Water Spiders

Get ready to explore the world of a unique spider in the 'Water Spiders' book! The water spider is the only spider species that spends its entire life underwater. They are called water spiders, or diving bell spiders because the web that they spin underwater looks like a diving bell. Water Spiders have eight eyes in two or three rows, with one pair on each tubercle. Their long, thin legs are usually spread wide, and aquatic species are frequently found on the water's surface or along the pond's edge, with the front legs resting on the water. The colors and patterns vary, but they frequently involve longitudinal stripes that can be strikingly contrasting. These spiders usually live for about two years. Water spiders can be found in ponds, slow-moving streams, and other shallow bodies of fresh water with abundant aquatic vegetation. They are more active at night than during the day. The 'Water Spiders' book explains how these creatures eat a variety of arthropods, small fish, frogs, and tadpoles.
