Aquarius (likely remigis)

Assuming size is correct, Gerris is generally smaller.

I wonder

if this is in the genus of Gerris? Looks very similar.

A type of "pond skater" yes, they are a type of true bug. As a kid I thought they were spiders too and was quite surprised that some can even fly.

Dear Kathleen

please do not post any pictures besides the ones of the insects that you would like to have identified. It distracts. You can give a webside address together with your profile if you go under 'your acount'.
