Giant water spiders
Has anyone seen the news today re the giant water spiders i only seem to catch the pictures and not the size! does anyone know how large they are? They look fantastic but so many marine things do. all i seem to hear is that they are a new discovery. and very large, yet one more fantastic creature on our planet it is such a change to hear of a new species instead of speices that are under threat of dying out.

those were spiders??? seemed like far too many "legs!"
but flipping cool nonetheless!Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars... Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

more likely to be some type of cephalopods rather than spiders.

They look more like Cnidaria (jellyfish)to me too
Although actual sea spiders are called pycnogonids (more closely related to spiders than crustaceans or other marine invertebrates - a long lost watery cousin!)
They look pretty crazy too, and I think they get especially big in the Arctic:

Are these the creatures mentioned in Dan Brown's book "Deception Point"? It's been a while since I read it and that referes to large mysterious creatures found under the Arctic if memory serves me?Gloria my little Brachypelma smithi.Comment
