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.
All insects breathe through their skin.
Light skin may be more attractive to insects because it contrasts against the environment, making it easier for insects to detect. Additionally, light skin may produce more body heat and certain scents that attract insects. Dark skin, on the other hand, may offer some protection from insect bites due to its higher melanin content.

An arthropod is a member of either spiders, scorpions, insects, and other groups. Insects are arthropods and are those with 6 legs. Others like arachnids have 8 legs. There are many other differences but this is the most obvious.
Insects are covered with a skeletal protection called an "Exoskeleton", that is located on the outside of the body, rather than the inside.
A thin layer of water molecules, known as the surface tension, forms on the surface due to the polar nature of water. This surface tension creates a "skin-like" surface that can support small objects, such as insects or paper clips, without breaking.
Some insects are able to move around on a lake or pond because of the surface tension of the lake or pond.
The surface tension of water allows it to act like a "skin" on its surface. This property is a result of the cohesive forces between water molecules, which causes them to stick together and form a surface layer that can support small objects or insects.
Earthworms are not insects. (Not all insects shed their skin.)
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, consists mainly of cells called keratinocytes.
The protein that reduces water loss at the skin surface is called aquaporin. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water across cell membranes, helping to maintain hydration and prevent excessive water loss from the skin.
Sweat pores arise from the dermis of the skin.
All insects breathe through their skin.
Is used when the skin surface is broken
Surface tension is a property of liquids that arises from the cohesive forces between the molecules at the surface. It is responsible for the "skin-like" effect that allows some insects to walk on water. Surface tension minimizes the surface area of liquids to maintain their integrity and is measured in units of force per unit length.
It depends on what you mean by "warts" Warts are cause by a virus, so this virus in in the blood stream. HPV is the main cause of genital warts and is transmitted sexually. The virus attacks the cells of the skin, and causes warts to develop on the surface
Yes, surface tension is what allows certain objects (like insects or small toys) to float on water by creating an invisible "skin" on the surface that resists penetration. This can help distribute an object's weight more effectively and keep it from sinking.
