The silver spider is an invertebrate. The way and shape of the silver spider's underwater dwelling are very magical. The silver spider also spins silk like other species of spiders, but the tough silk it spins is not used to build a web, but to build a single chamber--a bell-shaped shelter--underwater. In order to make this single room more solid and substantial, it enabled a special way of inflating the bell-shaped dwelling. The silver spider manages to inject the air bubbles between the fine hairs on its abdomen from the surface of the water into its residence, and will replenish it from time to time to ensure that it can survive long and safely in the underwater residence. The silver spider always finds a contented habitat in waters with thickets of duckweed and other aquatic vegetation. If you can keep the silver spider in a transparent fish tank and feed it some fish insects (water fleas), sword water fleas, flies and other food, you will be lucky enough to observe the masterpiece of this underwater architectural master in detail.
