Thanks Argy these guys amazed me since my childwood,imagine our admiration for a animal that walk on the water,so many teories we invented to explain the fact and one day in the scince classe the teacher explained to us that the water haved a external pelicule,and some very ligth insects can walk on the top of this homeostatic pelicule,no miracle pure fisic :)
