 Family Identification - Gerridae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Species in the family Gerridae are distinguished from water-striding Veliidae by noting that the middle legs of the latter arise about midway between the front and hind legs.
Some veliids are known as broad-shouldered water striders owing to the abdomen tapering posteriorly from the relatively wide mesothorax.
Families of Hemiptera: Corixidae, Notonectidae, Nepidae, Belostomatidae, Gerridae, Miridae, Phymatidae, Reduviidae, Lygaeidae, Coreidae, Pentatomidae.

When light emissions from the water surface were observed while compressing the Gerridae molecule film, it was found that the light became more intense when the film was compressed and weaker when the film was allowed to expand.
In contrast to this, the Gerridae molecule which we developed demonstrates a "function reflecting intentionality" in dynamically capturing and releasing molecules.

The backswimmers (family Notonectidae) resemble the water boatmen in appearance, but swim upside down.
The water striders, or water skaters (family Gerridae), have two pairs of long, slender legs that enable them to move over the surface film of quiet waters, where they often congregate in large numbers.
They also have a pair of short, grasping forelegs, used for catching insects on the surface.
