Water striders spend most of their lives on the water's surface. Tiny hairs on their legs and feet repel water and allow them to run on the surface. #WaterStriders #TrueBugs #Gerridae #insects #macro #photography #Arizona

Walking on water - the light-footed pond hopper looks like just another skinny black bug from a distance, but up close in the right light it's transformed into a magical beast.
