My name is.. Strider! Waterrr Striderrr!
Water Striders, the insects that literally walk on water. Also known as Pond Skaters, these bugs don’t float but instead take advantage of the water’s surface tension! CooooL! 😀

Wow. Great capture. Interesting.
oh wow! That is some awesome photo!
They are such cool bugs, aren’t they? Hilaire Bulloc has a great little poem about the water strider I used to recite as a kid–haven’t thought about that for years.
The Water Strider here shall teach
A sermon far beyond our reach:
He flabbergasts the Human Race
By gliding on the water’s face
With ease, celerity, and grace;
But if he ever stopped to think
Of how he did it, he would sink.
Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)
cool! I thought this is a robot with those straight mtel legs.
Very nice!
i’ve never seen or heard of these guys before! awesome
i’d love to be able to ‘walk on water’ or glide, how fun would that be 🙂
Very cool, did’nt know about the water tension, good info..:-)
Wow, that is simply an amazing shot!
Very interesting. Nice shot.
That is such an fascinating subject! I like the shadows in the shot.
Great shot. Interesting subject and excellent portrait.
I’m not sure I even want to know what you used to capture that picture. I know I’d have to run out and buy one…I love it!
Amazing shot, your pictures are always some of my favorites.
W.O.W! I’ve never been that close to one before…..don’t think I’d want to either. But man, your picture makes it look like modern art! Cool!

Those are the coolest insects to watch. Did you know they made little kayak-foot pontoons so people could move around on flat water like them? Only you stand and use a paddle. I saw it demonstrated once on a lake. It must have either been very difficult or not very fun or I suppose we’d be seeing more of them around!
Great photo!
Awesome!! I’m sure I see the lil’ guy smilin’ at ya!
nice capture!! If you hadn’t told me what it was I would have thought it was a kids toy 🙂
They are weird looking things.
Great! I’ve tried before and just can’t get them neat like you1
