Spiders are everywhere – even underwater.
The diving bell spider, or water spider (Argyroneta aquatica), is known to live entirely underwater, from resting, catching and eating prey, as well as mating and wintering.
But this particular type of spider is also a cannibal and can be found right here in the UK in some favourite holiday hotspots along the south coast of England, as well as in Wales and in the Lake District.
