There s always a white color on the kitchen tank water that jumps around like a bug

Water strider to be exact.

Water striders are aquatic hemiptera insects, Hemiptera, water striders.

Family: Water Striders.

Scientific name: aquarlus elongatus

Habitat: Inhabits still water or slow streams.

Exterior features: slender body, very light; The forefoot is short and can be used to catch prey; The middle and hind feet are elongated and have fine hairs with an oily texture, which is waterproof. The body color is dark brown and the body length is about 22mm.

It usually lives in groups and can be seen in some parts of southern China for many years. The female of the water strider lays its eggs on plants or dead branches and leaves under water, and after the eggs hatch, the nymphs sink to the bottom of the water first, and soon float to the surface, with the activities of other individuals, the speed of movement on the surface of the water is very fast, the water strider is a small aquatic insect commonly found in lakes, ponds, paddy fields and wetlands, about 1 cm long, can paddle on the surface of the water. It has 6 slender legs and cilia on its feet.

A medium-sized water strider weighs about 30 milligrams, which is lighter than water, so it will not sink into the water when it walks on the water.

In addition, there are rows of non-watery hairs growing on the joints of the foot of the water strider, so the part of the water that comes into contact with the foot will be concave, but the toe of the foot will not break through the surface tension. The water strider has three pairs of legs, and the division of labor between the three pairs of legs is also very clear, the forefoot is used to hunt, the middle foot is used to divide and jump, and the hindfoot is used to glide on the surface of the water, so that it can move freely on the water.

However, if you add a little neutral detergent to the water, it will weaken the surface tension of the water, at this time, the hair on the feet of the water strider walking on the surface of the water is wet, and the foot breaks through the surface tension and penetrates into the water, the water strider will sink into the water, and when the water strider sinks, due to the effect of surface tension, the water strider will no longer float.

The small aquatic insect water strider is known as the "skater in the pond" because it not only glides on the water, but also jumps and plays gracefully on the surface like an ice skater. Its brilliance is that it neither cuts through the water nor soaks its own legs. Water striders are not only harmless to humans, but can hunt and kill insects or become bait for fish.

When the fifth instar nymph of the water strider turns into an adult after molting, it is often seen that they have mating. The male will crawl above the female for about thirty minutes. When the adult of the water strider has copulate, the female's main job is to lay eggs. It prefers to lay eggs on small, thin stalks of aquatic plants.

The small white worms on the surface of the water in the kitchen tank are daphnias. Daphnia is a small crustacean that usually lives in water bodies such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. They usually jump in the water, look for food, and have an instinct to escape predators.

If the water quality in the tank deteriorates, daphnia may appear. To solve this problem, the water in the tank can be replaced, or the tank can be cleaned and the water replaced. In addition, the surface of the tank can be covered with a plastic film to prevent daphnia from jumping into the air.

It is hatched from eggs laid by female mosquitoes in water. The body is slender, the chest is wider than the head or abdomen, and the body is bent and stretched when swimming, commonly known as the heel worm.

Remove it and continue drinking. If you feel nauseous, use this tank of water to water flowers, grow vegetables, raise fish, etc. Actually, as long as the pond water contains mosquito eggs and settled.

I was just eating a pomegranate when I suddenly saw a small worm wriggling on the table, and when I got on my stomach to look, it suddenly jumped and scared me to death......What kind of worm is this, it can jump, it's terrible
