Water measurers
Scientific name: Hydrometridae
Description
Contrary to what one might assume from their unassuming appearance, Hydrometridae possess the unique ability to detect subtle vibrations on water, which they use to locate their prey. This ability is akin to the science of echolocation used by bats, though it employs the medium of water rather than air. Despite their serene, almost motionless exterior when observed, Hydrometridae are nimble predators. The name 'water measurer' is apt, as it not only reflects their habitat but also their methodical movement, appearing as if they are measuring the water with each careful step.
