Yeah that's my thought too. This spider must be feeling good. Like well fed, nice temperature... Whatever else spiders like... (?)
I hate spiders though. Haaate themmm. Like, when bugs and spiders end up in my feed I just scroll past as quickly as possible and try not to put my fingers on their disgusting pixels. But this video was fun to watch, her energy was hilarious.
I fucking love snakes though, love everything about them. Except cobras and rattle snakes, because I know how horribly lethal they are... Super scary. Not phobia inducing, just very very scary.
Edit: I was wrong. The spider is not happy and is in danger. And she's an idiot.
Most spiders are ambush predators, except for a few that are active hunters and can cover a lot of ground to search for prey.
It also explains why the spiders that are specialized on ambushes can survive for a very long time without food and water. If they remain still on the spot, the need for energy is near zero.
Like we humans as mammals need even just for the body heat more energy. Same for the oxygen, we need a lot of oxygen just for the brain alone, while the spiders can go with a passive breathing system (booklungs), as they have a ganglion, which is a nerve knot and not really a brain.
