Halobates - Oceanic Insects
These are the only pelagic (offshore in salt water) insects. Rather an extensive web site--several pages on biology, taxonomy, etc. Looks like North American species should be: 1-Halobates micans, Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Atlantic coast, and offshore. 2-H. sericeus, southern Pacific coast.
