Some insects can stand on the surface of water because water is usually adhesive and cohesive. This is made possible by the molecules in the water.
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.
Insects that are able to walk across the surface of water are called water striders. Water striders make use of the high surface tension of water together with their long, hydrophobic legs to stay above water.
Water, especially from a stream or creek, has many insects that are not visible to the eye. One quart of it can have as many as 1000 insects.
