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.
Would be an instant-fav if the frame was but a little bit bigger, so that the legs wouldn't be as close to the edge. Genius shot anyway, this spider-species is sooo cool!
Great shot. It can't be easy getting that much detail underwater. Beautifully done.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
