Caption
Water striders sometimes spend their entire lives at sea, never touching the ground. When bombarded by raindrops many times their weight, the bugs plunge underwater or shoot into the air—but quickly regain their footing. Video footage of this rainy resilience bodes well for future robots. Image Credit: Fluids and STructures (FAST) Laboratory
