually an evolution from a scorpio. Scorpio used to live only in water before getting out of it.

And first spiders used to have a tail like shown on the thumbnail

You forgot a branch of arthropods‼️ The hexapods (springtails &relatives) 🙃

Pill bugs are crustaceans too

Superbly presented - I love the accessibility of your videos and your delivery is excellent.

To anyone who thinks web design only came about after the internet, this is conclusive proof that it is a very very ancient field of work. 😅

This was very good. Thank you.

nice

My body felt itchy watching this.

They actually discovered a prehistoric spider web in amber. That blows me away on so many levels!
Thanks again Moth!

A CGI is called carnivorous Gillean incupod

The insect arms race is real

My question is: where did the webbing itself come from ?????????
(In relation to spiders)?? Why out of all living things that evolved, granted it ability TO MAKE silk ???

Imagine all the Amber pieces with specimins that have been looked at by ancient people that've been lost to time.

Wait, you're telling me that a grasshopper is closer related to a shrimp than to a spider?

The Trigonotarbida look like ticks very much. I suppose it makes sense. Aren't ticks of the arachnid family?

nice

It is so amazing that all life on the planet is the result of a program that successfully replicated after what were probably many false starts. If 150 million years ago a big fish had eaten another fish or if a soldier in 1095 died during the first crusade some of us humans would not be here today. That all 8 billion of us are alive today against incredible odds is the real miracle of life. I am 70 and thankful for my health and my mind, what remains of it.

By this logic, humans use lamplight to catch bugs for food, since several can be found having fallen victim to my lamp :D

Pennywise the Dancing Clown was really a spider 🕷.

I want to marry this man

Let's be glad that spiders don't fly. 🫣

You should check out the work of Dr. Johann Beringer. He actually found a fully intact fossilised spiderweb.

there was still giant (2ft wide) dragonflys in caerphilly, wales back around 2000, now im having nightmares that the spiders that might catch them might still exist there too 😮 wont be camping there again.

The first minute of this, kind of convinced me that there is some sort of intelligent creation involved in our world, because it just makes no sense that something lacking the ability to try new things, would develop and evolve into something as sophisticated as what you just explained.

Were there ever flying spiders?

Do 1 on the relationship between whip scorpions, vinegaroons, & early spiders.

Yo thanks for not being an AI voice.

Imagine the sizes of the webs during the carboniferous

Amazing!

how do thy really knw bout way back in day an why do i accept it whn thy tell it

Could you imagine being a tiny armed dinosaur and walking into a web

My man, thank you. Never for a second think you are spinning your web for no flies. Your content reminds me to stay dedicated to my studies and inspires me to keep digging. ❤

This is obviously sponsored by Big Spider. Yes spider masters I’m subscribed…there is no conspiracy monotone voice

It's 3:56 am and suddenly my mind will not rest until I know the evolution of spider webs and also several other things I don't know I care about yet.

So 150 million years from now someone will see my smeared spider i smooshed on my ceiling and say look this is when spider first evolved ability to parsittize human prey.

Great video. Very informative. Thank you

Web developers🤭

How does one evolve silk producing internal glands?

I like the idea of a show or movie that follows a spider in a high pace environment with tight deadlines where he’s constantly trying to develop the next big spiderweb design to ensure the survival of his species. That sounds like it would be a fun show

So cool.
