by Name: Diving bell spider or water spider (Argyroneta aquatica)
Where it lives: Europe and Central and Northern Asia, with a separate subspecies in Japan
What it eats: Other aquatic invertebrates and small fish
As its name suggests, the diving bell spider lives almost completely underwater; it's the only spider to do so.
It still needs to breathe air though, so it survives by creating a diving bell — spinning a web between underwater plants — and then carries air from the surface down to its web via its hairy body.
