One might think a raindrop could do serious damage to a tiny water strider. But a study shows that their low-density, hydrophobic exoskeletons allow them to surf jets and craters made by drops—or easily resurface if pushed underwater. In PNAS: https://t.co/xtgJFP5KVo https://t.co/tIFYak54ZU
Water striders are impervious to raindrop collision forces and submerged by collapsing craters.
