thank you martinl for the help but I think that's a Gerris because it haven't a tail like the Rantara genus and it sail over the water not inside

Of course this water scorpion is an aquatic bug, and an insect, and not a scorpion at all. It should have a long tail that I am not noticing. Nice find Ramon.
