I love the little Peacock Spider. 
Not so keen on the Brazilian Wandering Spider though and I'm glad our bananas don't come from Brazil.
By the way, that strange white spider in the photo is not real.

If you still can't get the videos to work they also have written articles, but the videos are wonderful so it's a shame for anyone who can't access them.

I'm going to treat myself to a good second-hand camera soon -- need to find a good online course though! Hopefully I'll take some good shots.
