Aquatic bugs are insects that live in or near water. They can be found in various habitats, including ponds, streams, and wetlands. Common types of aquatic bugs include water striders, dragonfly nymphs, and water boatmen. These insects play important roles in their ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey. Many aquatic bugs have adaptations that help them thrive in their watery environments. For example, water striders have long legs that allow them to walk on the surface of the water, while dragonfly nymphs are excellent swimmers. These adaptations enable them to find food and avoid predators effectively.
