Well, They CAN live in the water for a few hours, but eventually, they should drown. They, like many insects need little amounts of oxygen to survive, so that is why they can stay alive underwater for so long.

Yes i caught one a half hour ago and its been under a cup ever since and its dead!

More than likely it became dehydrated and dried out, remember it's a small critter, so it's going to take some time to suffocate. Either that or that starved to death! - Shaun Smalley (May 26, 2015) (Age, 16)
