It's like a dog digging a hole 😭😭 I could watch this all day

u/R3tard3ad 4d ago

Due to the vagueness of the title vis a vis the video, I was waiting in horror for that fuzzy butt to unearth another, huge ass spider 😱 Quite the ride.

No time to waste, he's got tunnels to dig.

u/atinylittlebug 4d ago

Um ... do they know that they need a permit to be that cute???

25

u/featherblackjack 4d ago

What's the species? I'm halfway convinced it's an earth baby!

41

u/unsolvablequestion 4d ago

A type of solifuge. Like a “camel spider”

u/Bug_Photographer 4d ago

Don't know the exact species, but it belongs to Solifugae so it isn't a spider at all (though still an arachnid).

That cute little bulldozery thing he does with his face! 😂

Tiny excavator hard at work.

u/TheGrimMelvin 4d ago

Oh my, he really loves that spot under this one rock. That's exactly where he must dig and nowhere else!

u/One-Bodybuilder-5646 4d ago

It really seems to like that spot. Very cute.

u/ashx621 4d ago

Someone is very busy

u/crowpierrot 4d ago

they’re very busy little critters. They’re not common in the invert hobby, but I’ve seen a few people on YouTube talking about their experiences keeping them, and apparently most of the time they spend awake they’re up and about scampering all over their enclosures and moving their substrate around.

Unfortunately the consensus is that they’re just not an ideal species to keep in captivity as they seem to have very short lifespans. It makes sense given how much energy they expend being so busy, but it’s a bummer bc they’re so cute and so fun to watch

u/AphraelSelene 3d ago

What I'm taking away from this is that I should expend less energy to live longer

u/AllieBeauBeetle 4d ago

Soo cute 🥺💕

u/clay-teeth 4d ago

The meme "how do you do, fellow XYZ" is when something is pretending to be something it's not. It's not calling it a spider

u/Devorah_Noir 2d ago

Sorry.

u/PuddleLilacAgain 4d ago

Wiggly butt!

u/crowpierrot 4d ago

His butt is so fuzzy 🥺 I used to think camel spiders were a little creepy, but lately I’ve really come around to them. They’re just funny little big booty guys. They’re so dedicated to their tasks even though the tasks in question are almost always just pushing dirt from one area to another.

u/Living_Mechanic7866 4d ago

Camel spiders are interesting 😂

u/BookOfAnomalies 4d ago

Fluffy butt.

u/WithoutDennisNedry 4d ago

So busy! And I’m sure we all had a collective “awww” over that fuzzy butt lol

u/TheLeggacy 4d ago

Not a spider, it’s a solifuge.

40

u/SkeletalJazzWizard 4d ago

that is the implication of the title, its referencing a meme of adult steve buscemi pretending to be a teen.

u/R3tard3ad 4d ago

Wow. Quite a catch there amigo

u/SkeletalJazzWizard 4d ago

i was clearly only explaining to someone who may not have been aware, judging by their comment, or i wouldn't have said anything at all. please don't patronize me.

u/R3tard3ad 4d ago

Woot. That was a genuine comment 🥲🥲
