the fishermans spider, I'm not positive on the term, but i looked it up when i was young because i had one on me while i was fishing, a friend knocked it off of me into the water, and it stood up on the water and walked away.. apparently, they blow an air bubble under the water to catch small fish...Spiders...they're everywhere!

The water spider spider is one of the few that lives close to water or in the water. This spider can stay under water for up to several months on the same air

no not for long periods of time - some spiders that build webs underwater will install an air pocket in their web, or 'diving bell,' so that it can keep a fresh supply of oxygen nearby. They can also trap air bubbles between the hairs on their exoskeleton for use underwater.

Spider like all anthropods do not actively breath, they have no diaphram, so they cannot 'hold their breath' as the higher vertabrates do.

No; although they get it only from the body fluids of their preys.

Where do spiders get water from?

Some spiders get most of their water from their prey, but if a spider is thirsty and there is a drop of dew it will suck up water from the drop. If there is a little trickle of water running down a stone they will get their mouth down close to the stone and drink their fill. If they find a puddle of water they will drink from that. Some spiders are adapted to live around streams, or even to live under water. So those spiders will very easily get water from any large body of water.
