Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

To give you some sense of scale, that is actually a shark

Dun dun dun!

Yes, the aptly-named fishing spider genus (scientific name Dolomedes) includes several species that prove that we had a good run, but now hope has abandoned this place, and we are all doomed.

They can even breathe underwater thanks to hydrophobic hairs that trap air, though they spend more time on the surface, waiting for vibrations in the water.

Another species, the diving bell spider, is the only spider to live almost entirely underwater, though I don’t think fish are on the menu.

But you want to see more fishing spiders; I know you do.

… Gulp. Now you, and I, will struggle to unsee them. We can only pray that our eight-legged overlords are satisfied with a seafood supper.
