The Alkali Fly

.. just saw it as part of a longer Attenborough video .. first i've heard of a fly walking on the bottom of a lake ..

"Stine, who has spent decades studying tree stumps in Mono Lake, Tenaya Lake, the Walker River and other parts of the Sierra Nevada, said that the past century has been among the wettest of the last 7,000 years."

OK, the leaf beetle's fine hair allow it to wander under water, too.
