"The Remarkable Diving Bell Spider: Building Webs Underwater for Survival"

TL;DR Summary
The diving bell spider, also known as the water spider, is the only spider that lives almost entirely underwater. It creates a diving bell by spinning a web between underwater plants and transfers air from the surface to it via its water-repellent body hairs. The spider's unique adaptation allows it to survive underwater, and it has been observed that larger males occasionally eat females, despite females preferring to mate with them.
