Ancylometes is a fishing spider genus from Central and South America where they live near ponds lakes rivers and other freshwater habitats. These spiders can walk over water rather fast in a fashion similar to water striders. This is because of fine air-trapping hairs on the tips of their legs. They can dive underwater and will consume anything from insects to small lizards and fish.
