About ten days ago, scientists released underwater footage from the depths of the ocean that portrayed, among other things, sea spiders swimming along in the dark, icy currents. I was rather fascinated by these water-bound arachnids, and as one is wont to do in such circumstances, I promptly headed over to Wikipedia for further reading. Much to my surprise, there was a wealth of information about these little underwater critters, but nothing surprised me more than when the article announced that sea spiders "are cosmopolitan." I know that in this context, "cosmopolitan" refers merely to a near-global biological distribution of the species, but upon further research, I discovered that sea spiders are also cosmopolitan in the everyday sense too. Shocking photographic evidence after the jump.
