Water Strider

****The water strider is a small insect that lives on the water. Why does it live on the water, rather than under it? Well, it does so because when smaller insects land on the water, the water strider puts an end to the insect's struggle and misery. The water strider hunts many insects that are careless enough to land on the water through "bad piloting." Why do we need these insects?

***We need these insects because without them,those insects that bug you, and annoy you, such as the green bottle fly, would probably spread tons of disease that would cause our extinction. Although the water strider isn't the only insect that's helpful, it prevents much disease.
