Shore bugs
Scientific name: Saldidae
Description
The fascinating world of Saldidae offers a glimpse into an often overlooked echelon of the animal kingdom. Known as shore bugs, these creatures are not your typical 'bugs' that might scurry across your picnic blanket, but rather, they dwell along riverbanks and shorelines, intricately adapted to skim delicately on wet surfaces. Their ability to walk on water, owing to the hydrophobic hairs on their legs, is not just an adaptation but a necessity for survival in their unique habitat.
