Water Strider Bug
The amazing water strider doesn't just walk on water. It skips across it with the grace of an Olympic skater and the power of a hockey player. The insect dances up and down to avoid being submerged by raindrops, and it can pack 15 times its body weight without sinking. www.livescience.com/62-walking-water-insect-secret-reveal...
Research finds the water strider's legs are covered with microscopic hairs that trap tiny air bubbles, allowing the insect to simply float.
