Spiders have one of two types of lungs. The first is called a book lung, where there are stacks of lamellae that absorb oxygen as it passes through them. The second uses openings in the chitin called spiracles that air passes through and gas exchange occurs.

How do Spider breathe?

Well... everybody needs air to breathe( no matter what type it is- oxygen or nitrogen or carbondioxide). Spiders need to breathe like you and I, but many scientists find it difficult to find out how spiders breathe! The simple answer is- they use their legs to breathe! That is a very WEIRD way to breathe( well the way we find it), but to spiders, that is a very UNIQUE way of breathing.FactThe above answer is very true. The spider does breath through it's legs, and they also smell through small scent detecting hairs on their legs.A few have rudimentary (book) lungs, but most don't "breath" - they do their gas exchange via pores and allow diffusion (partial) pressure to move gases in and out of cells.Spiders use a type of lung called the canter. Unlike lungs a spider only has on canter instead of two lungs.


Why do you think a diving spider surrounds itself with a bubble in the water?

water spiders are just like any other spider. they need oxygen to breathe. since their home is in the water, best thing to do is to bring the air to their home, that way they can breathe. the way they bring the air down with them is due to special hairs on their abdomen. they catch the air and allow the spider to bring it down with them.
