Spider in frame

Victoria regia Lindl of Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden The leaves have been cleared. I found a spider on the opposite side of a huge leaf. Victoria regia Lindl. The veins of leaves form various shapes. This spider lives on water. They will dive underwater to create a large bubble, and then they will rely on the air in the bubble to prey and rest underwater.
