there are micro hairs that are almost water proof
Hydrophobic, meaning they repel water, which helps the water strider stay afloat. This allows the insect to utilize surface tension to stay on top of the water while moving.
they are neutrally buoyant. they have ballast tanks to achieve this
Insects that have the ability to walk on water have feet that are spread very far apart. This allows their weight to be distributed over a larger area and stops them from breaking the surface tension of water molecules sticking together.
There is a lizard, the Brown Basilisk, which does go by the name "Jesus lizard" because it is able to run across the surface of water for short lengths of time. See link for photos and video.

The basilisk lizard, often referred to as the "Jesus Christ lizard," has the remarkable ability to walk on water. This is achieved through its unique physical adaptations, including large, webbed toes that increase surface area and allow it to run quickly across the water's surface. When threatened by predators, the basilisk can utilize this skill to escape by sprinting across ponds or streams.
