Intertidal spiders
Scientific name: Desidae
Description
Members of the spider family Desidae often dwell near water sources, like streams and rivers, earning them the nickname 'inter-tidal spiders.' Contrary to popular belief, these spiders don't actually reside in the water but rather efficiently utilize the moist environment to support their unique lifestyle, which includes constructing distinctive, dome-shaped webs. This adaptation showcases their remarkable ability to exploit specific ecological niches. One fascinating aspect of these spiders is their contribution to controlling insect populations, which helps maintain ecological balance.
