- Scientists of the Zoological Survey of India have discovered seven species of ‘water treaders’. (Genus: Mesovelia).
- These are semi-aquatic insects that can walk or run on the surface of water.
- They have hydrophobic setae (bristles) on their legs.
- The combination of hydrophobic setae and water surface tension prevents them from sinking.
