A closer look reveals insects called water striders. They get their name from the tiny air-trapping hairs on their legs that allow them to skate on the surface of a body of water. Watch them skate and you'll see they use their middle legs to propel themselves, and their back legs to steer.

This is one of those little insects you see zooming across the top of ponds like skimmed stones. In the UK we often call them Pond Skaters, but they're also called Water Striders. This is a Common Pond Skater (Gerris lacustris). It has sensitive hairs on its legs that locate prey that have got caught in the water surface tension. It then grabs them with those short front legs and sucks out the poor insect's juices with a tough beak it has tucked underneath its body.

This is the Storm Strider, a massive warjack used by the Cygnar faction in the Warmachine miniatures game. It is armed with a pair of lightning guns and a powerful storm cannon, and is protected by thick armor. It is a imposing sight on the battlefield, and strikes fear into the hearts of its enemies.
