How does the water spider breathe?
The water spider (right) is a rarity among spiders, for it builds its web under water, attached to pond plants. The web — or ‘bell’ —is made of very finely woven silk strands which are waterproof. Even though it lives under water, the water spider must breathe air, like all spiders. So, once the bell is Complete, the water spider climbs to the surface of the pond and traps a bubble of air on the tiny hairs of its body. It takes this bubble hack down to t he hell and once inside, releases it. Alter several t rips t hell is full of air, and the spider t hen has an air-tilled nest in which it can live.
Water spiders do not use their webs to catch food as many spiders do. Instead, they hunt tiny water creatures called water lice and take them back to their hell to eat them in safety. Water spiders are found in ponds all over Europe, and, although not native, are now also to be seen in parts of the United States of America.
