Have you ever noticed very small insects on water surfaces skating or striding swiftly over the water? Do you wonder whether it is a small-sized spider or a mosquito with long legs? Well, these little water striders that walk on water are called pond skaters. With water repellent hairy feet, these insects glide or skate across the surface of water with ease. Thanks to this skating-like movement, the insect got its name: pond skater, and the scientific name given to these insects is Gerris lacustris. It belongs to the Gerridae family, which includes more than 350 species.
