Water skaters, also known as pond skaters or water striders, primarily feed on small insects and other tiny organisms that fall onto the water's surface. They use their long legs to glide across the water and capture prey, such as mosquitoes, midges, and other insects. Sometimes, they may also scavenge on dead insects that are floating on the water. Their diet plays a crucial role in controlling insect populations in aquatic ecosystems.
