=**How Do Little Bugs Walk On Water? **=

Answer:
=== These bugs have special legs that secrete a wax. Combined with the waters surface tension they seem to float on the water’s surface. Water has a certain property called cohesion. Cohesion is where water actually sticks to itself. The water will stretch but continue to stick together. Now scientists in China have found thousands of microscopic hairs on the water bug’s legs. These hairs trap tiny air bubbles and therefore make them float above the surface of the water. ===
