    Videos of the bugs in question would have been a good addition to the article…

      There is one linked in the article called “Rhagobot operation 1”.

        That’s of the robot. I want one of the bugs. It’s hard to understand what they’re replicating.

            Sorry, I should be more clear. I’ve seen water striders before, but this article is about a specific kind of water strider that’s faster than others due to its fan propulsion. I wanted to see that type of water strider because I want to compare with the robot they created.

            Cool video though. I didn’t know that’s how they eat.
