Tenagogerris euphrosyne (Water Strider)


As the common name suggests, water striders are typically seen resting on the water surface. The second and third pairs of legs are longer than the first. This species has an intricate pattern of brown and white on the body. It is often seen as a mating pair, and sometimes in large swarms. They may be found on fresh or brackish water.
