Bugs can walk on water due to a phenomenon called surface tension. The surface tension of water allows certain insects, like water striders, to distribute their weight evenly on the water's surface, enabling them to walk on it without sinking.
The bug can walk on water because of the surface tension of the water molecules
surface tension
well, the best way to dirty your turban is to wash it in muddy, dirty water and then walk down the street shouting: "My turban is dirty!!!" in a Paki voice...
Certain insects (ones with a very light weight) are able to walk on water as their weight does not break the surface tension of the water. Water has a very high surface tension, therefore easily breaking and not supporting weight above a certain limit.
it is when water molecules in the water form a 'wall'.Pond skaters have legs that spread out away from their bodies, lowering the pressure exerted by their weight and not breaking the surface tension of the water
One example of a bug that can walk on water is the water strider. Water striders have long, thin legs that help them distribute their weight and create surface tension on the water, allowing them to glide and walk on the surface without sinking.
A water strider can walk across the surface of a small pond.
A water skipper is able to walk on water based on surface tension.
Pond Skaters can 'walk' on top of the water because their bodyweight isn't enough to break the surface tension of the water, thus allowing them to 'walk' on water.
A creature of the water's surface is the water strider. It uses the surface tension of the water and its long legs to actually walk on the surface.
The property of water allowing some insects and other animals to walk on its surface is called "surface tension".
