How can insects run on water

Answers

Insects run on water through the very interesting and important property of water that is surface tension.If the insect is less dense than water,then the insect can easily run.
I HOPE IT HELPED

MayankGBN: It is not simply the water-air surface tension that allows the insect to walk on water. It is the combination of the legs not being wetted and the surface tension. The legs of water striders are hydrophobic. ... This is due to "hydrogen bonding": a proton in water is shared between two oxygen atoms of two water molecules.
