"That video was awesome" says my 11 year old son who has both a pet rose haired tarantula and a pet Madagascan hissing cockroach. :)

The ending was epic funny in a nerdy way.

very instructive, caught the attention and corrected many mis conceptions of our seven year old grandson(Luke) who considers himself quite the spider wrangler.
thanks for a well done piece.

Surprisingly, this doesn't frighten me nearly as much as rows and rows of ants. Nicely done! Cricket shake sounds delicious. :)
