My jaws open sideways like scissors. I cannot eat 'whole' food, but instead use my jaws to squeeze out the
juice and throw away the hull. I eat almost anything, from
other insects to vegetation. |

As a nymph or adult water strider,
I am carnivorous and use my piercing
mouth parts to suck the juices primarily from
other insects or spiders, alive or dead.
I find food by using my front legs to detect
movement or ripples in the water and also use
my front legs to grab my prey. I am considered a
beneficial insect because I eat other insects
including mosquito larvae. |
