Here, you doubting Thomas/Soferdig! Reflection of the flash below. I don't even know what a Chinaman's pipe is, but if present, I'd probably try it. Those underwater fishing spiders are in a league of their own collecting airbubbles like a little oxygen tank ported around on their fur while they chase fish EEEEEEEK. I read more about and saw more terrifying photos of spiders last night than ever before.

I have had the following conclusions reached on two websites:
Spider is upside down, we see it's belly.
Spider is dead.

Both were confirmed by me carefully prodding it back to the surface with a flower stem this a.m. It wasn't nearly as pretty thereafter. Just your usual large brown dead spider. So my short lived mystery is over as quickly as it began, but I know there are more out there and probably in the house..........
