Are <strong>bugs</strong> able to live under water as well as on land<br />
Many <strong>bugs</strong> have adapted to life in or around water.<br />
Water boatmen swim upside down, using two long legs<br />
like oars, which make them look like tiny rowing boats.<br />
They paddle through the water, chasing and catching<br />
tadpoles and small fish to eat. Giant water <strong>bugs</strong> are so<br />
large that they can catch and eat frogs and bigger fish.<br />
Water measurers can be found at the edges of ponds.<br />
They ‘skate’ across the water’s surface, stabbing at<br />
mosquito larvae with their piercing mouthparts.<br />
Scientists use electron<br />
microscopes to<br />
magnify specimens,<br />
such as this bedbug,<br />
thousands of times.<br />
A water boatman<br />
uses its longest legs<br />
like oars to propel it<br />
through the water.
