The Gerridae are a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or jesus bugs. Consistent with the classification of the Gerridae as true bugs (i.e., suborder Heteroptera), gerrids have mouthparts evolved for piercing and sucking, and distinguish themselves by having the unique ability to walk on water. Gerridae, or water striders, are anatomically built to transfer their weight to be able to run on top of the water's surface. As a result, one could likely find water striders present in any pond, river, or lake. Scientists have identified over 1,700 species of gerrids, 10% of them being marine.

Walking along Striding Edge on the way to Hevellyn's summit.
I last walked this route, (but going down not up), 38 years ago...it seemed a lot easier then!
Limnoporus notabilis is a fairly common water strider in the Western United States and into Canada. We can see how it spreads its skinny legs out to support itself atop the pond surface.
Photographers notes: a circular polarizer was used to reduce the reflection from the water. We can see into the pond this way... somewhat ;-)
These strange looking small black insects were in the fresh water stream going into the ocean water. I had never seen them before nor heard of them but in checking on Google they are quite common.
I had never seen this type of a BUG before, since I did not know there were such things that sit on top of the water and crawl or stride along.

A new location found for some night photography.
Camera was on a bench, waited until a couple walked into shot before pressing shutter. I like that one foot shows movement and the other is perfectly still,

View of Striding Edge from the last acsent to the summit of Helvellyn, with Red Tarn to the left and Ullswater in the distance. It was great fun clambering along the ridge, the people at the bottom give a bit of scale to the landscape.

There is a pond near my house so every once in a while I get an interesting visitor. This is a water strider. One of those bugs that looks like it walks on water. This one landed on the back of my truck.
Water striders are small insects that are adapted for life on top of still water, using surface tension to their advantage so they can “walk on water.” Water acts different at the surface. Water molecules are attracted to each other and like to stay together, especially on the surface where there is only air above.
They walk, run, hop, jump, hunt, eat, sleep and even mate on water's surface!
They belong to the family Gerridae, which is a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, commonly known as water striders, water skeeters, water bugs, pond skaters, water skippers, or Jesus bugs.
Here is my WIP Dave Strider doll, made from a Deuce head that was damaged horribly when I tried to remove his snake hair, so I sculpted it.
I based his eye shape from the flash Cascade and gave him white hair, cuz I really like the strangeness of the colour. He also got freckles cuz he’s a cutie and need to make him clothes and get glasses for him.
Most of the time, when someone walks into your shot, it's slightly annoying. In this circumstance, I think the pedestrian added to the image, and I didn't even see him coming.
