Title: Arthropoda & Insecta & Hemiptera & Notonectidae, Water Boatman [Go to resource]
Description: The water boatman is found in ponds and lakes throughout Britain. It swims just beneath the surface, feeding on insects that fall into the water. It can also dive into deeper water to catch tadpoles and even small fish. It breathes under water by trapping a bubble of air beneath its wings. Like many aquatic insects, it can fly, and this allows it to colonise new ponds.
