Find out that spiders know to ride prey waves like old water gods

This spider knows how to swim like fish, and eat fish too.

Australian scientists have recently discovered a very special new spider species called Dolomedes briangreenei.

What makes them different, is their ability to surf and swim like fish, while eating fish as well, even if the fish are many times bigger than them.

This spider is found in Queensland (Australia), named after the famous theoretical physicist: physics professor Brian Greene of Columbia University in the world. They are only as small as a palm, with the ability to take advantage of water vibrations to determine hunting.

Food of briangreenei spider is quite diverse.

Food of briangreenei spider is quite diverse. They eat fish, clones, tadpoles, even sugarcane toads - toads with a size three times their size, have strong invasive ability.

Therefore, this spider species is considered as one of the potential solutions to solve invasion from sugar cane toads.

This swimming spider is also very good. Normally, they glide over the water, but if disturbed or attacked, they will dive into a lake, without a farewell.

Spider blueei is capable of diving for hours, and in the meantime they also seek to hunt.

Sugarcane - one of the most aggressive invasive species in Australia.

According to theoretical scientist Robert Raven of the Queensland Museum, when I see any insects landing on the surface of the lake, the spiders will fly up like a wind through the night, grabbing their prey . dive, swim a circuit to shore and enjoy a meal.

That's the way it is, but scientists say the spider does not seem to be dangerous to humans, at least in terms of venom. Professor Greene has been bitten by him once, and has not been damaged yet.
