Water Spiders and Their Air Nests in Wet Habitats
Water spiders inhabit shallow stagnant pools and marshes and escape underwater by trapping air in a bubble among their hairs. A female spins a silk egg cell resembling a small bird egg and guards hundreds or thousands of eggs in a diving bell. Some species carry the egg sac, others nest in crevices or leaves, and a woodland spider binds leaves into a nest. Dormice frequently use these nests as roofs for their own homes.
