The Incredible Aqualung of the Diving Bell Spider

Otherwise known as the water spider, the diving bell spider is one of a kind. Found in the ponds of Northern and Central Europe as well as parts of Northern Asia, this air-breathing arachnid is the only spider that spends her entire life underwater. The spider is distinguished by the fact that she spins a ‘diving bell’ of air trapped inside a cocoon of silk, a wonder of nature’s design she uses for consuming prey, mating, raising offspring and more.
