So, it is an awesome bug that you can do fantastic things with! So they are these little helicopters that zip around ponds and lakes. Now lets learn more about these cool critters!
Freshwater skimmers are little insects that inhabit near-water environments. They have long bodies and large eyes to help them see their food. They're very quick and zip around to feed on other bugs, like mosquitoes and flies. They are the superheroes of water and keep the bug population in check!
They are extraordinary creatures, freshwater skimmers. These birds have two other sets of wings helping them glide on water. A layer on their bodies gets their bodies dry. The skimmers drop eggs in the water so more little skimmers can zip around.
Perhaps the coolest thing about freshwater skimmers is their legs. They have long thin legs that allow them to skate across the water. It’s as if they are ice skating, but on a pond! They also help them to catch their food when they are hunting. Freshwater skimmers glide effortlessly over the water.
Freshwater skimmers play an important role in keeping our water clean. They pull off yet another act of charity because they keep other bugs in check by eating them. This makes sure that everything stays balanced so that all of the water plants and animals can grow properly. There'd be far too many bugs buzzing about causing issues without skimmers.
A few precautions can help see freshwater skimmers (not the kind flying in the air) up very close. Take a look near ponds or lakes that have water still. Skimmers beeline for the edges of the water, so look for their glossy wings. You can also create a tiny water feature in your backyard to draw in skimmers. Just be patient and quiet so you don’t scare them away!
