surface tension


Seemingly like magic, the water strider skates across the pond as if on a length of stretched plastic wrap. Magic, it is not. In addition to his hairy legs which trap tiny air bubbles and act like life preservers; it is surface tension which allows him to stay afloat and stride so gracefully.
