Larose Forest. These guys look more like spiders than bugs, but they are indeed Hemiptera. They walk on the water with ease, thanks to very fine hairs on their feet which repel water. They are also spider like in the way they use the surface of the water as spiders use their web: the slightest vibration brings them running! The red colouration is from decaying vegetation in this small forest pond.
