It's a bit hard to tell from this shot, but the male has wings. Probably around 99% of the striders in my pond are wingless.
Mark Tilden's Strider was an excellent example of low-power walking. Using very shallow angles of attack, the swing of the legs did not create much vertical displacement in the walking gait. This meant it had _almost_ a shuffle-like walk, but in fact was very elegant in its motion.
This is our mutt dog that we picked up at the animal shelter. He is half poodle, and half terrier.
He has the great poodle characteristic of not shedding his hair -- which is a great blessing!
We love you, Strider
His personality and behaviors however, are pure terrier. He loves to play. He likes to catch/chase tennis balls and old socks that we have tied up into a bundle. As you throw items to him, he will make the most athletic jumps and acrobatic contortions in order to catch what you have thrown.
In the morning, he loves to snuggle and have his tummy rubbed until he wakes up.
At night, he likes to snuggle up next to you for warmth and security.
He is a mama's dog though. He is very protective of her, and a to a lesser extent toward Amy as well. He doesn't seem to have the same protective instincts for Bryan and I. I suppose he figures us boys can take care of ourselves.
Dawn Ann says that he is our eternal 2-year old. In fact she rarely calls the dog by his real name. She usually just calls him "baby".
Me, I just call him "puppy" most of the time.
He's been a great dog, and has become a dear part of the family.
We love you, Strider.
These are Water Striders, insects of the Gerridae family.
They were apparently caught in the act!
