    Can spiders swim?
    What happens when you wash them down the plug hole? Have washed a few HUGE ones over the past few days, or is it just the same one being washed over and over)

    i used to put spiders in jars of water wen i was a kid to kill them but they usualy kept alive with a big air bubble they rapped around themselves somehow so I had to start putting them in paint instead.

    well you asked. and they cant swim because they breathe through their exoskeleton by means of spiracles which are like a masses of pores all over their body. spidey goes in water, spidey cant breath, spidey dies.
