Let's learn about water striders today!
Water striders are commonly encountered insects.
While most insects live exclusively on land or in water,
Water Striders are unique insects that inhabit the boundary between water and land.
Most insects are light enough to float on the water's surface.
But Water Striders truly stand on the water with their foot.
To put it in human terms, it feels like this.
because of this characteristic, They are also called "Jesus bugs".
What happens if when soap bubbles are applied to their legs...?

Im one of those, I can confirm water striders are very cool and i wish i could thank them for letting me eat. Sadly, They do not survive most of the time.

@chamonix2602 8 месяцев назад

If they don't find a mate, someone to make ripples with, well, they get depressed.

@DJFracus 7 месяцев назад

No, it's actually to attract predators. Males use it to blackmail females into mating, essentially. Females are the ones on the bottom during mating so they are likelier to be eaten by fish from below. Males can tap the water to potentially attract fish, and the female will quickly submit to mating so that he stops, or she will get eaten.

@psychotheman 7 месяцев назад

If a female water strider rejects a male from mating with her, the male will often create water agitation nearby the female so fish and other aquatic predators come and eat her. They pretty much hold the female at gunpoint for mating.

@day-to-dayanimation4211 7 месяцев назад

Presence of water striders proof that the water is clean😊

@ivoryowl 5 месяцев назад

Not necessarily. As video said, you can also find them on stagnant water - the lack of flow and cleaning agents usually turns said water into a breeding ground for bacteria and algae, and, if there's fish or any other form of aquatic life (but not limited to it), you will also find ammonia, detritus and decomposing organic material in it, making it neither clean nor safe to drink.

@Unknown-xm8ll 5 месяцев назад

The meaning of clean has been blown out of proportion here. Chemical free is not clean there are many contaminants other than chemicals. Don't misguide people.

@gavinlundquist4287 22 дня назад

I am a pool guy and figured this out. Water striders are super hard to catch cause they are unbelievably fast and have crazy reflexes. I often use a tile soap to break the surface tension to make all the debris go to the edges and clear the water. This got me thinking, “if water striders need surface tension, what if I just remove it”. I sprayed around one and instantly it struggled and couldn’t move fast at all. They end up drowning in about a minute. I was so happy when I figured it out cause otherwise they are a nightmare.
