Close to the summit. Back in 2002. The mists just covered the top of this particular fell so that day I had my bait up in the clouds - what a day! On coming down the 'edge' only a few meters or so, we emerged from the clouds above us - and the views were fantastic. I will be climbing Helvellyn again next year and hopefully getting some new pics with the digital camera - this was taken with 35mm film.
- and yes those are remnant hair strands blowing off of an apparently freshly-styled barnet and a half highlighted as he strides purposefully into a spring headwind, oblivious to how great he looks sideways.
Perhaps his sister? should have said something.
( Did he offend his rug editor perchance ? - ed )

Male water striders often "mate guard" by holding on to females for prolonged periods of time. Females, on the other hand, often try to prevent this because having a male attached makes them more vulnerable to predators.

Water striders generally feed on arthropods (such as this insect) that fall on to the water's surface and get stranded. They frequently feed on mosquito larvae.

Spring has come to my pond, with hundreds of tiny water striders, plus quite a lot of mating damselflies. This one was very small, its body length was perhaps a couple of mm.
Helvellyn ( /hɛlˈvɛ.lɪn/) (possible meaning: pale yellow moorland) is a mountain in the English Lake District, the highest point of the Helvellyn range, a north-south line of mountains to the north of Ambleside, between the lakes of Thirlmere and Ullswater. Helvellyn is the third-highest point both in England and in the Lake .
Pete Iles descends to the gap on Striding Edge (I) before the final ascent to Helvellyn. The snowy buttresses of Saint Sunday Crag in the background lend an alpine ambience to the traverse.

Water striders are found in ponds and slow-moving streams and rivers. They sit on top of the water and move with ease (and with speed, as you can see here!).
What adaptations allow them to move so easily on top of the water? How are they using their legs?

Gerridae is a family of true bugs and common name is water striders,water bugs.We can fine Water Striders in any pond, river,lake and waterfalls.It have identified over 1,700 species.
Don't worry, normal collecting will resume soon, I'm moving house at the moment so I don't want anything going missing at the wrong address. In the down time, I've been fiddling with LDD :)

Early Halloween spooks, a relatively simple moc with (mostly) well lit photos!
Able to engulf a minifigure whole!
Not sure if this strider is done with the little bug on the left, if it hasn't noticed it yet, or just doesn't care for it, but bugs that fall into the water are what they eat. This is late afternoon, and the angle of the sun made for this interesting effect.
The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water skeeters, water scooters, water bugs, pond skaters, Jesus bug, etc. I found little information on the various species, so it's likely they are all very similar and that actual differences are complicated for the lay person to determine...
on iNaturalist some suggested something closer, Tribe Gerrini, not sure what that means...
