The water tension keeps them from sinking
Insects like pond skaters stay afloat on water primarily due to surface tension. Their long legs distribute their weight over a larger area, preventing them from breaking the surface tension of the water. Additionally, their legs are covered with tiny hairs that repel water, further aiding in their ability to walk on the surface. This combination of physical adaptations allows them to move gracefully across the water without sinking.
Some examples of bugs that can walk on water are water striders, pond skaters, and Jesus bugs. These insects have special adaptations that allow them to distribute their weight and use surface tension to stay afloat on the water's surface.

No
they walk across the land to get into a pond or wherever they want to go.
They are animal eaters.
well a pond skater moves by skating across the surface of the pond. Answered by Jomaan Sherlala
Pond Skaters have several common names. Water Striders is one other example. With a scientific name of Gerridae, they are found walking on the surface tension of stagnant or placid ponds.
yes,it can stay afloat as it has a waterproof coverings or fibrous husk to trap air.
the structure of the boat allowed it to stay afloat no matter what.
The Pond Skater is part of the Gerridae family, a group of organisms that live on the surface of the water. there are around 500 insects in this family that could be known as water striders, water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters,skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skeeters, water skimmers, water skippers or Jesus bugs.
