Under their wings is where backswimmers [Notonectidae family] store their air. They need it for the deep dives by which they escape many predators. But when they run out of air, they must be able to get back to the surface quickly.
yes they do fly. i just answered my own question. i am a geek.
Backswimmers are aquatic insects that typically live in freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, slow-moving streams, and marshes. They are often found near aquatic vegetation where they can rest, hunt for prey, and lay their eggs.
Um i don't think. I know they bite humans like a mosquito though.
Backswimmers swim on their backs. They have cream colored wings and a dark underbelly. They also bite. They are found at the bottom of a shallow pond, and close to some plants. Boatmen swim on their stomachs and don't bite. They are found on the surface of the water.
no they are to small to eat They will eat baby frogs, I have seen them fighting over them in my pond.
