Artist's Comments

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.

Brilliant, did you do this in an aquarium through glass or underwater somehow?

Light waits for no man. You're either out there, or you miss it. Forever.

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! :D

Great shot. It can't be easy getting that much detail underwater. Beautifully done.
