Pond skaters, also known as water striders, are insects characterized by their long, slender bodies and long legs, which allow them to walk on the surface of water without sinking. They possess a unique ability to use surface tension to support their weight, enabling them to glide effortlessly across ponds and streams. These insects are often dark brown or black in color and have compound eyes for keen vision. Additionally, pond skaters are predatory, feeding on small insects that fall onto the water's surface.
