Water spider

Discover the intriguing world of water spiders and learn about their unique adaptations and behaviors. Dive into the fascinating life of these remarkable creatures.
The tailless whip scorpion, aka the whip spider, looks a little like a cornucopia of different types of arachnids. With long, skinny legs they look like a spider, but nope. It’s not a spider. Its first pair of legs end in antennae that are used to help it see and locate prey, as they can’t see too well; even though they have multiple eyes. The large, scary-looking pedipalps look like giant, elongated claws. They look a scorpion’s claws, but this critter has no metasoma (tail) or telson...

"The Water Spider or Diving Bell Spider, is the only completely aquatic spider in the world. It is found in Europe and Asia, from the UK to Siberia, and lives in ponds, slow moving streams and shallow lakes. Since it cannot take oxygen directly from water, the Water Spider builds an underwater retreat with silk, and fills it with air it carries from the surface (by trapping air bubbles in the hairs that cover its body and legs)."

Warning! If you are arachnophobic you may not want to see this list, but I really suggest that you do. You may find that these creatures are more diverse and fascinating than they are creepy. Spiders have never ceased to amaze me; they are among the most abundant predators in the world and have adapted to almost any imaginable habitat except for the sea, giving rise to countless species many of which remain unknown to science. If people would stop to watch spiders instead of simply squashing…

Spiders prefer ground or arboreal dwellings, however, the Water Spider (Argyroneta aquatica) is different: spending most of its life underwater, only to resurface when replenishing its oxygen supply or to seek prey. Besides, it is the only spider where sexual dimorphism favors males.
