Water Surface Tension

Man that is cool. We used to have a big field behind my childhood home, and at the edge of the field was a stream. There were these little bugs that would walk on top of the water, we called them water skeeters. I guess they are also called water striders, water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters, skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skimmers, water skippers, water spiders, or Jesus bugs. Anyway, this picture reminds me of that good childhood memory.
