A water strider sits on the surface of a pond. This occurs because

Explanation:

Water striders can sit on the water surface due to they have specialized hydrophobic water-repelling hairs in their legs that allow them to use the surface tension of water in order to distribute the weight. Thus, the hairs in the legs of these insects enable them to float and move on the water surface.
