Desis bobmarleyi
Desis bobmarleyi is an underwater spider species found in the shores of north eastern Queensland, Australia. It is known to build air chambers from silk. D. bobmarleyi is named in honour of the Jamaican singer-songwriter Bob Marley. As an intertidal species the name was inspired by Marley's song "High Tide or Low Tide". In April 2018 the World Register of Marine Species named it one of the top 10 most remarkable species discovered in 2017.
