When I was a kid of about 8, I used to play in a local river in Barnstead, I had one of these arachnids run up my leg into my shorts. It came out due to an immediate (although embarrassing public) disrobing. It is something that crosses my mind to this day every time I am on the water. I will admit that more than a few Water Spiders have met with my wrath over the years since that day.
