Walking on Water

I think I've found the secret of walking on water, this is after watching these water boatman insects on a neighbours pond. It seems that their legs are covered in very fine hair that traps air in between and keeps them afloat.

So that's it then, no more waxing of the legs and I need to grow a lot more hair on my arms, in fact the gorilla look might be it. Once it's grown I just lie flat on my tummy on top of the canal and move slowly across the water. Is there any of you hairy enough to try it know.

Thanks for all your comments and FAV's with my poppies photograph yesterday, glad you like it. This will look much better viewed with the black background.
