The Spider with an Aqualung - Neatorama

The diving bell spider breathes air, but spends its life underwater! To achieve this feat, this spider spins a cocoon that works as an aqualung. The spider traps tiny bubbles of air in the hairs of her legs and brings them underwater to store in the cocoon. The air bubble is also a nest for its young.

We have a small section of a server room that has 'unique' hardware going back 25 years. Certainly freaks out visitors as the server room has floor to ceiling windows and they are behind the window facing reception.
