Fluidr / Water Spider by Dah Professor

Female Water Strider apterous (a.k.a. Water Spider; Neogerris hesione) - The Main Park road (State Highway 9336) where it intersects with Rock Reef Pass, Everglades National Park, Miami-Dade County, Florida

Back in small-town Jersey, we called these guys "Water Spiders", and to be honest, I was a bit surprised when I found out their actual common name was "Water Strider".
Water Strider is certainly descriptive of how they opperate, but I think I'm gonna continue to call them "Water Spiders", in that they make their living much the same as a free roaming Wolf Spider.
