You think that spider knew:
1. It couldnt breathe under water
2. Knew it needed Oxygen to breathe at all (much less under water)
3. Knew it could and needed to trap air in the hairs of its abdomen so it could go under water and breathe and eat?
All because of Evolution?
i didnt knew that water spiders exist before today (i caught some water animals in a lake) and now im probably never gonna do it again :O
@ConstructionMadness It lives primarily in the central,northern regions of Europe and Japan.
This is a really cool spider, but it doesn’t breathe under water. It has special hairs on it’s abdomen to trap air around it. That’s why it looks silvery.
What I found interesting is this spider is perfectly capable of living on land but chooses to live under water.
i like spiders and now another cool underwater spider
its crazy how creatures have evolved and adapted to to different enviroments. nonetheless spiders living hunting eating breeding adn breathing underwater. very intelligent creatures. this is my favorite spider right next to the one that does cartwheels down desert hills.
awesome video and thank you for posting it.
are they like other spiders where you should keep them seperately? I want some soooo bad but have no idea how to get them in the u.s.
Spiders only scare people on land ? Well Tough shit, this one decided to grow its own scuba gear and fuck you all over…
to be honest, i think we get these in britain, too. i’m going to see if we do. by the way, i see you have a thing about mantids. same here. i have a trapdoor spider i’m settling in.
one air bubble escaped…
oh well, still cool vid
Finland
where usa, asia, ect
It lives here in the wild.
where did u get this thing????
No, it has to go to the surface to get fresh air for it’s bubble!
the spider it traps a thin layer of air around its body using the hairs on its abdomen and legs.The spider can replenish the air in its bell by transporting air from the surface. However, frequent replenishment is unnecessary because the structure of the bell permits gas exchange with the surrounding water: oxygen is replenished and carbon dioxide expelled due to differences in osmotic pressure.
If you pop that bubble the spider would have to go to the surface to get a new air pocket. Even tho it lives in the water it has to carry that air pocket it when even it decides it needs to move. Thats why usually they are resting on an area as you see in the video. and i believe that the babies are born in water next to the air pocket its mother leaves behind so when they are born they will automatically head towards the bubble or be near enough to it.
these r amazing creatures and btw believe it or not they can live their entire life under water, their bubbles can filter the air from the water!
if you pop there bubble would they drown to death? n how do they have there babys?
thats incredible how they are able to bring bubbles of air underwater with them
This species is entirely aquatic. They bring bubbles down in the hair on their abdomen and put it in a little web net underwater, so they have an air source.
AWESOME…I’ve read about these.congrats on another great vid. you always seem to have the Koolest animals around……..
