LOOK! Phormictopus cancerides feeding video

[Stewart Macgregor]

Here's a short video of my P. cancerides catching a cricket. This just sums up how mental they are! The cricket doesn't even know what's hit it...Absolutely fantastic species, one of my favourites at the moment

Here's another clip that I shot in widescreen format. This will be the format I'll be using for my upcoming documentary about the tarantula hobby.

Same tarantula, another mental strike. Love the attitude of this species! I hope to get a couple more slings of them at the BTS show this year.
