This is probably the only spider specie in the world that spend its whole life underwater. They build there their webs, feed and breed. This is the only specie in the family Argyronetidae.
Here, in the picture, you can see how it transports oxygen from the water surface to his hideout, using hairs on his abdomens.

I used aquarium. It is impossible to take shot like this in the river where I've found these spiders... except if I only had Nikonos underwater camera :D
