- Let's learn about water striders today!
Water striders are commonly encountered insects.
While most insects live exclusively on land or in water,
Water Striders are unique insects that inhabit the boundary between water and land.
Most insects are light enough to float on the water's surface.
But Water Striders truly stand on the water with their foot.
To put it in human terms, it feels like this.
because of this characteristic, They are also called "Jesus bugs".
What happens if when soap bubbles are applied to their legs...?
#jesusbug #insects #science
imagine them going to their friends yelling "YOOOOO I GOT ABDUCTED, THEY WASHED MY LEGS"
LOL
Yes
Just love the hands-on approach for simple questions on this channel
On legs approach.

4:11 "they use waves as a threat to attract predators" Did you mean deter predators? Or are we dealing with suicidal water striders here
Im one of those, I can confirm water striders are very cool and i wish i could thank them for letting me eat. Sadly, They do not survive most of the time.
If they don't find a mate, someone to make ripples with, well, they get depressed.
No, it's actually to attract predators. Males use it to blackmail females into mating, essentially. Females are the ones on the bottom during mating so they are likelier to be eaten by fish from below. Males can tap the water to potentially attract fish, and the female will quickly submit to mating so that he stops, or she will get eaten.
If a female water strider rejects a male from mating with her, the male will often create water agitation nearby the female so fish and other aquatic predators come and eat her. They pretty much hold the female at gunpoint for mating.
Yes
I use those to keep my water tanks clean of mosquitoes
oh thats really clever
Will they jump out?
@@Jo-ho3zl sometimes but i just keep the water clean and they stay for months, even reproduce
They catch the mosquitoes or they can prey on te larvae too?
@@A11V1R15 both
In short, soap is slippery even when wet.
2:45 If you look closely, there is an easter egg showing an image of a water strider
*The hard 1 frame secret in 1 video ever*
Lie
Not lie. @@cs-ig8qb
genuinely jumpscared me
nice @@c4n8r
No dissect? 🤨
😢
Not today so says fishy science 😆
Too small for dissection
Edit:why are you all replying to me my comment is just so simple?
How do you dissect it, it's fragile and too small. It was already difficult to dissect a mosquito, imagine to do it on this specimen.
@@TheSunsettingtokillyoul0lThat's average 😢
Its all good and all, but if you put a cockroach in soapy water, does the water get dirty or the cockroach gets clean?
Cockroach drowns, and that's it.
@@doggoandyeet1608but is it clean?
why ask about cockroaches and not people?,
Water gets dirty.
@@solarshard3644 Yes, the wienerlieber will be clean, but hella dead tho
Presence of water striders proof that the water is clean😊
Not necessarily. As video said, you can also find them on stagnant water - the lack of flow and cleaning agents usually turns said water into a breeding ground for bacteria and algae, and, if there's fish or any other form of aquatic life (but not limited to it), you will also find ammonia, detritus and decomposing organic material in it, making it neither clean nor safe to drink.
The meaning of clean has been blown out of proportion here. Chemical free is not clean there are many contaminants other than chemicals. Don't misguide people.
I didn't knew that 😢
@@day-to-dayanimation4211
It's alright. We learn a bit every day. 😊
@@ivoryowl Thanks!!!!
"Water striders are commonly encountered in sex"
EXCUSE ME?
I was just about to comment this🤣
i was so confused when you said that but i know which part youre referring to
I taught it was one of that channels that makes insects suffer, in fact ur an great guy, did experiments, entertained me, teached me curiosities, and didnt hurt no insect, W
This was our lesson right now, because of Cohesion and Adhesion
i love the fact that he has the NERVES to pick anything up he is so much braver than meh
They literally couldn’t hurt you if they tried.
@@spiderdude2099 What if they DON'T try?
Wow I did not know this! Thank you for the info :)
Striders exist in Minecraft and their skills are based of this insect
No.
@@Wild-Dre Minecraft Lava Striders are inspired by Water Striders I think
Except they walk on lava
Haha, I remember wondering this ever since learning about what soap does to water tension in Beakman's World.
No Sebastian offerings? 🤔
the self-cleaning process is beautiful - besides our pollution, soapy substances may happen in nature
this mf crawled to me so fast in the pool it made me scream all of the ppl in the garden heard it propably
I am a pool guy and figured this out. Water striders are super hard to catch cause they are unbelievably fast and have crazy reflexes. I often use a tile soap to break the surface tension to make all the debris go to the edges and clear the water. This got me thinking, “if water striders need surface tension, what if I just remove it”. I sprayed around one and instantly it struggled and couldn’t move fast at all. They end up drowning in about a minute. I was so happy when I figured it out cause otherwise they are a nightmare.
They are good for environmental pollution indicator
So its a indicator species? Interesting
This is what the researcher in the movie The Tuxedo studied.
i was bitten by water strider before, left a red bump after stinging.
"Thorax"
My mind: "Lorax"
Mosquito+mantis+spider=strider
You're not gonna give them to sebastian how rude
i see a lot of water strider at the beach in summer. they hunt small fishes which clean peoples feet, mosquitoes... theyre great but i wish they wouldnt hunt insects and animals which are good to humans
Also, they completly safe to eat "Raw"
Next dissect a jellyfish
AI voice blows
2:45 i saw a water strider with a black background flash for a very small time
Ahhh now i know where the strider in minecraft came from :O
2:59 even worse 😂
pagal jaise
4:11 Dragonfly Larva: ight imma head out
2:47 They appear to swim well.
water strider: *flapping intensifies*
Ohh, I've always wondered what happens "if when soap bubbles are applied to their legs"
watching water striders walking around when youre high af is the best thing ever in the summertime...! 😏🤩
1:45 its wild seeing such a spindly scrawny insect take on a jumping spider. It truly thrives on the surface of water
water strider when they get released: GUYS LOOK IM CLEAN !!,!1!!1!1!1!11!
that's some weird fish
Best channel ever
Maybe
they can run on water faster than my grandma can run on land
alternative name for this bug: *Jesus.*
Soap water decreases the Surface tension, so they tend to sink
when i first saw a strider i thought it was a mosquito lol
I was bit by one and it wasn’t that bad. Also I didn’t even know it was rare so I was terrified of these little things. Pretty cool video though.
water striders are so cute
Me while swimming in the local beach:
New fear unlocked
Well, I heard that Water Striders don't really appear in wavy water, so you'd probably be safe of them in the local beach.
Oh i did not really know that thanks btw
We found Jesus' insect
Dang i didnt know they could fly
Reminds me of the Tinkerbell short with silver mist when she was dancing on the water with a bunch of striders.
Fancy terms: the two little front,small legs: pedipalps (correct me if it’s something else) waking on water: Jesus, floating:standing oh btw I thought they had a cephelothorax, but this guy said their head was separate so I guess not
What a cool insect
Biology is damn boring when you start truly going through the subject
I love this channel so much
amazing!
2:45 why did an image of a water strider just briefly flashed here?
Ngl it would be terrifying if the ground under you just ate you
HALF LIFE STRIDERS, but they can walk on water?
I always thought they are cute.
the water striders are like Jesus walking on water!
amazing channel
Am I the only one that thought that water striders Where terrifying😂😂😂
yes, it was just you
Cool AI narration man!
....said no one, ever!
Water-what, now? 🤨
Interesting video
I’m so upset finding out these mfs have wings
i call that dancing spider💀💀
Yeah im scared if they are in my pool💀
New Minecraft overworld strider
Water strider: 🐜
Water strider: 😎💧
(iykyk)
Ah yes, this channel is asking the real questions. I remember watching a show as a kid talking about how soapy water will decrease surface tension of water causing certain things to sink, and the first thought I had was "what if I'd spray soapy water over a water strider?"
Now I am the water striders with the cleanest feet.
So if they die in polluted water. If you're ever stranded in the wild. Just look for water with these guys in it?
The water can still be full of nasty bacteria and parasites. The strider would only indicate that there isn't anything oily or soapy in the water. Not that it's safe to drink.
They wash there legs bc it's either that it's dirty or it's just rubbing it's self
Can you put them in a vacuum chamber in regular water to see if they still float ?
imagine if you just saw this insect jumping towards youy at full speed
This is what she look like in human form😊
They can fly walk on land and swim? A amphibian? No that’s a land and water what do you call them? Tramphibian?
2:46 why was there a image of a water strider
Water stickbug😂
For people like me who doesn’t cares about “let’s learn about” but just want to know what happens: go 2:40
Edits are funny, really funny😂
I love watching videos of animals I have only ever heard of in animal crossing doing things
I got a dawn dishsoap add before the vid started 💀
Experimenting with soap?
Seems fishy
The name live up to its name
they're so beautiful and interesting!!!
If there's insect then there should be outsect
Very interesting!
Funny Fact:When Water Strider drowned,they friend go to where the friend drown.
love this stuff
Reminds me of the movie ''The Tuxedo''
In 2:44 did you notice an scary image pop and gone before he says ehen you observe them again in the water disturbing
I thought that these insects were called water bugs or something
water bugs are aquatic "true bugs" like water striders but they swim inside the water.
I have been bitten by a radioactive water strider
u can walk on water now?
Strider-man
Minecraft strider but in the overworld
The water strider aka cricket Jesus
And new species for me 😲
2:44 bug jumpscare
Natural jet ski 😂
