(Unknown species), Family: Notonectidae 7mm backwimmer, a visitor to the porch light, shot with diffused internal flash. Backswimmers are any of the species of true bugs belonging to the taxonomic family Notonectidae. They are aquatic insects able to breathe underwater without gills, and are vicious predators in the water. Backswimmers, although spending a large majority of their time in the water, are also able to walk on land as well as fly. Their preference is to fly because of their large and clumsy hind legs which are a giant hindrance while walking on land. Their legs are used to grasp their prey and keep them secure so that they won't be able to slip away. The Backswimmer has a boat-shaped back and legs that are in such a shape like paddles. The backswimmer can be found in a variety of different habitats. The most common habitats include ponds, rivers, streams, and really any source of still water. The most interesting habitat that they can be found in would be rice fields. They also fly from water source to water source as described in previous sections. Backswimmers can be found throughout all of Europe, areas East up to Eastern Siberia, and to some territories to the South that can reach as far as North Africa and India. The eating habits of a backswimmer usually consist of tadpoles, mosquito larvae, small fish, and salamanders but any living thing that moves it will attempt to attack and eat. There are also some species of backswimmers that are even herbivores and eat algae. Others though have been known to be scavengers. The backswimmer has a tendency also to attack things that can be quite larger than they are. For instance a couple nicknames for the Backswimmer are: toe-biter and waterwasp because of their habit to bite humans on the toes for fingers.
