Gangs of Pond Skaters eat backswimmers although I dont know if they attack live creatures or just dispose of corpses.
no they are to small to eat They will eat baby frogs, I have seen them fighting over them in my pond.
They eat larvae in the water and other aquatic insects/bugs. Sometimes they even eat small tadpoles and FISH! They also quite often eat each other.
Boatsman insects eat aquatic plants, algae, and a few aquatic larva of other species. Backswimmers which look very similar, are predators and have a mean bite.
other insects and fish

Backswimmers are known by various names in different countries. In the United States, they are commonly referred to as "backswimmers" or "backswimming bugs." In France, they are called "notonectes," while in Germany, they are known as "Rückenschwimmer." These names reflect their distinctive swimming style and habitat preferences across different languages and cultures.
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.
