Skate, date, mate

Nature produces some wonderful creatures. One that is especially loved by little children is The Pond Skater. This little flying bug moves across the surface of water of ponds, canals and slow running rivers. It skates or walks on the water’s surface with ease. They appear to be quite at home on the surface of our garden pond.
