Globipedidae is a family of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera. These insects are commonly known as water striders or pond skaters due to their ability to walk on the surface of water. They have long, slender legs with specialized hairs that help them distribute their weight and create surface tension, allowing them to glide effortlessly on water bodies. Globipedidae insects are predatory and feed on small insects and other aquatic organisms found in ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams.
