utyer 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2013 Picture isn't real good, but it looks like you got the legs splayed just right. Some spiders like orb weavers, sit with 2 legs back and 2 legs forward. Water spiders keep their legs evenly spread to help them "walk" on the water. The ones I am used to are bigger, up to 3" or 3.5" across the leg span, and a 1" to 1.25" body. Browns, olives and charcoal are pretty common in the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2013 Oh ... not water spiders then ... water striders !!! There are no spiders that actually live on the water. Any spider finding itself on the water immediately skitters across the surface to safety. The water striders are insects and 6 legged ... but I am pretty sure your little spider will get slammed none the less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
