Nature Corner/Storybook Room - Water Strider

 Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Saturday morning, July 18, 2026

A tiny insect that you might see on any pond is Uncle Bob Devine's guest for this Saturday, the Water Strider. A water strider is able to walk, stand, or float on water because the hairs in his legs and body are waterproof. Plus, he is able to use the surface tension of the water for added buoyancy. He is able to carry about 15 times his own body weight on water (quite a little boat).

Let's let Bob and water strider share more about him with us!
