Mating Common Pond Skaters - Gerris lacustris
One of 10 species to be found in the UK. If there was ever a suitable name to describe any animal than the name Pond skater has it all. Can also be known as Water Striders, Water Bugs, Water Skeeters and even Jesus Bugs. For the record after I took I this photo I fell in the pond, luckily the camera and ring- flash survived, so I guess miracles do happen !
