Pond skater

The pond skater is a delicate water-based insect commonly found on still bodies of water across the Northern Hemisphere.Pond skaters float on the surface of the water sensing vibrations and ripples in the water with sensitive hairs on their legs and bodies. If an insect accidentally falls into the water, the ripples it makes will tell the pond skater exactly where it is and the pond skater will dart across the surface of the pond to catch its prey.
