Tenagogerris euphrosyne
Family: Gerridae
Order: Hemiptera
The Gerridae, or Water Striders, are small hemipterans or "true-bugs" - insects that feed by piercing prey and sucking the contents through the proboscis. The prey include spiders and insects. Cannibalism is common and the adults will prey upon other adults as well as larvae. On the other hand, the adults will sometimes share large prey with other adults.
Prey is located from vibrations in the water surface.
Gerridae adults will communicate with others for the purpose of mating. Several specific frequencies of vibration are produced, each frequency communicating a different message to assist in the mating process.
The Gerridae are very similar in appearance to another semiaquatic family of bugs, the Veliidae.
The striders walk on the water, thanks to surface tension and hydrophobic hairs on the legs. The hairs extend across the whole body too, making the insect able to repel splashes of water. They are so successful in their niche, that the strider family, the Gerridae, are widespread with some 1700 species described, 10% of which are marine.
The Gerridae are polymorphic in that they can have wings in one generation, when there might be a need to relocate to a new water body, however the next generation may not have wings, if the current environment is stable.
The Gerridae possess scent glands in the thorax that deter fish from eating them.

Water Striders ( Family Gerridae), on Reay Creek, BC. Tiny hairs on their legs trap air and repel water, allowing them to walk on water.

Water strider making ripples as it moves in a slow running stream. Liked how part of the water was still enough to catch its reflection as well.
I was out trying to chase some mammatus clouds and found myself hunting a lighthouse. The lighthouse wasn't working the way I'd hoped so I left the location. As I was walking back I heard calls coming from a woman nearby. "Come on, let's go" I heard her call. I noticed the bright red jacket bustling over the rocks towards the yelling mother. He seemed to be studying the papers in his hand and didn't realize how far he'd gone out. I quickly snapped a shot of him center stage. The storm was over, a happy mother.

This model were built specially for contest on Bricker.ru, but was disqualified for being "published" on offline Megabricks Lego festival (I brough it for Bionicle exposure, you can see some photos here). "NEVER EVER FUCKING LUCKY" - Forsen on any stream.
I wanted to make something in typical "Black Fantasy" style, using a lot of black pieces. Also I wanted to make it look organically. Many thanks to Lil' Taggy for selling me some cool black tails and red loupes.
Also I decided to make little piece of planet for this bad guy. It has interesting experiments with sick Clickits details, still in love with them. But I have no enough time to make it fully detaild, so it has some holes somewhere that I didn't like at all.
You can also see difference in lighting between some photos, that because it were made in different place (right during festival and at home), soz fow that.
I am very interested to know what you think about this model, so any comments are welcome!
This path heads up toward West Kennet Long Barrow, the construction of which began just over five thousand six hundred years ago. I find that a little difficult to comprehend, to be honest!
I had forgotten that I bought this little Sigma lens so I decided to have a day shooting with it. It's surprising how accurate it is for such a cheap lens and the image quality is quite good.
This walk turned into a bit of a mudfest for the next mile of so. The day was unusually mild for late December - would have been good if it had been a frosty day

Water ail juvenile
Water rails have distinctive feet adapted for their wetland habitat. They have long toes, but lack webbing, which allows them to walk on muddy and slippery surfaces. The long toes also help them grasp vegetation, although they don't often perch.
"Stride la vampa ! la folla indomita corre a quel fuoco lieta in sembianza: urli di gioia eccheggiano... Cinta di sgherri donna s'avanza! Sinistra splende su' volti orribili la tetra fiamma che sale al ciel! "
(da Il trovatore di Giuseppe Verdi)
